I'm new and need some support I had a baby boy in January, and lost 40 pounds on it in three months. Then, I became a full time working mommy and stopped doing it altogether. I'm back on the weight loss journey. I was 212 when I delivered, 192 pre pregnancy weight, and 170 now!!! I want to get down to 150 long term, but right now 160 is my goal. I'm 23 years old, and a nursing mom!!

Hello everyone!! Just joined today. I have two kids and my youngest is leaving for college iin 10 days. Finally committed to getting back in shape since I will have lots of free time now. My problem is that I don't look ahead and prepare and end up grabbing fast-food every day. I'm hoping to lose 50 lbs and will need all the support I can get!!!

Hi Everyone!
My name is D, I am a 25 year old,mother of 2 and new to MFP. After having my son in October 2011 I weighed 220. I now weigh 175 just from counting calories and working out. My goal is to be 115. ( that will be the smallest I have ever been as an adult) I am ready to work my *kitten* off literally! I would love some support and I would love to support and meet more mom's like myself WE CAN DO THIS!!

Hey Ladies,
I am a mother of an AMAZING 4 year old daughter. and Would LOVE to have some support from mothers like you that know what we want and know that we have to make a change in our lives to help better our kids lives!!

Hi everyone

I am Tamaryn, a 31 year old wife & mother from Johannesburg, South Africa.

Keen to work in a team environment to stay on the straight & narrow, as it were. Always easier for me if I am rivalled, & have to be accountable. Otherwise it all goes pear... literally & figuratively.

Hello,
first time mom of an 8 month old. Still yet to loose any weight =( Ironically i work at a gym, but I have yet to work out since my baby was born. I didnt think I would have to come back to work so soon, so I am struggling with finding time for myself. I rush home right after work to spend time with my little girl, and by the time she goes to bed I am just exhausted. I walk to work most days which helps, but not enough to loose the weight. I heard about "my fitness pal" and figured I would give it a shot!! And join a group to feel more connected to others with the same goal. Here goes nothing!!

Hi all,
I am mom to two and a teacher. I have been working to loose the extra weight I had before I was pregnant and gained while pregnant. I had Gestational Diabetes for both pregnancies, and I know for a fact I don't want to EVER have diabetes again. That has been my main motivator and helped me kick my Mountain Dew habit. This forum should be a great encouragement.

Hello all! Im a mother of two boys ages 4 and 2... They keep me busy..and stressed lol. I see a lot of you tend to reach for the comfort foods too. I definitely have that problem. I like healthy foods, but often find myself adding a lot more junk in than I should, just to keep myself 'happy' I guess? I am 150 lbs, but only 5 ft tall so would really like to get down to125 or less. Thanks all for being here

Hi, everyone. I'm Sarah...just started MFP today. I'm doing good so far. Need to drop these last 10-15 pesky baby lbs then maybe even more...hoping to find the site/app/groups motivational.

Hey Everyone! I'm Rebecca, I'm a mother of three little girls, Amanda (6.5) Emily (4) and Olivia is my newest at almost 8wks! So having just turned 30 this past July I realize that while I'm more prepared for motherhood now than I probably was the first time around, handling three girls is insane! I was on the brewer diet during my pregnancy and the concept is easy....eat very low amounts o carbs...kick up the protein and lay off the sugar...well laying off the sugar is my main problem. At 5'2" and 216 I am definitely obese...And 71lbs seems like Mt. Everest sometimes! Right now my goal is to get under 200 by Christmas! With a longterm goal of 145lbs by my 31st birthday next July! It's feasible I think but man I have trouble with sweets! I bought two bags of funsize kit kats and had a plan to give them to the girls every once in a while as a reward for doing something special; that plan lasted all of five minutes...I ate WAY too many! So I'm using the excuse that it makes my infant fussy since she breastfeeds to hopefully curb my need to buy and consume all the sugar...Just wanted to stop in and say HI and let ya'll know that we are all in this together!

Welcome! You are doing a great job already, and it will benefit your little ones in the long run too:)

Hello everyone **waves**

Im Beccy, I recently turned 30 and live in the uk with my husband and two children. Millie is 7 and Josh is 5. I was a member of mfp a couple of years ago and done really well but I almost got to goal and stopped tracking. Then I stopped exercising. Then I slipped back into other old habits. Grrrrr.:brokenheart: :sad: :sad:

Now im back where I started at 157lbs which is what I weighed just after the birth of my son!!

So im back with some new found motivation and this time I am going to get to goal and stay there :laugh:

Hi ladies. My name is Tiffanny. I am 23 years old and a mother to an almost 2 year old boy. I peaked at an all time high after giving birth to my son weighing in at 185. After 2 years of on an off dieting, exercising, and slowly learning how to eat clean and healthier, I have lost 45lbs. I downloaded the MFP app on my phone about a year ago and only logged on and off when I remembered. I didn't know a thing about the online site or forums. I am so glad I've gotten back on MFP and learned about the site. I'm hoping to make lots of new friends so we can all help each other to our goal. I want to lose about another 30lbs and learn more about toning and strengthening my muscles. Would love all the tips I can get. (:

Hello all,

I'm a 36 year old new mom to a beautiful baby girl, and am looking forward to getting to know you.

Many thanks in advance for your support, and count on mine in return.

Hello,
