in Introduce Yourself
I committed to getting healthy on July 30, 2012. I am a stay at home mom to a beautiful 1 year old girl. We spent 8 years with fertility treatment and after being told that we would never have a child of our own, we got pregnant naturally. Everyday is a challenge to just find time to breath much less everything else I am asking of myself. I really need a supportive group that can help me stay on track. I have 89 pounds to lose. It is so hard to admit that but I have to get past the shame and just do it. Send me a friend request if you have the time.

    Hey sister!
    First, huge huge congrats on your baby girl! That is so awesome! My daughter is a year and a half now, and I love every day with her. I'm trying to get back into shape so I can be the best mom I can, and MFP has been a great place of support. Feel free to add, I try to log on every day, and I belong to a couple of great mom groups on here.

    What a blessing! I've waited 16 years to get pregnant. Just when we were planning to adopt, I got pregnant! My first one, I was 39...my second one I was 42. Never in my wildest dreams that I will get pregnant not one but bless with two healthy kids. Physically tired...yes. That's why it's so important for me to get healthy for them. Totally understand you. Welcome to MFP!

    I have 2 kids, a 4.5 year old and a 17 month old. You can do it! For the past 2 weeks I started eating right and tracking my food on here. Just today I started exercising. I have some workout DVDs and I came home right after work and did it.

    Last year I was running and I did that at 5am. I will have to get my workouts in at that time as well. Today was a fluke.

    We can do it, it's hard, but rewarding.

    I'll send you a request. I'm a 32 yr old mama of three. One set of twins who just started school and a three year old. We went through fertility struggles to get the twins and then got a surprise extra. This journey of weight loss is tough but also awesome. You will feel so accomplished and have more energy very soon!
