in Introduce Yourself
Hello Everyone! My name is Brianne and I'm a 32 year old stay at home mom. My son will be 2 in November. I wasn't in the greatest shape when I became pregnant and then packed on an additional 50-60lbs. during my pregnancy. Shortly after giving birth I was at my all time highest weight. I'm 5'4 and was 190lbs. It's wasn't until I started having troubles with inflammation and pain in my joints that I decided it was time to get serious about losing weight. I've been on my journey for almost a year and have been able to lose almost 30lbs. I would like to lose an additional 20-25lbs. but I'm more focused on being healthy, toned and fit.

I'm looking to meet other friends who are inspired and motivated by living a healthier lifestyle and making forever changes in their life :)

    You can do this Brianne!! I am also a SAHM, I have three young children...my newest being 6 months old. So I know how demanding it can be and how sometimes we put ourselves and our health on the back burner. Just always keep in mind that you have to be healthy to take care of your wonderful son! One pound at a time, one step at a time, you will get there. :)

    Although I'm not a SAHM lol I am looking for motivational friends as I begin my journey. I was doing really well for awhile and then I was unemployed for about a month so depressing really hit me and yep I eat when I'm depressed. I decided today that I had to get back on track before I gained everything back that I worked so desperately to lose. I joined this site in hopes to find others to motivate and to also motivate me. Anyone can feel free to add me.

    Hi. I'm a 34 y/o mom of 3 little ones (ages 5, 3, and 2). Like you, I wasn't in the best shape when I got pregnant and after 3 pregnancies (and 3 c-sections), I have about 80 pounds to lose. I'm mostly stay-at-home. (I'm a per diem nurse and work about 2-4 shifts a month.) I'll send you a request and anyone here can feel free to add me too :-)

    I'm game, most of the people wanting to add friends are women... probably not a good idea for a married man. Anyway iron sharpens iron... add me if you like!

I dont wanna go further than 200 so I decided to change my lifestyle.So glad to meet new friends here who share the same goals. In 3 weeks I already lost 12lbs. I know everything is possible.

    i was a stay at home mom for almost a year after i had my twins, i dropped 120 lbs in a short period of time and have managed to maintain the weight 4 years later. it's a struggle because a box of little debbie's is way easier to eat then preparing your food and counting calories. being here is definitely a step in the right direction and you can do this no problem!

    Good for you! You're well on your way. Inviting friends will only help! I'm constantly amazed how you gals approach this problem. Am thankful for all my friends that have encouraged and helped me along my way. If you still need additional support, feel free to add. Just remember...you CAN do this!

    Hi, I'm mum to a 3 year old boy and a 17 month old girl. I work part time as a secondary school teacher, so I'm on half term at the moment!

    I'm 35 and 5'6 and can fit into a US size 8 now, but mainly 10s. My goal is to drop another 15 or so pounds and get rid of the mummy tummy. I've lost close to 50lbs since my daughter was 2 months old.

    Feel free to add me!
