I just turned 33 on January 2. I have three beautiful kiddos and I REALLY need to lose 80-100 pounds. I weigh 229 right now. I would LOVE to get down to 145...but honestly, I would be happy with 160 right now!! I need some buddies!! Some motivational support!!
It is killing me to see my beautiful 13 year old daughter already worried about her weight already
I know it is my fault from always worrying about mine. She saw that and it bothers me. But, hind sight is 20/20 and she and I are trying to take the time together to get fit. I am really trying to encourage healthy habits with our whole family. It is really hard at times!! They are kids, after all, and they like some stuff that isn't always the best for them. Actually, I do, too!!
Anyhoo, would love to do some sort of challenge!!

I am pushing 34 and the mother of 3 teenagers! I have about 100 more pounds to lose. I have a 14 year old daughter and I know exactly what you mean! I also have a 6 year old cousin who refused to eat all of her dinner in case there were too many calories. It's crazy how much we indirectly influence them!
I am going to send you a friend request. If you are up for some mutual motivation then accept. Regardless, good luck!0 -
I am 32 with a 10 year old and three teenage step children. I really do know what you all mean and can really relate. I have never been a 'normal' weight in my life and have come the conclusion that I will never be 'skinny' but I do want to be fit and healthy. Hopefully this year will be my year to do this!0

I'm a 35 year old mother of two (11 and 6). I'd love to be friends and support each other. I started at 225 a while ago, but didn't join this until I was down to 195. I would love to lose 60-70 more, but will stick with 20 for now. Baby steps for me! I'd love the support and to help you all as well!0

Ladies I want you all to know you can do it!!! I was 223 and am down to 185! If you need extra motivation and want to join a challenge here is the detials on my challenge.
If you are interested in extra motivation and support II would love to have you join in the challenge. Its a facebook group called Healthy n' Fit 2013! Its private and its all girls, and just because you join the group doesn't mean myself or anyone else in the group can see your regular facebook page. Its completely secure. Its going to be a challenge that you set your own goals and you post sweaty mug shots after your workout. Again completely private, so no one on your regular facebook can see your sweaty mug shots! That worried me at first because no way I wanted my friends to see me all sweaty, but they can't! You don't have to post your pics if you don't want to, just do as much as you want! Its all about you and the new year new you! The link is http://www.facebook.com/groups/389745054448223/ just request to be added and I will approve you.0 -

I am a 34 year old mother to two girls (3 and 5). My goal is to lose 80 pounds. I'm nearly half way there.0

I am also 33 years old and a single mother of two boys. I have lost weight and gained it back so many times, when it comes to keeping the weight off that I have lost I'm not too successful with that. Also I have to have willpower not to eat the foods that my kids eat. They're boys so they can take in more calories and burn it off easier than I can. I have made some adjustments to their diet also, but still I can't eat everything that they eat. It's hard! I am praying that joining MyFitnessPal will help me be more disciplined with my eating and exercise habits! I'm just blessed with this one life and I am healthy, I would like to stay that way for a long time!0

I am 37 and have an almost 3 year old son and am 6 months pregnant with my second Before I got pregnant with my son, I had lost a total of 120 pounds and had kept it off for over 10 years. After he was born, I lost all the baby weight in 6 months but badly needed to tone back up again. Just as I got that accomplished, I got pregnant with #2 here and as much as I have tried to keep up with my fitness, it hasn't been my #1 priority as much. I know what it is like to be in that place where the numbers on the scale look so big and I'd love to be a source of motivation for you. 120 pounds gone and gone for over 10 years now...I KNOW I have beaten the "weight monster" 0

I just turned 34 in November, and just recently moved 900 miles away from my home. The move has added an entire new layer of stress that never encountered before; consequently with the move came added pounds. I already needed to slim down and tone up and the move added even more poundage. But now no more excuses! I have 2 boys 5 & 7, who are are incredibly active. I have about 50 lbs to lose, but shooting for 30 to begin with. I'd like to be noticeably smaller by the time I go back home for spring break! Let's do this!0

Hello! I'm 35 and mum to a gorgeous 3.5 year old son and 19 month old daughter.
I piled on the weight when I was pregnant with my daughter (they say girls steal your beauty...I want it back now please :laugh: ).
I started back exercising when she was 7 weeks old and have lost 55lbs since then. I now weigh 164 and my aim is around 150, possibly lower. I'm 5'6".
Feel free to add me.0 -
Almost 35 and mom of 2 young kiddos (4 and 7). Feel free to add me as I try to reach this last goal and achieve maintenance once and for all without failing.0

I am 37 years old and I have 7 kiddos. (12 year old twins, 11 year old daughter, 9 year old son, 7 year old daughter, 4 year old daughter and our baby... 3 year old son.) and although I am not the heaviest I have ever been, I am very overweight. I'm making my weight loss and HEALTH a priority now. I want to be here for them, for a long time. They have seen me lose weight, gain it back, lose it again, and gain it back, so many times. I am determined now that they will see me lose it and keep it off!! I try not to talk about my weight much anymore. I want health and happiness to be the focus they see. I'm making the changes that I know I need to so that this is a way of life, not only for me, but for them as well. I want to set a healthy example. I would hate for any of my children to struggle with weight the way that I have. It would break my heart.
If anyone would like to add me as a friend, that would be great. I could use the support and I will be there to give support! 0 -
