New Mommy friends :)

Hi everyone. I'm on my journey of shedding this unwanted weight and meeting some great people along the way. I'm 29. I'll be 30 in two weeks and have an almost 8 month old baby boy. I have my own purse and accessory business from home so I'm at home a lot with the baby. I'm looking for some SAHM who are on their journey as well and are wanting to be motivators and support each other. Please don't add me if you'll accept the request and then we never speak. I don't mean to come off as rude, but I'm going at this hardcore and would LOVE to be friends with people in similar situations or at least who are supportive and active on MFP!! :)

My goal is to loose 50lbs overall. I take Zumba classes and exercises regularly at the gym and at home. :)

Thank you for taking the time to read and hope everyone is having a great day! Please help me help myself! :)

  • I'm not a new mummy any more as my baby turned 2 on Tuesday but I'll happily be your friend. You can see my progress on my profile picture. I put weight on in the year after my son was born and not as a result of pregnancy. I'm 26 in little over a week and from the UK. I'm also a SAHM.

    I will add you! I've been on this for a few weeks and its been doable...although i wish I could see results faster =) I need encouragement too! My son is 18 mos. and i'm a SAHM too- i love being a SAHM and i think in some ways it makes losing and calculating a little easier. Keep up the good work!

    I'm not sure if I classify as a 'new Mommy'! :bigsmile: I have 2 kids (both girls) aged almost 3 1/2 and my baby turns 1 on Tuesday!! I've almost made it to the end of my weight loss efforts, I've so far lost 17.3kg which is 38lbs and have around 2.5kg to go (about 5.5lbs). My biggest dream is to continue to be a SAHM but sadly the universe seems to be conspiring against me and I'm going back to work mid July (I'm a high school teacher). Oh yeah, I'm also not actually a Mommy, I'm a Mummy :wink: but it means the same thing!! Feel free to add me if you like!

    I'm a 25 year old SAHM of 3, one 4 year old and two 18 month old girls. I just started working out after a year of an "excercise break" after getting out of the Marine Corps. Feel free to add me! I need all the motivation I can get! :)

    I guess I'm the old mummy here, at 38! My twin boys are 18 months, and despite having to chase and scoop up 25lbs under each arm like footballs, I still need regular exercise.

    My biggest problem is still resisting dumb choices, like chocolate binges when I have some alone time, or drive-thru fast food when I'm by myself running errands.

    Feel free to add me for support or chat!
  • Hello, I just signed up and am looking for friends from anywhere. I am a mommy of one, a little girl named Trinity and she is 3 and a half. I work 3 jobs, I sell Mary Kay Makeup and Cosmetics, I work for the clean team, and I work at Zehrs :)

    The drive thru while running errands is a hard one for me too. I try to remember to bring snacks. I often forget but I've been making myself wait until I get home if I do.
