Hi, I'm Becca. I'm new to the site. I'm also a stay at home mom and I'm looking for friends to help keep me motivated as much as I would motivate them. I'm in process to lose weight for my son. He is 10 months old and I need to quit making excuses on why I cant lose weight . I need to do it for him.. Its already showing I need to when I get of breath from playing with him or chasing him down when he crawls away or gets into something.. I need to be in better shape where I can play with him. I can see if I dont change what I'm doing I wont get to see him grow up.

    Welcome!
  • I am new too! So let's do this together. I have 6 kids, most of them are grown and gone. But I have 2 little grandkids 4 and 17 months that I can barely keep up with so I can relate!

    I am a SAHM of a toddler & decided to lose weight last year, but gained it all back. Joined MFP again in July & have steadily lost weight. I moved to Owasso, which has helped since there's a ton of walking trails here. You can do this! Anyone feel free to add me!

    Welcome! I am doing it for my kids too although they are in college now. I just want to be around to enjoy life with them for many more years to come. I wish I would have been in control of my food when they were little. NOW I am setting a good example for them of what and how to eat and exercise and they are benefitting from this too. If you can get yourself in gear when they are little, you can set the best example for them and maybe they won't grow up with a weight issue. You can do this for both of you!
