Hi mamacitas!

I'd like to lose 25 lbs and I'm looking for moms of little ones with the same weight loss goals to come together. I'm eating healthier and drinking tons more water, but I need to fit in the exercise. It's been so hard for me to find the time, but I now know I just need to make time to exercise.

Anyone out there motivated and ready to lose the last of their baby weight...please join me! Let's help one another!

    Hi. I'd be interested in joining you. I'd like to lose 30 lbs and I have a two year old boy. I've been trying to exercise more, eat better, and drink lots of water. My goal this week has been to drink 8-16 oz of water every time I want a snack and then refocus and see if I'm really/still hungry. I'm ready to lose my baby gut and definitely could use the support!

    Try Thinogenics (all natural) and counting calories. Also, you have to make a lifestyle change. The quickest way to lose is to eat 1500 per day if you are exercising everyday. On the days you don't exercise, eat about 1400. That will get you your weight loss!

    I have a 16 Month old. Ive just started to get back on track a couple months ago. I made myself a priority again. I work out after she goes to bed, run at lunch. and there is a bootcamp 750feet from my house!!
    I attend 3-4 times a week. its an hour.They have classes right after work so my husband picks her up a couple times a week. And I go in the am a couple times before anyone is up!

    feel free to add me :)

    I have a 3 yr old and a 1 year old. I have been taking 30 minutes in the morning and doing the couch to 5k program before my husband leaves for work. On days that I don't run, I take the girls on a bike ride with the trailer, usually they only last 2.5-3miles, or like yesterday my daughter wanted to do the Just Dance 2 for the wii, so i got up and danced with her. It wasnt as sweaty as other exercises, but I still got out of the chair, off my butt and did something with my kids! A friend of mine does the Daily Burn yoga, and ive been contemplating that while the girls take their naps..

    I have a 5-year-old and a 2-1/2-year-old and want to lose about 35 pounds. I'm doing pretty good with the calories, but it's so hard to fit in the working out! I'm in my workout clothes right now, though, so I can hop on our spinner and go to it when the kids go to bed! There's no time like the present to start something new! :)

    I have a 10 month old and I'm aiming for 20-25 lbs loss. I gained a ridiculous amount of weight because I listened to my cravings. I learned my lesson.
    Right now, I'm doing Core Rhythms, and various other dancing DVDS along with my walking. I don't like running because it hurts my knees. I should do it anyway.

    Edit: i'm just starting myfitnesspal but I'm already half way from pregnancy to my pre preg weight. 20 more pounds to go!

    Hola mamacita! My littles are not so little now, but I do remember trying to fit in exercise with them when they were 1 and 4 years old. I would dance with them while there TV show was on and during commercials I would stop and do squats or lift free weights. They loved it and I got a workout too! I also use to run up and down our hall way and have races with them. You can also do lunges in the hall way too.

    Hi! I have a 4 year old and a 4 month old! Both girls! I am hoping to lose 40lbs and get down below what I was pre-baby! I would like to get down to 130 (I was 140 pre first baby). Currently I am doing Insanity, riding 2-3 horse per day, walking constantly while teaching, cleaning stalls, and do minimal running in the ring with my 4 year old and her pony! With all this I better start to see some weight lose! I also cut out all soda and sugar drinks this week and replaced with water (except my morning large hot chocolate!)

    Add me: I have two kids, 6 and 1 1/2, work full time at a pretty demanding (if time flexible) job, work out like a beast, and am majorly overwhelmed. However, I also have been holding on to at least 15 extra pounds since my last one. Unlike a lot of the other moms, eating is more my issue than exercise. I've been keeping the MFP diary religiously for a week, and hopefully some of the weight will start to go but it is SLOW after a baby (or two). So encouragement would help.

    Anyone feel free to add me!! I have a 4 year old, and a 2 year old. It's tough sometimes to find the time to workout, but I've been doing better lately. Sometimes I run when my husband gets home from work, and today I tried day one of the 30 day shred. We'll see how that goes! I also have Insanity and almost made it all the way through back around Christmas, but the second month took a long time and I didn't have a lot of time to spare. I'm a stay at home mom but taking full time college classes online as well. I've been doing great on counting calories.

    Feel free to add me. I"m on everyday. I hit day 300 and am trying to make it to 365!

    Hi, I'd love more friends, especially ones who have similar goals. I have a 15 month old son who is the center of my and thoughts world, which then we sometimes forget about us. I'm currently at 162-163. Want to lose 13 more to get to 150, and then about 10 more from there.

    Anyone is welcome to add for some extra motivation.

    I have very similar goals! I want to lose about 15-25 more lbs! (My ticker reflects my highest weight, when I was pregnant). I will send a request!

    oh, and I forgot to add ... I started walking in Jan, added a zumba class in Feb, and started ds30 in March. It's tough to find time to myself, but I have to make time and put myself first!

    I have a 6yr old, two 17month olds and baby due in 7weeks.
    I log daily. I have 20lbs to lose after baby to be at my old weight and prob will aim for another 10lbs after that. So 30lbs total.
    [I'm not counting pregnancy weight cuz I've only gained 12lbs so far and usually I gain 30 and lose it all after baby or babies are born]

    I have 23 to lose till my first goal. I've lost the 50 I gained while pregnant with my 7.5 month old, but now am working on the weight from quitting smoking before I became pregnant. I am still on mat leave, but will have a demanding job once I return...I can barely fit exercise in now, not sure how this will work once I go back!

    Hi! I have two littles ones and 21 lbs left to lose. I workout in the AM because when I do it in the evening it is too late and I don't have restful sleep. I had to commit to it and I love it. Looking forward to losing with you all.

    I'd be happy to join! I lost the 30lbs I added with my daughter, who is 2, but I'd like to drop another 30.

    Made some changes a couple months ago, the biggest one being cutting out most meat. I still eat chicken soup occasionally and some fish, but that's it. It's made a HUGE difference in being able to stick to my calorie limit, as well as forced me to experiment and get more fruits and veggies in myself.

    I'm currently on day 14 of the 30 Day Shred, which I do during my daughter's nap. My goal is to have the rest of the weight off by Christmas, so I'm not trying to rush myself. I'm a snacker, so my focus is on eating small meals more often, and keeping myself busy so I don't snack.

    I'll be having baby #2 in about 2 months and then I'll be in the same boat--hoping to lose baby weight and a few extra pounds!

    Hi, I'm a Mum to 4 kids, ages 19, 17, 10, and almost 2. My oldest is in college and has already moved away and my 2nd oldest is moving in September. So far I've lost 10 lbs and have 30 more to go hopefully! I find time to exercise when my baby naps and we go for walks with her carriage when the weather is good. She hates it when I work out to a video or wii dancing because I'm not totally focused on her so I don't do it as much as I want to! I'd love to have some friends who also have small kids and babies!

    I have a 4 and 8 year old.
    I started losing weight about 2.5-3 years ago.

    I still have about 10-15# I would like to lose, but am trying to focus on reducing body fat and building muscle so I might not reach that number.

    Hello! I have a 4 year old and an 18 month old and I need to finish off the last 15 pounds that I would like to lose.
    I started here more than a year ago now and have gone through phases of being able to lose the weight and stick to it and then fading off and letting things run away from me and not putting in the effort!
    Please feel free to add me!
    I'm always looking for new tips and tricks!
