    Anyone is welcome to add me :)
    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!

    Feel free to add me :)

    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!

    I am actually still pregnant, but my doc has okayed what I'm doing. I am due any day now and have been following an 1800 calorie diet the full term of my pregnancy. So far I've only gained 12 pounds and we are both very healthy! (I gained 30 with my 1st and 31 with my 2nd and was just a few pounds from my goal weight each time I got pregnant... including this time. I told the doc it is hard for me to see the scale go up that much and he recommended the calorie level)
    However, I want to get my weight down to about 175 (my previous goal has been 185. I keep getting soooo close and then pregnant. My hubby and I feel our family is complete, so that shouldn't be happening again. I am really looking forward to delivery to see what my body does and how I can get it back in shape.
    My boys are 6 and 3 and I've got a girlie on the way.

    Add me too! I have 26 lbs to lose and have a 2 1/2 year old and a 8 month old. This is my first day on MFP! I'm good at starting exercising and eating right but always fall off before reaching my goal. I'm looking for friends who are consistent. I would say my daily "need" for chocolate and other sweets is my biggest problem.

    I have a 9yo, 6yo, and a 6 month old. The two big ones are in school all day, which makes it easier to get workouts in.
    I have been doing jillian michaels dvds, watp, and turbo jam along with the elliptical.
    I want to lose about 20-30 lbs. i am nursing right now and loosing very very slowly. It can be really hard to stay motivated but I am just doing it. Getting ready to take the baby on an hour walk, hopefully she will nap.
    Feel free to add me.

    Hi! This is my first time posting to the community, but I've been logging consistently for about three months. I have a 6 year old and a 2 year old. I'm aiming to lose 22 pounds before orthopedic surgery and hopefully another 10 or so after, once I can exercise at a higher intensity again. I find without a lot of exercise I have to stick to the lower end of my calorie allotment to lose anything, so it's hard going. I'm down 11 so far: half way to my first goal.
