in Introduce Yourself
Hi there, just wanted to quickly introduce myself. I'm a wife and mum of 3 wanting to lose weight. I work full-time so finding time to exercise can be a little challenging with the juggle of kids, life, work etc. I've only ever been on one diet before (Weight Watchers) and did quite well but this was just before my first child was born. Then another child and then another child and now my weight has crept up on me. I need to probably lose about 14kgs (approx 30 pounds) to be at my goal weight. I thought i'd give this a go just to see if I can do this on my own first. I really hope I can do this.

I would love to hear of others who have successfully lost weight through this tracking system. Looking forward to getting to know you all too and supporting you through your journey. :)

    Welcome to MFP! I think this site is terrific. I have consistently lost weight using this site, even during a 4 month period when I was unable to go to the gym due to the health problems of one of my children. You will do great here.:happy:

    Hi I'm another working mum from Oz (Sydney). I have to get serious about my diet and exercise and lose 12 kilos. I find it hard to get the work/life balance right. So, I'm starting here. ; with focus, determination and motivation.
