Hi everyone. Im a 32 yr old SAHM to 3 young children looking to lose 20 or so pounds. Im tall and not considered overweight but I have alot more fat that muscle. I am hoping to find an online workout buddy so we can keep each other motivated and on the ball. I joined a similar site a few months ago, started counting calories and losing inches just to find that no one would ever reply to my posts and I slowly stopped visiting the site and counting calories. Now I want to get back in the swing of things so I can be confident next summer with a swimsuit on. I hope to make some new friends here.

    Hello and welcome to MFP! Congratulations on your decision to get fit -- that's great! You'll find everyone on this site to be very positive, encouraging and motivating. Feel free to friend request me if you'd like. :)

    Also, if you're on Facebook, please feel free to check out the group I created over there, called Motivation. Many positive, encouraging people over that way, too! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=268180696780&ref=ts

    Best wishes on your fitness journey!

    You can add me :) I am a 24 year old stay at home mom to two. I am looking to lose about 50 pounds but would be happy with 35 as of right now. I was working out for a few months but then I drifted and just got back in about two weeks ago,
