in Introduce Yourself
Hi all, I'm a 35yo mother of a 3yo boy and 11 month old girl, and I am tired of being unhealthy and unable to fully participate in life. As of May 1st of this year, I started taking charge of my diet and I am feeling better than I have in a long time. I have about 75 lbs left to lose and I'm now trying to establish some good exercise habits like c25k and some strength training.

I would love to have some more friends along for this ride. Feel free to add me. Thanks

    Thanks all, requests have been sent.

    grvirgilio-great question about the other stats that make up your calories, like sugar, fat, etc, I think I first just tried to make the calorie goal and once I was good with that I moved on to look at what those calories are made of. Read up on macros as there are several different ways you can go about it depending on what your goals are.

    I think it's great that you are working toward this goal while your children are still so very young. For them, this will be a lifestyle, not a diet. Way to go! If you feel you need motivation, feel free to add me. I am a single mother of 2 and a a full time teacher (HS). I will need help keeping motivated in the school year because I will lose the ability to just pick up and exercise on a whim. I am not currently really trying to lose weight; however, if I lost about 10 pounds, I'd be ok with that.

    Would love to have some motivation too! I am a mother of a 7 year old and 5 year old. I was 30 lbs lighter this time last year. Very disappointed in my regression and need to get back on track!
