Mom of two !

Hi Mariam! Welcome to MFP! You will find that this website will help you stay accountable and in control! I've been using it for about 2 yrs now and love it! It's also great that it's available as an app on the droid phones too!

I just turned 33 and for my 30th b-day I too decided to make a change for the better! I gradually started working out and started losing weight. Then, I found Beachbody. I don't know if you're familiar with their products such as P90X, Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Abs etc. But, like you, before I gained the weight, I used to be a gym rat! I knew I had it in me, it was just a matter of reall sticking with it this time! It has completely changed my life! I've done many of the programs and they work!

Congrats on your two children! I have two kids of my own and stay at home as well; that alone will keep you busy but you need to make sure you take time for yourself as well. Because in order for you to take care of them, you've got to take care of yourself! I learned that myself going through my journey. I still have a little ways to go until I reach my goal but everyday will move you closer and closer!

You can do anything you set your mind to and you'll find lots of support and motivation on this site! If you ever want to chat or just vent, feel free to message me!

In the meantime, check out my sites for more info on Beachbody and how it's changing people's lives! Hope you have a great day!

I'm new as well. I'm 36 years old and have two boys that are 16 months apart. My oldest is 2 years old and my youngest is 10 months. Since turning 30, it's been a struggle to lose weight. I'm also a stay at home mom now and just joined the Y last week. I'm on a mission to lose 30 pounds. I'm here if you want to be weight lost buddies. It always helps to have someone along with you on this journey. Good luck to you!!!

Well Girls, I've got you both beat. I have two boys that are 11 months and 10 days apart. My oldest was born in January 2009 and my youngest was born December 2009. It is really hard to work out with two babies at home - the only time I've found is first thing in the morning. But it is nice that it is done and out of the way before I even eat breakfast. I don't have much left to lose and it feels so good to take my kids out in the evenings when I get off of work (I have to work FT, unfortunately). Best of luck and feel free to friends me or check out my food diary. Stay honest with yourself (about calories consumed) and the weight will just fall off if you eat under your calorie allowance for the day.
Hope you enjoy MFP!

Hi....I just joined today also. Hopefully this will help me to lose weight. I lost 90 lbs 3 years ago with a doctor who gives shots and medication and have gained more than half back. Sometimes I wish I would have never lost the weight. But.....I am going to do it the right way this time..............:-]
