    Hi there!

    I work from home doing child care & have my own 4yr old home with me. I started out at 295lbs in Feb of this year on day 1 & currently am at 211lbs, I still have approx 61lbs to go but you are welcome to add me. I log in daily, haven't missed a day yet. I also write a blog since the start. Add me if you want & good luck on your journey :-)
  • Hiya,

    You might want to start a group as I joined a group "50Ilbs to Lose" (even though I had more than that to lose) and since joining 11 weeks ago, I've lost more than 2 Ilbs and I give credit to the support from people in that group.

    Good luck

    I'm a stay at home mom to two girls (3.5 and almost 2). Joined MFP and started exercising January 2, 2013 weighing in at 290. Set a goal of losing 100 lbs in a year. Have passed that goal and am aiming to get down to at least 160 and in to my ideal weight range (am at 183 as of last weigh in). Feel free to add me. I'm not super active in the forums but I log and exercise every day.
  • I'm looking to lose 169lbs and started here mid August. I log every day so have sent you a friend request. I'm not a stay at home mum but I am a mum! I just work part time so 2.5 fays a week. Good luck on your journey, most people here are really great. I've also joined a group called the get fit chicks for women with over 100lbs to lose, some lovely people on there if you want to join us feel free xx

    Hi, I'm Dee. I''m just under 300 pounds and still have quite a bit to go but I am making slow progress. I'm a stay at home mom even though my "baby" is almost 16. I log in every day and try to support others if I can. I can always use another buddy to go through this journey so feel free to add me if you'd like. Good luck on your journey if you choose not to add me.

    Well I'm not a stay at home mom, or a mom at all, but I do have 100+ lbs to lose, and I'd love to be friends and help motivate each other!
  • Hi feel free to add me. I've lost 70llb+ so far another 120llb to go. But will get there by next xmas I hope.. You can do it. This app really helps me stick to exercise and diet. The thought people might see if I've made poor choices puts me right off.

    You look awesome. My highest weight was 4 lbs less than yours. I lost 110 lbs and have gained some back, so I'm kinda doing it all over again. Ack.

    Hi. Go to my profile and add me if you want. I am planning on losing 150 pounds more.
  • I got close. Highest was 293. I signed up here in Jan 2013 at 288 but didn't do anything with it. Got serious about it June 14th & started logging and haven't looked back since. As you can see it works & I wanna be like those with tickers showing triple digit loses! :laugh: Set a goal to get down to 180 but thinking I'll continue on to 150ish. We'll see. Anyone's free to add me. I'm here everyday. I don't bash & I try to say something to everyone. :flowerforyou:

    Oh, and I'm a mom of 4 with a wonderful hubby & full time job babysitting adults (Or at least their of legal age!)
