Hi everyone! I'm a stay at home, married mom of 3 (twin girls 9 & 13 yo son). I will be 40 in December and must start to lose some major weight with dramatic results the sooner the better- for my mental well being on top of physical. I hope to make some new friends on here & would be great if your in a close vicinity that we could get together!

    Hi Veneicia! I'm a stay at home mum as well, one DS at the moment and expecting another in December. I'm joining because I know I've gained far too much weight in this pregnancy and I'm feeding my unborn son rubbish! Plus I'm far more unfit at 30 weeks pregnant now than I was with DS1, and I only have myself to blame. I've been trying to ignore it, and I don't know what's changed - I woke up this morning no longer feeling sorry for myself!

    Being pregnant, I can't diet hard core, but I can improve my eating habits and move more.

    Thank you for setting up this group :)

    Hi ladies :). I'm Sarah, I lost all of my weight (around 60lbs) before I found this place but am now in the process of building strength and endurance (and a six pack). I have a 7 year old and almost 6 year old triplets, a husband and more than a few furry critters at home. My main goal right now is to run a tough mudder in the summer and to be stronger and faster. I eat Paleo and workout a lot. I'd be happy to chat with anyone about just about anything :).

    I'm Liz. I have a boyfriend, two cats and a job.

    I make beer, and I think that has been part of my undoing. I rarely have time for forums unless I'm slacking at work :)

    Hi, I'm Heather, Joey's wife. :) I'm 36 and the mother of an amazing 4-year-old boy. I'm definitely too fat for the broomstick, but I'm getting there. 55 lbs down. 130 to go.

    Nice to meet y'all.

    Hi. Im trying to lose a combination of water weight and good old fashioned fat. I have developed a heart problem and it seems that both come very easily now. I now have the right diet and medicine so that I can exercise in 10 minute bursts for as long as I want. And I have now started loseing what is obviously water weight b/c I am breathing and sleeping much better. I find myself outside more and feeling my spirit getting stronger every day. I have even begun shooting a crossbow trying to feel a little closer to Diana.

    I am Jessica. I've been a practicing Pagan for almost 15 years. I am a solitary hedgewitch, though my husband is Pagan as well. I want to lose weight before my husband and I get pregnant. I want to be as healthy as I can be for our future pregnancies and children.

    Hi. I am grumpybear :-)
    happy to find/meet fellow pagans.
    i am solitary.
    i have a huge amount of weight to lose and am looking to add positive minded,supportive pagans to my friend list.

    i do have mobility issues and health problems that make it hard to lose weight but i am going to give it a try.
    i have resistamce bands for my chair exercises but will be mostly focusing on eating right.

    Hi I'm raven true, stay at home mom to an 18, 10-year-old and three-year-old I have about 100 pounds to lose and I've had fun walking under the moon, saw the Supermoon recently glad to know y'all are on here. ♓️

    Hello, Raven. The super moon was beautiful. I was in the hospital at the time, but staff was alright with me when I asked to be able to take my bowl of fruit down to the end of the hall to celebrate. It was definitely going by the seat of my pants though - coffee stirrer instead of a wand, styrofoam (sp) cup instead of a chalice and paper with the symbols of the directions done on paper. I was also given a salt packet for purification.

    I don't have any children (just a cat), and I have over a hundred pounds to lose having lost nearly 100.
