in Introduce Yourself
I'm looking for friends in a similar situation or have had success in this situation and can be a great encourager. I'll encourage you too! I'm a stay at home Mom of 3 little girls and I have just started with MFP 3 days ago. I have 100 lbs to lose and I plan to do this slow and steady with 30 mins of exercise a day and MFP recommended calories. I know this will take me over a year.

I have a great sense of humour and am a great encourager. I'd also welcome anyone who's no nonsense and can call me on it when I'm not being accountable!

    I'm not a birth mom, but I have custody of my two Godsons (4years old and 4months) and I'm trying to lose 100 pounds too! I've lost 4 pounds since starting in mid October just by adding 30 mins of cardio a day and tracking/consuming the calorie goal thru mfp. I'm looking for friends as well if you'd like to add me :)

    I hope I'm on the right board. :) I want to lose about 195lbs... It will take me a while, but I'm determined with support from other women like you all! I don't want to get discouraged.. I'm looking for buddies that will help me stay motivated and give me ideas on foods that are easy to make, but also satisfying... Send me a message! I will help you stay motivated too so we can do this together!

    I don't have much to lose and in fact I am at the part of my journey where I care less about the scale and more about trying to shrink measurements. I want to congratulate you for taking the steps to get healthy. Finding supportive pals on here has helped me so much. I love to encourage and support my pals on here and anyone can feel free to add me.

    Hi!

    I am a new mom, with a 6 month old. I have 75 lbs that I want to lose. Thank you for already adding me.

    I started my account with MFP in June 2013 but didn't actually start until this past Monday. I am keeping within my recommended calories and doing 30 Day Shred because like most of you I only have 30 mins a day to work out. I would love to add some of you other mom's out there so we can support each other. You can never have to much support :)

    Proud of you for taking the first step! MFP has been a total game changer for me. I have done pretty good so far I want to lose a total if 150lbs. best advice is no matter what or how bad you might slip up LOG EVERYTHING! there have been days I have really gone over but Loging and posting on Facebook has kept me acountable and encouraged.
