    Busy working mom to 4 beautiful girls.. I recently decided it was time for me to make a change.. I jumped on the MFP bandwagon in August and I must say that it hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be.. I'm actually enjoying the challenge..

    Feel free to add me..

    Here! I have 5 kids (14), (11), (9), (5) and 10 months. I work full time and have been working out regularly for the past 2 months, but NOT loosing. I know its what I am eating. Its making me crazy. I lost the weight after the first 4, but it seems much tougher this time!

    ..... its tougher because you have had 5 kids! :) I only have two kids...I have no idea how you do it! lol

    I have a son who is 6 months old and I am trying to lose the rest of this baby weight finally!! Cant keep saying I just had a baby that excuse is getting old. I started my diet and going back to the gym on Monday. I have dropped 2 pounds so far and my goal is at least 35 pounds. I am currently 198 the biggest I have ever been in my 5'7 frame. Working full time and being a full time mommy can be a challenge, BUT WE CAN ALL DO THIS!!

    I'm a mom of three - 12, 10 and 9 - and I work full time. My day starts at 5:30 a.m. and doesn't end until my head hits the pillow. I just recently re-started my journey after finally realizing that it's ok to take time to take care of myself. It's only taken 15 years to get to this point lol. It's not easy, but then again, nothing ever is right? Please feel free to add me :)

    Crazy busy mom here, and always looking for great MFP's!! I have 3 kids of my own that live with my boyfriend and I, he has 2 kids that live with us 50% of the time, on top of that I am going through nasty family court drama, and in the middle of a criminal trial with my ex for assault,I also work full-time, 3 of the 5 kids play hockey, my son on rep, and my boyfriend plays hockey as well. Just reading this makes me tired!! So anyone that wants a new friend add me up, I can always use the support and occasional kick in the butt to get moving!!

    Hey there! I work from home and I understand the need for support. My day starts at 5:30 AM and winds down finally around 9:30. I would love to support you if you would do the same in return.

    Hi! I added you. I have a 3 year old (with all her drama) and a 4 month old. I had great success here right before I got pregnant and 9 months later, I had gained all my weight back. So I'm just trying to survive this infancy stage and hopefully get back to working out when my little guy starts sleeping at night. I also work full time as an occupational therapist. My husband is a firefighter and adjuct professor at the local community college as well as works for a local ambulance service. Needless to say, he is not home much to help out. I'm pretty active, log daily and love to watch peoples success. Anyone can feel free to add me:) Good luck with your journey.

    I am a mom, new to MFP, looking for support! I am 5' 8'' and gained 48 lbs with my beautiful baby boy that is now 8 months old! Before that I was obese/overweight- gosh it is hard to say that! Then I was getting so close to a "normal" bmi and found out that I was pregnant. Now I am 195 lbs, still overweight but on my way to healthy. I am finding it so hard to get back on track and get really upset about my weight. But I am resolved to get healthy. I want to learn more about lifting weights to get strong!
    I am a grad student in a science field so I would love to meet others- if any are out there! I am looking for friends on MFP for support, good vibes, and motivation!

    Thanks!
