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!

    Hello! I am a busy mom with up to 100 lbs to lose as well. Add me if you'd like! My first goal is to lose 50...then we'll keep going. I only have 30 minutes a day to workout, so I have to make the most of my time. Welcome, and good luck!

    I'm a SAHM of 2 girls. I want to loose 50 to 75 pounds and do it right. I've lost 50 pounds before only to get pregnant again. Good luck. Hopefully we can help each other out.

    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 also have 100 pounds to lose. It will be a long journey but the rewards will be worth it! That's what I have to focus on...how much healthier I'll feel.

    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 :)
