I am a new first time mom. I don't much like to excercise and tell myself that I don't have time. I will find time from here on out. I love to eat but unfortunately what I eat stays with me. I am hoping that by putting myself out there(here) that someone will make me accountable for what I have done to myself.

My husband races motorcycles and we want our little one to race so I need to be healthier and lose this weight so I can have the energy to keep up with my little guy.

    Congratulations on your new baby! What a great motivator children can be to lose weight. I'm using my two boys as motivation for me and my weight loss goals too!

    Congratulations on your new baby. My son, 17 months old, is my motivation. Good Luck.

    Welcome. I have been on MFP for almost 4 months. It's the best decision I have made in many years. I have lost weight with diets many times before, but it was never a lifestyle change. This time is different; it's a lifestyle change, not a diet. Good luck on your weight loss journey. Please feel free to add me as a friend; we can help motivate each other.

    I second that one. That's the ONLY way I get any exercise in...Logan LOVES to be outside. You'll hear this alot (I did). If it seem impossible at the beginning, it WILL get better. :) Enjoy --- they grow up fast.
