Hi, I'm a mom of 3, and looking for other moms who have the same woe's. Feeding a family of 5 is hard work especially if
everyone likes different things on their plates and are at different stages of life. With a busy schedule its hard to find time to fit all the right eating habits we should have in a daily routine. I have tried MFP before and it helped me lose 15lbs in the past, unfortunately I gained it back with the birth of my 3rd child. Now I'm back and ready to make it work again. Looking for other moms that know how difficult it is to balance our needs with the needs of our families.

    Hi, I am a mother of two children (a 15yo girl and an 8yo boy). I know exactly how you feel.. It is soooo difficult to balance our needs with the needs of our family, our busy schedules and everything else that having a family brings.

    I have been on MFP for nearly 3 weeks and it has already helped me to lose 3kg/7lbs! (Only 22kg/48lbs to go)!

    Feel free to add me :happy:

    Mom of 3 who was here for 6 months in 2012 and lost over 50 pounds. Then 2013 with a divorce and a move and a new job and starting college again I gained it all back and then some. Starting all over again. I've only been back now for two weeks and would love to welcome new friends!! Please send friend requests if you'd like!

    Hi I've got 2 kids (4 and 6) and work part-time. I appreciate how hard it can be to put yourself first when you're running around after a family. I've lost weight on here before but let things slide when I got under a lot of stress through my job so I'm now fighting back again :flowerforyou:

    Hi! I have three kids, 7, 4 and 1. I know how exhausting it can be to feed them all, plus a somewhat picky husband. I also have to add in a severe dairy allergy for my 7 year old. It can be hard! I had lost 20 lbs from January last year to October and then got caught up in the holidays and didn't go to the gym. I gained it ALL BACK! I waited until now to get serious because we just got back from vacation. I am now ready to get to my goal!

    Hi! I'm a single mom of two boys. I work full-time plus overtime. My boys like to be in sports. I'm taking classes to get my BSN. So I know how hard it is to juggle eating right and exercising with everything else! I tend to put my needs last and it shows. I'm trying to change that. Feel free to add me if you'd like!

    Hi! I'm a mom of two girls (5 &9). I know exactly how you feel...It's hard to make healthy things everyone likes, especially if you are on a tight budget. I have about 30 pounds to lose. I stay home all day, so it's definitely harder for those who work! Add me for a friend if you want :smile:
