in Introduce Yourself
I have to realize that I am a very poor example for my kids in my eating habits and my activity level. I have two little girls that look up to me and I am letting them down. Well no longer. I have a lot of weight to lose and I am ready to get it done. I have bought me a new pair of running shoes. I am going home this evening to clean out the cabinets. I am psyched about getting this started. I want to keep this motivation up for a good while. I am looking for any type of support I can get.

    You have three beautiful reasons for getting healthy, your girls and yourself. It will get tough sometimes, but you are tougher. And remember the support system is here, just tap into it. Welcome to MFP!

    I feel where you are coming from. I have 2 teenage sons that want to be a firefighter and a cop like their ole man used to be and my previous eating and activity examples were beyond poor. Always looking for new friend to support and motivate and vice-versa :happy:

    Welcome, sounds like you got the motivation you need to get started and stay with it. MFP has been a great resource for me on my jouney to be a more active mother. I want to be the mom on the slide with my kids not on the park bench watching!!! Keep it up and lean on others when needed, you will do GREAT things:smile:

    Hello there,
    Okay so let me tell you one thing that being on here daily and having friends really helps...I tried doing it without friends it just didn't work...we are social animals and need support as much as we can get...the support and just the daily "like" really is encouraging puts a smile on your face... YOU CAN DO THIS!

    I understand where you're coming from! My 3 year old son is my inspiration to get up and keep moving every day. He's a naturally active boy and he deserves a mama who can keep up with him (and give him a little competition once in a while... just to keep him interested, of course. :laugh: ).

    Best of luck! You can do it!
