Hey there! I am starting MFP, again, and hope to be more successful this time!

I am happily married SAHM with 3 cute kids. I just turned 40 and desperately want to have a BMI within normal/healthy range. Plus i want to look cute for my husband!

I need to lose about 50lbs!!! I got here by having no will power and zero discipline ~ i really want to change that and I'm honestly not sure how, but I'm willing to try. If you can relate (or you are a great motivator who wants to take me on as your next project), friend me :-)

    Welcome! I just joined, too, though I've been on my weight loss journey for two years. I've made little changes, a little at a time. Is there one little change you can start making tomorrow to get you started? Feel free to add me as your friend.

    Hi! I'm a 45 yo mom of 3 - I was a SAHM until a few years ago, now work part time. I know what a struggle it can be to be home with the kids at "snack time" and indulge. My days at work are so much easier because I pack healthy foods and that's my only option....there's no picking at my kids' plates :-) or eating every time they eat. Add me as a friend if you'd like!

    I'm a single mom with a full-time job, but until a little over a year ago I was a SAHM and lost 45 lbs while doing it. Feel free to add me if you're interested. I'd be happy to tell you how I did it, controlled what I ate without going crazy and found the time to workout.
