Hi Everyone,

I am excited to join MFP and be encouraged by everyone to stay motivated! That is my problem.... I sit all day at the office, have a 15 month old baby girl, and need to make time to exercize and eat healthy meals.

Good luck to you all!:laugh:

    I have the same issues too! I work nights, and have 3 kids, so it is hard, but you have to want to lose weigth bad enough and you will make time!! I've lost a total of 43 lbs so far, and seeing the results is my biggest motivator!! Plus all my wonderful MFP friends are very supportive too:)

    Just remeber you don't need to do your full 30min of work out all at once. If all you get is 10min on a treadmill while your daughter is content, then another 10min walking a mall, then another 10 doing a quick workout video section that is 30 minutes!

    I wish you the best. I know it can be tough. Just hang in there and don't get discouraged.
