in Introduce Yourself
I am 5'4 and started this journey 11 days ago at 249.9 and have lost 7.1 lbs so far! Kids are the most precious blessings ever but they really take their toll on the momma's bodies! I never had a weight issue until I got pregnant with my first child. I now have 3 and need to lose about 100 lbs! WOW I never would have thought I would be this size but I am SO tired of it! If you want to friend me and we can support each other! It is hard to find time to excercise while looking after little one. Mine are 6, 3, and 7 months! We can do this together and Good Luck to everyone!

    I am also a mom looking to lose weight. I have a 9 month old son and he is my world, I want to lose weight so I can be around to watch him grow. I lost 30 pounds a couple years ago, then plateaued before and during my pregnancy. I have been back on track for about 5 1/2 months and have lost 20 pounds. It is hard to work in exercise with kids but you just have to make it a priority. My son loves the child's room at the gym and we are there 6 days a week! If you need any motivation, I am here for you.

    I am a 30(almost 31) mother of four beautiful children. They are ages 12, 8, 5, and 2. A perfect balance with two boys and two girls, and all very much with way more energy than I have. I have roughly 60 pounds to lose, maybe less we will see how it goes and change as needed, but I would love to have that mom connection with my friends. It makes the connection that much more because chances are we have the same challenges that come with being moms. I wish you all the best of luck!!!

    Hi, I am a mom of three and my youngest is now twelve years old so I have no excuse to be carrying around this excess "baby fat" any longer. I need to lose a minimum of 100 pounds, so I plan on being around this website for quite awhile plus longer.

    You can do it! I have 4 boys 12, 9, 8, and 6...I lose 80 pounds a few years back and have gained about 15 back. The biggest thing is make time to exercise any way you can. I used to do DVDs and my youngest would kinda do them with me...it kept him busy while I exercised. Also get all the junk out of the house...no one needs it. I used to keep stuff in the house "for the kids"...but I would end up eating it...you don't need it and neither do the kids. It is a lot of work...but you can do it! Good luck!

    Hi, I am a mother of 5, ages 10-1. I have lost 20 lbs from this site before, and here I am again after my last baby! It seems that whenever I have lost the baby weight, I get pregnant again! Well, no more! I am excited to lose this weight one more time and not get pregnant ever again!

    Its going well, and starting to really happen. As mothers, our bodies are sure put through the ringers! But the most important thing we can do for our kids is to take care of ourselves, and that is what I am doing.

    I'm a granma of 48 that had to start over raising a kid and I love him to death but I don't have the energy he needs because of the excess weight and the history of smoking seems to hinder the exercise and the metabolism. I would like to eat differently for dinner but that means the meals wouldn't be kid friendly.

    I have 3 also. A 10 year old son and daughters, almost 6 and almost 2. We have puppies too, that are under a year as well. Between night work, the kids, and lots of house repairs, it seems very difficult to eat right and find the time exercise, along with finding time to get some sleep. I look forward to the support here and I'm really enjoying how simple it is to log my food.

    HI!
    My name is Kristen! I am mom to a 9 month old baby boy! He is my first! My husband and I are both on a weight loss journey. We both want to lose at least 30lbs. F0r me, my biggest challenge has been that I am still breastfeeding, so I don't want diet and exercise to effect my milk supply, but I determined to lose this weight. I want to be healthy for my son and set a good example for him! I look forward to chatting with all of you!
    Good Luck!

    I am 39 and a mom of two 18 and 14. I have been trying to loose weight on and off for years. I lost the weight after the kids but slowly gained it back over the years. I would love to get under the 200 hundred mark. I am tired of feeling tired all of the time. A co-worker told me about this website this week at work. I just did my first workout on the elliptical. I just hope I can stay with it. I always loose interest.
