    Hello! my name is Rachel! I'm 21, I have an 8YO fur baby. After my sophomore year in high school I jumped from 130 to 170 and since graduating I've crept up. I've tried dieting in the past but it didn't bother me until I jumped on the scale and realized I was 5 lbs from 200. Definitely a wake-up call for me. Anyways, I love talking and being supportive of others and challenging myself to do better!

    Hi, my name is Kristine, I am 27 years old, I have a 8 year old and a 4 year old. After having my oldest I lost all the weight I gained (which was right around 15 lbs) but then between the birth of my first child and getting pregnant with my second I gained the weight back. I then proceeded to gain another 30 lbs during my pregnancy, which magically melted off two weeks after delivery, But Now that he is 4 I am back to the weight that I was at delivery with him and my highest weight ever. I started with MFP in 2012 and we here for about 6-8 months before stopping, during that time I lost about 15 lbs, but it didn't stay off. So I am restarting again. So don't feel bad you are not alone.

    Starting weight: 303 lbs
    Current weight: 299 lbs
    Goal Weight: 175 - 180 lbs

    Today marks the beginning of my 'getting started again'! I'm 35 and have a just 2YO baby boy and I'm just now getting the get-up-and-go to lose the rest of the baby weight. Before I got pregnant, I lost about 20lbs and weighed less than I had in years. Now, I've got about 12lbs to get to my Pre-preggo weight which is where I'd like to be (or less) before we try for baby #2. Feel free to add me.... I can always use active, motivated friends! :-) Good luck everyone!

    tomorrow is my first day of 'starting over'. I've tried just eating healthy, but I realize I NEED to count my calories, otherwise I go way overboard! I'm pretty short and weight 134 (I have quite the belly). My fiance is away in the army training in florida. In Dec, we're getting married :D and I want to look amazing by then, and want him to notice a change in me in September when I go visit him! I wish you all the best of luck! :D
