Mom of 3 looking for moms who need to lose weight!

I am a mother of 2 little girls. Their ages are 3 and 2. I want to lose weight so that I am a good role model for them. Eating right and working out are the first two steps of that process. For 2 weeks I was on a role! I did great! I hosted out of town guests this weekend, which set me back a little bit. I am trying not to be discouraged so I will move forward. Having a social life is difficult with this mental change. Whether it be birthday parties, friends get together, staff parties, whatever! I look forward to getting back on track so I can lose my additional 39 pounds. I lost 6 so far!

Hi! I understand where you are coming from! I am a mom of 2 ages 8 and 5, and I am so tired of being overweight.. i need to lost @ 60lbs, and find that to be so overwhelming.. one day at at time though! we can do this!

Mom of 2 girls: 2 and 7 years old. I have about 75 pounds to lose as well. I started this journey about a week ago and soooo love this site. You really don't realize what you are taking in until you track it all. Feel free to put me on your friend list. I would love another motivator!!!!

welcome aboard. my name is michelle. i'm also a mother of 3. (13, 5 1/2 and 11 month) and i'm done. yes i can totally agree with you. i never felt so hidden in my own body. the turning point for me was when i saw "love handles" in my back and also the two digit pant size. so my sister who is also my best friend and coach introduced me to this website. so far i have lost 5lbs. i still have at least 50 more lbs to shed. so dear friend, dont worry, everyone who joins this site have the same thing in common so support will soon rain on you. :-)

Hello everyone I am a mom of 2. My oldest is a girl and is 12 and my youngest is a boy and he is 19 months. Yes! 10 1/2 years apart. I also have Lupus and I have set a goal to lose about 70 lbs. Before having my son I had lost 90 but kept about 45 lbs after the pregnancy. Together we can all do it.

I have 2 children, 15 & 13, and have about 50 pounds to lose. I don't blame the pregnancies anymore but am very busy working full-time and being a taxi to my boys. I lack the motivation to exercise after a busy day and hope this site (and some friends) will give me the encouragement I need. Let's do this!!!

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!

Welcome, I started around that same time so this is pretty new to me also. I'm a mom & stepmom to 2, 13yr old girls and a I have a 5yr old daughter. I'd had surgery in Aug last year and a few other surgeries in the past that make it really hard to trim the tummy back up! Then add that I just turned 40 & a low thyroid that works against you when trying to lose weight and it makes it just that much harder. BUT, I'm getting married this June so I'm determined to look good in my dress and on my honeymoon!! We are going somewhere beautiful and I don't want to be embarrassed to put on that bathing suit!
Good luck to you. I sent a friend request.

Hi all I am a first time mum in the uk to a 3m old baby girl. I put on 42lbs whilst pregnant and so far I've lost 24lbs (3 of which lost since I joined this) would love a few other mums on my friends list to motivate so pls add me!

Thanks
