    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!

    I like your ideas of taking things in 10 pund incriments! Often times I set my goals high which can lead to frustration and discouragement. One week at a time! :happy:

    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 everyone! This is such a great thread - so many Moms will all the same challenges. I'm ready to support and cheer everyone on. We all know how hard some days can be!

    My name is Amy and I am a working mom of 3 kiddos, 9, 8 and 5. I started my weight loss journey in mid-Thanksgiving and have already lost 19 lbs. I would like to lose another 60 lbs. I'm doing great on the eating right - not well at all on the exercising portion.

    Please feel free to add me as a friend! I would love to be part of your cheering section and support buddy.
