    hi! i'm a mom with 4 kids (5, 7, 9 in 2 weeks and 10). i have about 50 pounds to lose still (i think, will know better when i get closer). i started exercising a little 2 months ago, but about 2 1/2 weeks ago i started REALLY paying attention to what i'm doing. so, i'm just a few weeks ahead of you. i can ALREADY play more with the kids! i went down a slide, did a teeter totter, and walked on a balance beam yesterday!

    you can do this and it WILL change your mothering for the better!

    I have two boys, 19 months and 3 years. I live in Italy so they eat lllots of pasta and ice-cream.... which I need to keep my hands off most of the time! I've still got about 40 lbs/20kg to lose. They eat a healthy diet but they're growing kids so need plenty of carbs, we have different needs. I have to keep on my toes to make sure we all get what we need without me ballooning... or spending half the day preparing food!

    My diary is open to friends - any of you look to share ideas and encouragement feel free to add.

    Hey I just joined here and I am also a mom of three (9, 13 & 15). Would love to join up with some others to stay motivated. I previously lost 65lbs by walking and cutting down on the junk food I was earing but found myself stalled out so decided to try MFP to get motivated to work harder. I have atleast another 40lbs to go to be at a healthy weight.

    I will add you...if i can figure out how. Lol

    Nice to meet you everyone! And good luck on your journeys!

    I'm a bonus mom to an 8 year old boy and 17 year old girl so I need a little motivation as well. We plan on trying to have our own children too so I figure that I will try to get this healthy habit started and hopefully continue. Thankfully the 8 year old wants to eat healthy. :)

    Our favorite breakfast is pumpkin banana paleo pancakes. He asks for them all the time.

    Hi I'm a mom of a beautiful 13 month old baby girl whom I am still breastfeeding. I could really use some support as well. I just started out and need to stay motivated so we can try for #2. Feel free to add me anyone and I will do the same.

    First time mom here! My bundle of joy (or terror depending on the mood he's in) is almost 17 months old. I had actually lost 60lbs prior to getting pregnant which is probably why I was able to conceive. I am back because I miss my pre-baby body and I was so close to getting to my goal of being out of the 200's. It's seems harder this time around. Probably because I'm always so tired chasing after my son. But, no matter what I am back full force!! Stay strong and stay positive. We are all with you!

    Feel free to add me. I am also semi-tracking my workouts on instagram. Look me up cczap80

    Hi im a mom of a 4 mo. Old, 6 yo, and 11 going on 12 yo. I have a lot to lose so hopefully I can keep this up. I need friends too I haven't got any. Not in real life either. Wish I had a buddy to walk with and exercise with. Anyway I don't know how this add thing works as I am new to mfp and ive never done anything like it before.

    I'm a mom of a two month old and a 16 month old. I'm trying to get back to my prebaby shape as well. It's not too hard to stay on track now but I'm looking for motivation and support especially when I go back to work next month and things get very hectic.

    Mom here too! My son is turning 1 year old in a week. Time flies!

    I tried Weight Watchers approx. 3 years ago and lost about 60 pounds with it, but they changed their points system and I "rage-quit," and of course all that weight came back! Luckily I had gestational diabetes while I was pregnant so it practically forced me to eat healthy, and I was glad for it! Of course after my son was born the diabetes went away and I pigged out. ;) So here I am, looking to lose weight again!

    Feel free to add me! I could use some friends & encouragement. :)
