    I have a 3 year old daughter. She just started a program called Wee Injuns our high school has...(it's like a pre-Preschool) . She also goes to a dance class and dances at local festivals. Ever since I quit breastfeeding her the weight has been piling on... I've gained 40-45 lbs in 2 years and I am TIRED OF IT!

    Also, my daughter is big for her age... she is 3 wearing 6 year olds clothes.... I know that you're thinking I need to help my child.. BUT she is big not only in weight but in height also. She is very tall for her age also. So it's hard for me to control her weight when I can't control her weight... So i am hoping by being healthier myself will help her also.

    After being soo busy.. where do you get the time to cook healthy meals and get exercise? In my dreams.. lol..

    But i just got sick and tired of looking at family pictures and feeling ugly when inside there is a beautiful butterfly. So what i did was get rid of the junk.. No sodas and have one cheat day.. then I found a gym that has a baby sitter. No excuses .. Im just struggling with making healthy meals when its so easy to just pick up meals.

    New habits take new change.

    Hi there! I'm a mother of 3 beautiful kids ages 13,10 & 5. Just joined the site and am looking for motivational people. I don't have a lot to lose about 10-15 lbs but would love to have a group to keep me on track. Busy kids with soccer and hockey and an evening job make me reach for those easy, junk foods to keep me going. Anyone out there interested in friending a 30's mom with no willpower?

    I'm a mom to two awesome boys (13 and almost 10), two Great Pyrenees pups (one 11 months old, one 8 weeks - what the hell was I thinking?!), two cats (but they're cats, so I'm not sure they really count - fairly low maintenance), and a hamster (that's what I get for going away on a business trip and leaving the DH in charge, right?) AND managed to lose my "baby fat" after 13 years. If I can lose 70 pounds that have stuck around for over a decade (and get to a pre-pregnancy.... hell, pre- ARMY weight), then anyone can do it. Welcome to MFP - you've got this! :flowerforyou:

    Hello all! I am a working mother of 4 daughters (18, 16, 11 & 7)!

    I've been on MFP since January. I have lost 38 pounds. I have found it hard to keep on my diet at home - I am much more disciplined at work.

    I make time for exercise before work (7am) or at lunch (1pm) depending on my schedule at work. I do, however miss days here and there, but I'm pretty active with my girls at home too!

    Feel free to add me anyone! Us busy Moms have to stick together in this weight loss journey!!

    :flowerforyou:
