Hi there,
I am a mum of 3 who desperately wants to shift some weight. I have been large for a few years now and enough is enough. I have got to the stage where I do not like to go out, I would rather stay indoors where nobody can see me. I would very much like a few friends who will help keep me motivated, and I will do the same in return. Thanks.

  • Hi Sindy :) You can add me ... in fact, I just started as well and we could stay connected. I'm a Mom of 2 but they're all grown up now. Still, I need to lose this pregnancy weight LOL

    Peace!

    I was just coming on to see if anyone wanted a cheerleader! I'm a mum of 2, and know how hard it is to get and stay motivated for your health when so many other things are fighting for your focus. Please feel free to add me as a friend!

    added you :) im a mum of 3 too
  • I have two little girls myself and am a stay-at-home mom. Let's help each other stay on track =) I did Weight Watchers a couple of years ago and lost some of the baby weight (and kept every ounce off for over two years! Yay!), but am still a fair way from my goal. It's been hard for me to get motivated again, but this time around I just know that I can do it. I picked up some really great strategies from WW and I'll definitely be keeping those in mind this time as well. For me it's not about how I look or how others see me, but about being healthy and setting a good example of a healthy lifestyle and good self-image for my girls as they grow up.

    Congrats on taking those two most important first steps, choosing a program and looking for support - those are the hardest things to do! If I can give one piece of advice, it's this: all you have to think about is following the program for one day. Stay on plan today, and then tomorrow you can worry about staying on plan tomorrow. Get excited about seeing the end result, but don't think about being on a diet next week, or next month, or next year.
  • hello im kinda new too, and dont have any friends as well. Im a mother of 2. :smile:

    Thank You. Very good advice.
  • Hi sindy, i'm also a mum of 3. 9yrs, 5yrs and 3 yrs. I joined 4 days ago as i need to loose the weight. i have recently gone back to school and i have no friends there. it is very hard to stay motivated but as i find that as long i look ahead and believe that i will get there it helps. Feel free to add me, we all need that support as it is vital to our success.

    Hi Sindy. I have 2 young daughters and am trying to get back to my pre-kids shape. I only joined MFP a few weeks ago but it's helping already. I'll send you a friend request.

    Hi Sindy and Welcome. I am a mom of a 23 year old and still trying to lose the baby weight also. My goal is 50 lbs. We can do this together. Sadie:bigsmile:
  • Hi! Y'all can add me. I'm a mom of 2. I have a 4 yr. old girl and my new addition, my boy, is only 7 weeks old. I definately need to lose my baby belly. I had a c-section (for both kids), and if you've had a section, then you know what I'm talking about. My belly is... well, ridiculously flabby & ugly. Every1 keeps telling me how slim I look. What they don't see is how high I pull my pants up. Anyway, I've been dieting off and on since college - it is an endless battle. I'm dieting right now and only lost 8 lbs. in a month. I wish it was more tho. I'd love some extra encouragement from women who are in the same boat as me. My husband tells me nice things, but sometimes his optimism just kills me. :) I'd like to talk to people who know what I'm going through - the dieting and sticking to a plan but only losing about 1 lb that week, the fact that you can't seem to fit in "me" time let alone exercise time because you're so busy with kids....
    If any of you out there know what I'm talking about, please friend me. I'll be glad to listen & chat & motivate & give advice and opinions on stuff.

    Hi all! I love having new friends on here to help keep me going! I'm a mother of two young boys (3 & 6) so I know how hard it is to find "me" time, but I keep chugging along slowly. I've had some substantial weight loss to date, so if anyone needs help or support, I'm totally there! It's great to be able to feed of each other!

    Feel free to add me and Good luck all in your journeys!!!
  • Hi I'm new to the site and a new mom of a beautiful girl! She's six weeks old. Feel free to add me. I could use someone to talk to as well to keep me on track and maybe some tips on being mommy! Welcome to the site! I love it already!
  • Hi I'm new also and looking for the same motivation you are, add me ; )
