in Introduce Yourself
This is my second attempt at mfp. I deleted my old account and now I have decided to try again. I lost about 10 lbs in the 70 days I used this site but I was only faithful about 20 of those days. I am a stay at home mom taking online classes and I could really use some support to reach my goal and live a healthier life.

    I'm in the same boat; but I'm a working mama. I've lost about 11 lbs. since January 1st, but am having trouble with the weekends! I'm from the south, so food is a huge part of our lives. I'm starting fresh again today!!!! Good Luck, we can do this, I pushed two babies out of my "you-know-what", so what's a little weight loss????? Do you think they make an epideral for weight loss? that would be AWESOME. :)

    I am a stay at home mom who is currently also in school. I started school last June for personal training, just because exercise has been my passion. In my first term right before finals I had my 3rd daughter and was back at school 5 days later to take my finals. It still seems crazy that I did it. Now I am almost done and am sooo excited to be finished. However, I do also want to get a degree in nutrition and I want to start soon.

    I was talking with some of our clients this morning at the gym I work at and telling them that with each baby I do gain a lot of weight, but there was one picture of me-it was taken right after my first born was released from the hospital from a 9 week stay. I was 250lbs. I was shocked to say the least of how big I had gotten and have made it my goal with every pregnancy to get back. We have been doing fat caliper measurements in class each term. Thank goodness for this or I would totally be discouraged, because while I am not doing much loss on the scale, my fat percentage has gone from obese-1 week after baby, to normal range. If you look at my BMI I am about 15 lbs from my normal range. That is why I love doing calipers. I am gaining back all the muscle I let go of.

    These sights work amazing, but only if you are true to yourself and log and put in the work. It is hard, especially being a stay at home mom and going to school. Sometimes at the end of the week, I wonder how I got through it all. We moms are amazing people. I know you can do this. I always tell people-this is your workout, you get out what you put in. I can see you want this, so just put into it how much you want it and I know you will succeed!!!!

    I am also going at this a second time. I lost 76lbs the first go around, but like they say it comes back plus some. Just keep trying if we did it once we can do it again!!!

    You can do this - being at home can be hard (it's easy to munch out of boredom) but it also gives you a great advantage as far as having time to take a walk on a nice day or being able to cook things that take some time. So proud of you for having the spirit to start again :)
