Hello all! New here and trying to get back into the swing of things. I have a toddler and still have only lost 25 lbs. of the baby weight lost. Now to lose the other 40 or so pounds! ;) I am hopeful that this sight will help me track what I'm eating and motivate me to continue. I know I've had trouble doing it on my own! thanks in advance for all your support! I too am the only one who will be "dieting" in my family! I'm also going to try to get in enough shape to do the 5k I signed up for!

    Welcome......this is a great site for tracking your calories/food/exercise and "making friends." You will find lots of support here and can use ideas and recipes from others to lead a healthy lifestyle.

    Me too also trying to lose the baby weight, have managed to lose the weight that i put on with my latest who is now 11months but its the first two i'm now trying to lose. Also doing a 10k in June so training for that. This site is great for tracking what you eat and can add in exercise too.

    Starting weight Jan 2011 - 215 pounds
    current weight Mar 2011 - 190.6 pounds

    losing weight after having kids seems to be a big topic...... I'm on that boat too, lol!!!!! I have 2 kids, age 6 and 4 and I'm still trying to get rid of their "beds", ha ha!!!!! My goal is my pre-pregnancy weight........ wich is 40 pounds away...... my struggle is mostly energy--- after taking care of two kids all day I'm totaly drained during workout time..... and then i snack on whatever their eating, lol!!!!! But this 40 lbs. WILL finally be gone!!! I've made a promise to myself!!!!!!!
