    Hi Jenn! I am 30, mother to 2 toddlers as well, and you can do it!

    In January 2009 I was at my highest weight of 220 after giving birth to my son the previous September. I was miserable and finally ready to do it the right way to get healthy. I have lost weight and tried exercising in the past, but it never last more than a few months. Now, 2 years later, I am 70lbs down and my children and I love doing activities together and being active. They keep me motivated b/c they are outdoor lovers and have tons of energy. They never sit still, so I don't either.

    I have a few lbs left to lose, so we can do this together! :)

    I am a mother of 2, 3 and 6 year old. I have tried diets in the past, but they did not last long. I started yesterday and I am very determined to loose the weight this time. I need to loose around 60 pounds.

    I'm also a mom of 2. :) 2 boys....6 and 4 and they are ACTIVE! They are part of the reason I am working on this lifestyle change. I need to be able to keep up with them and I want them to see that being active is more fun then watching TV or playing video games. My amazing husband is another reason, but ultimately this decision was about ME. Finally taking the time to do what is best for me and putting myself and the top of my priorities. I'm a working mom and stay pretty busy, but this site as seriously helped change the way I think about health and fitness and has made the changes I have already made SO much easier. The support is amazing!!! I'd be happy to help support any of you in anyway that I can and I can always use more support. :happy: Feel free to friend me if you want.

    Heya... I'm a mother of 2.... Rowan is 4 and Juniper is 2... I have SO much weight to lose it seems daunting.... but I've seen sooo many people do it and do it slowly and do it right. I figure a loss is a loss is a loss.... so I'm cool with being friends with whomever!!! You can never have too much support, right???

    I am a mother of two also. I have a 14yo son and a 12 yo daughter. My kids are more indepenent now. I also work full time night shift as a nurse. (Granted full time is only 3 days a week) I probably have a lot more free time than most people but I still have a hard time getting motivated. I really love this site. It's great for motivation and encouragement.
