    @snaps27 no I haven't tried any fasting diets I think I would be starving I'll give my calorie deficit diet at least a couple more weeks. But if no results then I will probably be looking into some sort of fasting diet.

    hey everyone feel free to add me :) im 24 with DS 3 and DD 7 I have only got about 10lbs to lose but I don't concentrate on the scales anymore go by pictures and measurements at the moment I weight train with cardio 6 days a week.

    @lauramegan28 I did the 5;2 diet for a few months lost nothing but tryed going low carb and it was really good for me I lost 8lbs in 2 weeks but I couldn't live like it forever so now keep my carbs under 100 instead of 20.

    Hi! I am 39, have 4 and 2 year-old kiddos and a husband who travels a lot. I did quite well last year and have completely fallen off these last 4 months. It was hard to go from being so focused for 9 months and then realize just how much I can get done when I don't prioritize my eating and exercising. For me, the food follows the exercise, so I know I just need to get moving again. I would love just a couple friends on here to help with mutual support. I started in the 190's (5'6") last September, was down to lower 150's last May and now back to 181 today. Hoping being here helps.

    Hi my name is Heidi. I live in Cape Town, South Africa.
    I'm a SAHM to a 7 year old son, and a 4 year old daughter.
    My husband works away from home, and is only home for 25% of the year.
    I gained my weight during my pregnancies as I ate far too much.
    I was at 60kg (132lb) when I fell pregnant with my son, and when I gave birth to my daughter I was 102kg (224lb)
    I'm now at 79kg (174lb)and I desperately want to be under 65kg 143lb)
    Please feel free to add me .

    Hi everyone. I am 33 years old living in the Kansas City area. I am a first-time working mom to an almost 8mo old little girl. I was overweight starting out at the pregnancy and most of my baby weight has come off which means I'm back to my original weight at 207lbs. I am trying to reach my goal weight of 150lbs, which I haven't been at that since college. Feel free to add me for support!

    Hi ladies, I'm mum to 2 teenage daughters (13 and 15) and a 3 year old monster who is my boy!

    Please feel free to add me. I've gained 12lbs in the last few months... ouch! So i'm here to try, not only to lose the weight i've gained, but to get a bit healthier longer term.

    Trying to juggle, work, kids, house etc leaves me very little time to myself! It's really not easy trying to get healthy when everyone else in the house is not dieting or being healthy!

    Hi I am 43 yo single mom to two beautiful fully energize little ones. A 4 yr old girl and 5 yr old boy(my nephew whom I adopted). I was laid off my job of 14 yrs in Sept. 2013 and started temping in June 2014 in a office desk job. So I get no exercise at all at work.
    I gained 77 lbs during my pregnancy with my daughter and haven't been able to loose them. So yesterday I made the decision to make this my year, so I rejoined MFP, dusted off my work out dvds and brought a Fitbit. Let the journey begin. :D

    Hi everyone! I'm a 40-yr old mom to a beautiful 5 year old boy and working full-time -- I'm so happy to find a group like this!! I can't seem to find the time/motivation to work out and I have a deep dislike of gyms so I need advice to help me find ways throughout the day to add exercise. I also want to eat healthier and take better care of my skin. I am still carrying about 20 lbs of baby weight that are centered around my middle/thighs so losing those would not only make me feel better but help reduce risk of heart problems....so it's a win-win on paper, just needing help to get in the habit!!! ;)

    Just rejoined MFP today and committing to tracking all my food as Step 1 in this journey.
    Go us!!!!

    Hey everyone. I am a 38 year old mom of 3 (8,5,3). I stay at home and struggle to find the time to exercise as my younger children hate when I go to the gym. I really need some help to stay motivated. I have been using MFP on and off for a few years now. I usually start strong and end up losing motivation in logging. I am hoping this is the year I can stay active and continue to log in.

    Hi ladies!
    I haven't been on this group for awhile but I'm back! I just had my second baby 14 weeks ago and have have a 5 year old as well. I've lost, gained, lost and gained again with the pregnancy. I'm ready to make some real changes for a healthier me both physically and mentally as well. Would love to connect with moms because only we know how hard it can be to balance it all and take care of ourselves! Looking forward to making some new friends to help keep me motivated and that I can motivate as well! Add me :)

    Feel free to add me. I have a daughter who is almost 4. I worked full-time until a few weeks ago when I made the decision to take some time to focus on school full-time (I was previously attending part-time) and spend more time with my daughter. I'm also working on developing healthier habits, including exercising most days.
  • So excited to be a part of some motivational entities instead of trying to do it all by myself. Thanks for your stories ladies. Today I drank three glasses of water and did 20 minutes of yoga stretches despite my screaming baby and dogs in my face the entire time. I know it doesn't seem like much, but for me that was huge and only my second day into my new routine. Yay...sooo motivated right now!
