Hello,
I'm not new to MFP but am looking for more mom/mum friends (depending where you're from)on here who can really relate to what we go through on a daily basis in trying juggle children with work, keeping a home and trying to keep fit too!
I'm a mom of 5, ages raging from 20 down to 4 and I work part time as a teaching assistant.
I've successfully lost just over 20lbs while on MFP but have been slacking as of late and could really do with some friends for support and motivation to lose just a few more pounds - but more importantly just to get back into living a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise.
When I used to exercise I was quite keen on jogging, cycling, walking, Chalean Extreme and Les Mills Combat.
Hope to speak soon :)

    Hello!
    I am a Mum of 3 between the age of 3-6 and I attend university full-time so I can definitely understand the juggling motherhood and life :)
    This year I am focusing on myself which includes getting healthy and fit again! Would love some like-minded friends to support each other! I have about 40lbs to lose and I am in BC, Canada :smile:

    I am a mom of two daughters in college who is finally putting herself first, and I am almost 50! :) I am in the United States, and have a dual goal of losing about 15 more pounds, while also becoming healthier with regard to nutrition.

    Good Luck Girls...we can do this!

    Hello. I successfully used MFP a few years ago, but I slacked off. I am now at my heaviest. I have three children. My oldest is eight and my twins are five. I have a very difficult time putting myself first so I need some motivation too! Let's just call it my New Years Resolution.

    Hi! I'm a mom of 2 girls ages 11and 7. I work 2 jobs and rarely have time for my husband never mind myself. I used MFP 3yrs ago and lost 30lbs and I've managed to keep that off but am looking to meet my all time weightloss goal of 70lbs this New Year. I received a FitBit for Christmas so now I can really keep track of my activity level. Hopefully the Fitbit and chatting with you ladies will help me get my motivation back on track. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Mom of 4 here, 12 years, 9 years, 17 months, and 7 months. I'm not trying to lose, but am focusing on strength. I also work and volunteer, with two under two I get the juggling act....

    Hey there - mum and step mum here (love that you recognize both spellings!) I have three kids of various ages and stages (one bio and two step). I was doing really well for a while but now feel as though I have lost the motivation to really stick with it. I would love a couple of friends who would give me a kick in the butt when I need it and encourage me to be more vigilant and make healthier food choices.

    I'm a 39 year old mom to 3 (18, 10, 9) from sunny California. I work full time as a teacher. Juggling work, kids, hubby, home, sports, church, etc is exhausting! This is the year us girls need to take care of ourselves to be the best we can be for our families!

    Hey seems like everyone has multiple children, I only have one 3 year old so far hopping for #2 this year but we will see!
    I have been over weight my whole life lost it all and gained it all back when I had my son, the second time around has been way harder than the first time.
    I am always looking for people who encourage me and I could help support others in their journeys feel free to add me :)
