Hi everyone

This was such a supportive thread but like many - it seems to have died down. So I thought I would start it up again!

I'm a working mom of a 5 year old boy and wife of a supportive (trying to lose weight too) husband. The hardest part for me is finding consistency - both in eating and exercise. I recently had to take over a week off because I hurt my shoulder / neck and I'm just now getting back on track.

Hope to talk & support other moms trying to do it all!

    So do you want to do a weekly weigh in on a certain day? I think that helps me stay accountable! Just a thought!!! :happy:

    So it seems like a Friday weigh in will be best for all of us - perfect way to stay on track for the weekend!

    Also, since we're all moms I don't know about you but I'd love to get some more kid friendly meals that the whole family can eat verses cooking different items.

    And lets share what we are trying to lose and what our greatest current challenge is:

    Me (Natasha) - want to lose about 80 more pounds!
    Current challenge - since I'm still recovering from this injury - I get off track at night (that's my weakest time) I need to stop eating before bed or if I have to take a musle relaxer - eating something healthy and low calorie. I'm not tracking well right now.

    Well my weight last Friday was 194.7. I usually weigh myself on Monday mornings (I am part of another group that has to weigh in by Monday morning) and I will try to weigh in on Fridays but cannot guarantee it will happen every week. But yay. Let's get it started!
