Before baby number 2 I was in the gym most days of the week.. now I am lucky to get in there once... :neutral_face: I am really trying to get back on track... but the struggle is so real right now!

    Hello. I live in Portland, Oregon, USA. I'm 35 years old, 5'3", and ~170lbs. My husband has sole custody of his 12 year old daughter, so I'm coparenting a tween. I'm a full-time nursing student and work graveyards. I'd like to lose some weight before we start trying to get pregnant in the spring. I always stick with this for a couple of weeks and then get bored, but I'm determined this time.

    I am a 25 year old single mom of a 4 year old working 50 hours a week. I have used mfp on and off for the last 3.5years. When I had my son I weighed 240 at 5'5. I have gotten down to about 215 and am stuck on yet again another plateau. I did the insanity workout for a month and loved it but then came rest week and yeah I'm still on rest week a year later... for the new year and a new me I have dusted off my nutribullet and started using it again. Now I just need some help with cutting out my soda and some encouragement on working out and using mfp religiously

    Hi! My name is Amanda. I started MFP on Jam 4 weighing 285. So far I've lost 14 of my 150 pound weight loss goal (yay for water weight! )
    I'm 33 and a mother to 5. My husband and I have become burdened about the impact our unhealthy eating has on our children. This overhaul in our lifestyle has already been so beneficial to us and our kids.
    I could use some support in meal planning ideas and general encouragement. If you would like to support each other, please feel free to friend me.

    Hi! This is my first week really getting into myfitness pal. I started my diet/lifestyle change at the end of January and have lost about 5 pounds. I have two little boys, Spencer and Dominic who are 3 and 5. I am still trying to lose that last 10-15 pounds that will take me back to pre-baby weight that I was in early 2009 before both babies.

    I love to go and workout at the YMCA. It gives me ME time and makes me feel better and less tired. I love the motivation of myfitness pal!

    Add me! I need more friends!

    Hello. I am new to this website but i have done others. I've recently decided that i need to stop the downward spiral before it is too difficult. I have a one year old and a five year old, I'm the sole pervidor of my household and hold about 90% of the stress. After my youngest was born with congenital heart disease and had two heart surgeries before she was 6 weeks old i went into a major depression. Which I'm pretty sure I'm still in I'm just so used to it I'm not sure. My goals are to lose weight, tone up, stop smoking and hopefully in the process find happiness again.

    Hi. Im a sahm of 2. A 7 year old girl and a 6 month old boy. I'd be happy losing 15lbs but would be ecstatic if I lost 25( putting me at my post baby weight of 120.) You know how "they" claim breastfeeding makes the weight just melt away? Well "they" are liars and I'm constantly hungry. I've always eaten fairly healthy and inconsistently done yoga. I'm trying to curb my pregnancy sugar tooth (something developed with both babes). My son is a con artist but I just can't listen to him whine so exercise is a difficult thing to fit in. I've started using him as weight (I should be ripped considering he's a hefty 20 lbs already). So add me if you'd like. I'd def like some advice and input.

    Hello! My name is Seanica. I'm 25 and the mother of a 7 month old boy. I am a working mom (hoping to move to part-time from home by the end of this year), but I really struggle with finding the time to workout (I am NOT a morning person, so getting up before work, early enough before my son works out, I don't believe is an option for me) and also having the motivation to cook healthier meals. :-) I'm addicted to pasta.

    I'm 5'10" and currently weigh 164. My goal is to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 154 by my son's 1st birthday in mid-August. My ultimate goal is to be 150.

    Hi, I'm Kayley, a happy mommy of a very rambunctious 2 year old girl named Allix. I've been using the app for a few months and have started loosely clean eating within the past month. After I had Allix, I was 175 pounds. Today I'm happily 110ish pounds. I still have my momma tummy which I don't totally mind but I would love some abs. Right now my goal is to have less body fat overall and to gain muscle. I really want to start weight training and I kind of have but I'm unsure if it's really effective. If anyone has any strength training/weight lifting whatever tips I'd love to hear them!

    Hi I'm new to m too. I had my youngest a year ago and I'm struggling to take off the weight. When I started my weight loss venture I was 174 and have gotten down to 162. I'm hoping to get support from the group to keep going towards my goal of 125-130. I have a junk food habit that gets in my way. Lol. I also have so progress pictures but I feel embarrassed to post them. Well I hope to help those other and appreciate your help. Thanks.

    Hello everyone,

    I am the mother of a 9month old princess and it seems impossible to get rid of this excess weight. I currently weigh 299, and my overall goal is 175-160, oh boy do I have a long way to go. Before I got pregnant I was working out like crazy and reached 203, but I got a little too comfortable in my relationship and began gaining weight. This weight loss journey seems to be a never ending story, but I would love to close a few chapters.
