    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!!!!

    Hi all. I am a 40 year old mum of a 15yo daughter and 2 sons aged 14 and 2. I work full time and do struggle to balance home/work/kids/hubby and only recently decided that I need to lose those creeping mummy kilos. Would love some new friends and to give and receive support.

    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!
