    Mom of 2 here - 5yrs and 1.5yrs. Definitely need motivation to get those workouts in after the kids are in bed - nearly impossible to try to do it while they're awake.

    I'm a mom of two 4 and nearly two. Its so hard to focus on you when your life revolves round others! I am wanting to lose The weight by summer! My ultimate goal is about 60# total but, my reasonable summer goal is 20-30#'s. I just started and need MAJOR support.

    I'm a mom to an ornery 2 1/2 year old boy and trying to lose the rest of my pregnancy weight...2 1/2 years later, still not there! I also need motivation. I do work out, but I have to do it in the morning before my son is up and before I have to get ready for work. Makes for pretty early mornings!

    I would like to lose about 35-40 pounds.

    Count me in! I'm a mom of one that works full-time. I lost 30 pounds 2 years ago but gained it all back last year. I'm ready to get back and lose that 30 pounds again before my next pregnancy (hopefully July)! :smiley: Feel free to add me! Thanks!

    There's a lot of busy mamas out there trying to get fit. I have 3 myself. A 10year old, 7year old and 4 year old. My 4year old is still at home. And my husband is a full time firefighter and works 24 hour shifts plus he just got his electrical licenses and started a business. I'm pretty much a single mom. But I'm able to stay home with my youngest and I'm grateful for that. Looking forward to getting to know you ladies. #letsdothis

    So pretty much I'm hanging on to 20-30 pounds of leftover baby fat from 4 years ago. I have been between 150-160 for the past 3 years. I'm ready to get this last 20-30 lbs off once and for all. Kick baby fats *kitten*! Lol

    Love seeing all these moms wanting to take time to look after themselves. We definitely need support, especially after those long days when the kids are making you crazy and you don't have time to workout until after they are in bed and all you really want to do it lay on the couch, drink wine and eat something delicious. That's me anyway!
    I'm a working mom of. 4 and 2 year old, husband works shifts with the air force. I lost the baby weight last year by following weight watcher points and exercising everyday. I want to lose 10-15 more and get super fit by the summer. I'm 5.7" and weigh 155. Would love to be around 140 and prance around in a bikini this summer!

    I'll add you. This week I finally made it back down to my pre-pregnancy weight, but still need to lose 20lbs.

    Has everyone done their workout for the day? I need to really focus on not allowing every weekend to be an eating and drinking free for all. I want to just get through this weekend of staying within my calories and working out both days. That will be a major win for me. Anyone else really good during the week but lose it on the weekend??

    My goal is 30 pounds the end of summer, have two small ones very active lifestyles, gymnastics, track and field and just about any and everything else. Will definitely need motivation!

    It's the reverse for me - by the time I get home from work and have dinner, I don't want to do ANYTHING. Weekends are better because I just have more time in general.

    Mom of 3 here, working full time and my 7 month old is a horrible sleeper so I'm pretty exhausted all the time. Finding time and motivation to exercise is very hard but I really want to lose the baby weight by summer. 20 lbs to pre-preggo weight and another 10 lbs to where I really can be comfortable with my body.

    Can I still call it "baby weight" if my "baby" is three years old already? I think I can! Anyway, mom of two, trying to lose about a pound a week for the next 25 weeks or so. Feel free to add me, anyone - I'm on MFP whenever I can.

    Mom of four here. 6years, 3 years and 18 month old twins (we just had to go for one more, lol). I'm a stay at home mom for the most part but work some evenings and weekends as a waitress. I am about 20 lbs from pre pregnancy weight with about 10 more lbs to lose on top of that ideally. Finding time to workout has been my downfall in the past but the past week I've snuck some in almost every day. Feel free to add me (for some reason I can't figure out how from my phone).

I want to lose 60-70 lbs. total and at least 20 by summer!

    I am a SAHM with 2 year old twins, and a husband with a chronic health condition (is improving with treatment but it still unpredictable) how do each of you find the will to fit in exercise?
    Some nights I get up 4, 5 or 6 times lately thanks to 2 yr molars coming through and a stupid dog that barks at nothing at 2am!
    Last year I was doing well, lost 12kg in 7 months, then BAM! Flu season. In 4 months I have put 8kg back on thanks to stress eating and fatigue. I have just started B12 injections due to a deficiency so I hope that will help.

    Anybody can feel free to add me! I am a sahm of a 4 yr old & a 14 month old. I have 35 lbs to lose to get back to my pre baby weight. I have been around 160-165 for 14 months & i hate it! I miss feeling confident in my clothes or walking around in a bathing suit. I need people who will keep me motivated & accountable. My hubby is so well trained, he tells me how sexy i look all the time & then brings home my favorite junk food.
