I have 2 children - 4.5 years old and 16 months. I had pneumonia and some other health issues this past fall so I have not been able to exercise for awhile. Though I'm nearly at the weight I was at when I got married I am not happy with how I look and feel and am ready to make some changes!

I would love to swap recipes, tips, and encouragement with other moms. We could even start a closed Facebook group so that it would be easier to share recipes, etc. I'm just getting back into MFP so would love to have some friends online for this journey!

    Add me too! I've got a 5 1/2 year old and two 3 year olds. Fitting in exercise with them is a struggle sometimes, and I could use some motivation as well.

    I'd love to, I do better in groups anyways! I just started up again after going on and off for a while and would love people to chat with on here to keep me motivated. I tried this recipe tonight, low fat and awesome! My girls loved it, so skip the Sriacha and add it last instead for the flavor.

    I'd love to join. I have kids 8, 6, and 3yo. I love to cook and workout...which I make a priority, because I'm one crabby mama if I don't get my exercise. I need motivation to stay away from snacks. Kids are constantly eating in my house!!!!
