in Getting Started
34 year old wife with two jobs. Need support from friends to help stay on track and encourage each other. I'd like to drop 30-40 lbs of weight I've gained in the last 10 yrs to feel better about myself and get healthy to start a family.

    I'm 25, and trying to achieve the same goal as you! So far from downloading this app, I've lost 6.8 lbs. so it is a process. But don't give up. You can do this. If you can't work out, just eat right. I will motivate you, if you motivate me! :) #deal?

    Good luck! I know the feeling of being busy. It is doable and takes patience.

    Hi
    I am in the same type of lifestyle.
    I am a mom of two with a full time job. Life is crazy. My goal is to work out at home before I have to get ready for work.
    I want to drop 40-50.

    Hi everyone. I have been on fitness pal before and loved doing it. I have done weight watchers and lost lots of weight but need to try something again that doesn't cost me lots of money!!! My son is getting married in October and want to lose weight so I can buy a great gown. Please post any suggestions you may have for boredom eating!! Good luck to everyone.

    The word "busy" in your post caught my eye! Busy working mom here who got to her goal weight and then got lazy (or really, just put herself last, as most of us tend to do). Feel free to add me!

    I'm not a wife or mother, but I am a busy (er, ish) student with a lot of responsibilities involving sitting down in front of a computer or a book. Have dieted a million times before but this time does feel a little different, and I can't wait to watch this 50lbs melt away- hope I can help anyone get motivated along the way! Feel free to add me.

    I love this thread. I need more MFPs! I used MFP after my first baby and it was really great and helpful. I have two kids now and need to get healthy again. I want to lose 20 pounds, have two kids, and would love more MFP busy mom friends! Let's do this! :)
