Hi everyone,

I am brand new to MFP. So far so good. The MFP app is new to me too so if I do this incorrectly or don't respond, it's probably because I am lost somewhere is cyber space!

I am a mother of 3 kids and I am still looking to lose baby weight. Ha ha! My youngest just turned 3yrs old.

I have gained and gained and gained. My weight is at it's highest ever and I need motivation to lose 50lbs.

Yesterday, was my first day of keeping track of food and actually doing exercise. Jillian Michaels is my motivation right now and when I am mad at her, I'll need some support from real people doing it themselves.

So if you want to chat or just discuss the weather ;) I'd love for you to add me. :)

Thanks!!

    Hi
    Being on diet is some thing that requires patient and time and good plan.
    After pregnancy if you maintain a good active life style with a miderate diet it is not difficult to lose weight and even build an muscular body.
    Good luck.
    I am also new to MFP want to loose 30 Lbs in short time hope it will work .

    Hey!

    My goal was also to lose about 50 lbs. I've been working at it consistently since January; logging and watching calories every day, and exercising 4 days per week. So far, I've lost 30 lbs. For me, making MFP and exercise a regular part of my routine ( without stressing myself out about it) has worked. I'm sure you'll do great! Feel free to add me if you want some support.

    Hi! Thanks for responding. With three kids and a home run daycare, I have really forgotten to take care of myself. No boo-hooing! lol I am super proud of myself as I just finished the second round of my 30 day shred...my arms hurt but, I feel energized!
