I am a new mommy and have a beautiful son who is three months old today. I want to be healthy and watch my son grow....so I am trying to lose my pregnancy weight! I am looking for that extra motivation that I lack. Portion control on foods is tough and I lack motivation to workout.

Hey, I'm Jo! I have four kids ages 3-9. One of which has special needs. I want to lose the extra weight and get healthy for me, but also for them! I want more energy and to live as long as possible!

My name is Krystal and I'm a first time mom. I'm 18 and just had my baby girl six weeks ago tomorrow. I've lost most the weight I've gained during my pregnancy, but am determined to drop the remaining few, tone up the pooch that's sticking around, and get in shape. My husband is active duty in the military and is very in shape, so I'm determined to do this for not just me - but also so I can get to the point where I can exercise alongside him.

Hi everyone, my name is Arzu and I am a married mother of a baby girl born on April 5th I graduate from college next month with a history degree and hope to move onto graduate studies in the same subject the year after next. I am hoping to lose about 20 to 25 pounds (I think I am around 145 right now?) but the number doesn't matter so much as generally getting healthy. I am doing this for my family and also for myself as I know exercise will help with my anxiety and depression.

Hi everyone, I'm a mum of 3 kids aged under 2...my twin girls are 7 months old and I really want to get rid of my overhang (c-section).
I love food...being at home just now, I've overindulged on a daily basis
After reading community posts, I feel motivated and inspired. I want to lose about 28lbs and get into my healthy weight range. I always struggle to get significantly below 150lbs. ..feeling determined and can't wait for your support

Hi all. I have 3 amazing children. I'm starting this to be healthier and to set an example for my children. My current weight is 159 lbs. I would like to lose 40 lbs but I'm setting small goals at a time. Good luck everyone

It took me forever to find this group, but I knew there had to be something for moms losing weight. I got tired of tracking my food intake and goals on paper so I downloaded this app 5 days ago and have already lost another 2 lbs. I am 20, 5'5 and my comfy weight is 180ish. 3 months ago, I had my first son, and my weight before delivery was 245 lbs. On top of feeling awful my whole pregnancy being diagnosed with "pregnancy obesity" was a tough blow. So a month before my son was born, we made the switch to clean eating so it wouldn't be difficult after delivery. My baby was born in February 12th weight 9 lbs 5 oz and two weeks postpartum, my weight had dropped to 220 lbs. Okay, great... But I was/am still determined to get rid of the rest. Today, I am 198 lbs. 22 lbs in 11 weeks is right on the healthy track, but my goal weight is 160. Here we go!

Hi everyone! I just had my second child March 2nd via c-section. My other child is going to be 2 in sept. I've been overweight all my life, but having my children has brought me right up to the 200lb mark. This will be my 3rd go around with MFP. I used it twice before when i was TTC both my children. Having them makes me want to get healthy so i'm around for a long time.

I'm 31 years old
5'0 & 193lbs
Goal is 130lbs

I need support and motivation so add me if you want!!

Hi im tracey . 44 and mum of two adult boys now . Happily married and love excercise , training and healthy eating . Im on a plateau at the moment trying to eat better. Need some motivation

I'm starting over.....again. 3 day streak on MFP and I am determined this time. I am 32 years old. I weigh 153 and hope to get down to 138. I have 2 small kids and I hate feeling sluggish. I'm sick of my friends doing advocare, it works, weight watchers, etc. and trying to get me to jump in. Those never worked for me. I have lost weight in the past with running and MFP and I am going to do it again. Here's to losing this summer.

I'm 23 years old and 215 lbs. I have a 9 month old daughter. I want to be able to wear clothes and not worry about if they fit or not.

Hi everyone! I'm Allie, 28-years-old, married, and a new mom to a 6-week-old baby girl. Although I'm already below my pre-pregnancy weight (I was overweight before becoming pregnant), I'm looking to lose the rest and get into making healthy habits so I will set a good example for my daughter.

I've always been pretty active, I just needed to make better food choices. It finally clicked that eating fast food was just not going to give me the results I'm looking for. We can do this!

Hello!
I am 33 with 4kids (B8,B6,B2&G2)
I live in Australia so I do my weight differently

I am 89 today
It's been almost 3 years since I was a healthy weight (at 73kg's before twins)
Before I was 73kgs I was 110kg's (after having two kids)
I am now ready mind, soul & body to lose this weight!
I having been getting to the gym (60min classes) twice a week, but feel that I can't do much more than that (too much housework).
This is my second week and I am loving it!!!
I am eating about 1350 cals a day. That allows me to eat normally, but smaller portions and weighting my food.

I am looking for reading info on weight loss and learning Los of tips!!

Happy eating!!

Hi friends! My name is Sarah and I am very new to weight loss. I was always active in high school with sports but I never developed good exercise habits on my own and of course, I ate whatever I wanted. I never really struggled with my weight until I had my son. I was 26 when I had him and he is now almost a year and a half. Even though I breastfed for a year, the weight did not "melt off" like it does for so many other breastfeeding mamas. Recently, I've found myself very unhappy with the way I look and with how I feel. I've been moody and sad. I feel like I'm on an emotional roller coaster and I've always been pretty solid emotionally. A few weeks ago, I decided something needed to change. I've been using mfp for 3 days now, so too early to see any results but I feel like I can do this. I enjoy taking Zumba classes at my gym and I'm about to start attending an early morning full body exercise class. I want to lose 30 lbs and two pants sizes. I know this will be hard, especially with holidays looming over us in a few months, but I know it will be easier with support and friends! I'm excited to join you all in this journey!
