Thought I would introduce myself...

I am just getting back from maternity leave and getting back on track with my eating. I have about 50 pounds to lose and fitness pal always seems to help me accomplish my weight loss goals. My weight often yo-yo's with running injuries and two pregnancies in the last couple of years.

I do great with my diet in the morning and during the day when I am at work. My struggle to eat right is evening time and weekends. I hope to use this app to keep me on track during those times.

I have started exercising again after taking a three month hiatus. Running, walking, and yoga 4-5 times a week. I even started an app for a 30 day challenge (currently planks) as my core is trashed from pregnancy.

I am so ready to start feeling better and want to fit into my smaller wardrobe. Trying to keep up with my two year old is great motivation as well. Good luck to all of you and I hope we can all meet our goals!

New face here from upper Michigan. I recently had my kiddo via csection six weeks ago. Lost all my baby weight in the first two weeks, only gained 25 pounds, but now I'd like to keep adding to that loss. Getting back into the swing of things is hard since my core is weak right now. I was a tank while pregnant, nothing stopped me from doing anything. Now I'm just super tired and up every 3 hours with the wee one. Not much energy left these days. Lol

Hello. Gave birth via C-section a week ago today to my 4th baby. I have been on MFP before and had good results. I am a nurse and obviously a busy mom so no gym for me. I am looking to lose 100lbs by simply eating better and moving more. No beachbody, shakeology, body wraps for me.

I'm a 34yo stay home mom with 2 boys, 3 & 5yo. I've joined mfp since March2015 but I never bothered to visit the forums here. I think it's great to have more mfp buddies to motivate each other in this journey to fitness coz it's tough. It's tough enough being a mom and to lose weight & stay fit at the same time is overwhelming. I've about 13lbs to lose but all of those are stubborn weight that just won't go away. Feel free to add me.

Hi! I'm a mom of 3 girls (2.5 and 14 mo old twins), ate like a crazy person during my last pregnancy and then ate for comfort during the tough (and amazing) first year of having 3 little ones. Now I'm trying to get my brain back to accepting a healthy eating lifestyle but could use encouragement. Also trying to figure out how the heck to fit in exercise with the kids and a FT job. I used MFP with success years ago before my wedding, but that was before kids! I am about 25 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight, and then need to lose another 20 or so on top of that. I never met a bag of chips I didn't like (and eat). I really want to get healthy and have more energy for the girls and looking better wouldn't be a bad thing either.

Hi everyone! I've been on MFP a few years but not for more than a few months at a time. I'm back at it again. I'm 28, a mother of 2 girls (10 and 4), and an addict of Dr. Pepper and sweet tea. I'm 5'7" and at my heaviest I was 209. I'm currently down to 191. Always looking for more friends on this journey.

Hi! I just had my second baby (a boy) in June. I have a 3 year old daughter, as well. I love my babies, but I'm ready to start losing my baby weight.

I'm 175 now and I want to get down to my pre-baby weight of 135. I've used MFP off and on before, but I usually stop after a few months. I hope joining groups and finding friends will help me stick with it this time. I need to keep myself accountable to meet my goal.

My name is Becky and I'm mom to two boys, 3 years old and 3 months. I'm on leave from my job as a teacher and I love walks in the forest, reading, and I'm working on trying to fit exercise in with our busy schedule.

I was a fit kid up until university where I had great success losing weight with WW. However soon after a 40 lbs weight loss I developed Cushing's Disease and my weight sky rocketed to 260 lbs over just a couple years. After my treatment for that I lost again and was at 180 lbs but then started having babies and the weight has gone up again.

I am currently 214 lbs and looking to lose around 60 lbs. My greatest struggle is tracking ALL my food ALL day. A check-in buddy with similar stats would really help to keep me motivated. Send me a message and add me as a friend!

My name is Larissa and I'm 26 years old. I'm a SAHM to my beautiful 5 month old daughter Aubree. I was able to lose 40lbs pre-pregnancy, but gained 33lbs while pregnant. I'm now looking to lose the baby weight and more. I am almost two weeks into my weight loss journey and down 2.8lbs! I'm EBF so it's been a little more complicated this time around because I don't want to lose my milk supply. My daughter is my motivation. I want to be able to run around with her when she's older and I'd like to feel good about myself again. Feel free to Add me!

Hello there,
I'm a new mom of a super sweet 4 month old girl. I have already lost weight but would like to lose a bit more and lower my body fat %
I have had poor health habits in the past and have used restriction and over exercise as a means to lose weight. I want to be a healthy example to my daughter and maintain my sanity in the process of getting my body back in shape.
