edited September 27 in Introduce Yourself
I am a mommy to 2 babies- a 2 year old and an eight month old. Its so easy to make excuses to not get is shape. As a mommy its really really hard to find time for yourself. Joining MFP has helped me realize how much happier, healthier, and a much better mommy i am when i take care of ME. You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others..kids, husband, parents, job, all of the things that we as women take care of! So, I have lost 12 pounds and i have another 20ish to go. Independence day is around the corner and i would love to shed 10 pounds by then. I have a plan in place, but i thought, why not get more friends and a challenge to hold myself accountable. Any mommies out there in need to lose a solid 10 pounds in 5 weeks? This is 2 pounds a week which is doable with diet and execise! On monday, we will check in here with weight, inches, and plan of action. So here is to losing the next 10 pounds! Any takers?

    I would love to join. My weight loss has stalled big time lately. maybe this will be what it takes to get that scale moving again. my name is amanda. i have 2 boys. they are 2 1/2 years old and 14 months. and i Totally agree with taking care of yourself- physically and spirtually, results in giving those you care about most the better care too :0).

    I'm in! My baby girl will be 2 on Saturday. I'm going on a vacation with my husband and some friends while she goes on a vacation to Nanny & Pop-pop's July 9th-16th. I'd LOVE to lose 10lbs before having to walk around in a bathing suit in front of my husband's friends!

    I am in too. I have been on this site for five weeks and lost five pounds, but gained three back. I would love to lose ten in the next five weeks. I have three kids, the youngest just turned two. To be honest I know I will be tempted to eat more with the kids home for the summer. So I could use the challenge.
