Hi! I am 22 years old, married with 2 sons! I work full time and go to school full time. Im not really new.. in fact I have used MFP on and off for almost 2 years now. I love the site I just get discouraged or get off track. Not this time! I have done the 30 day shred and lost 15 pounds and gained it back. Started a healthier lifestyle (eating better, exercising here or there) and instantly lost 23 pounds.. and now that is all back too! This time, I want to MAINTAIN a healthy lifestyle and a healthy weight! I want to get in shape and stay in shape! This time around my husband is also trying to get in shape with me so I feel a little more pumped! I also have a friend who is a beachbody coach encouraging me every step of the way. I am playing softball now as well so that is making me a bit more active. We have a family YMCA membership too so I just feel so much more positive about this time around!

    Good for you! I'm right there with you. I had a little boy in November and I have yet to lose all the baby weight... it's really discouraging, and a weekend with the family eating unhealthy resulted in my gaining back a lot of the weight I've worked hard to lose the last week and half. Feel free to add me if you need some support! I'm back on the bandwagon!

    Yay congrats. I know how you feel with both working and going to school... I am also a single parent to a 3 year old so it seems like finding time to exercise is a never ending battle. We can do this together!!

    Thanks! I understand that! I was a single parent when I had my oldest and it was very difficult! If you need encouragement or just someone to talk to Id be happy to listen, read. :)

    Might I also mention that I am already starting to feel a difference, just in a few days of eating better!
