Hi everyone!
I'm Katie, 27 years old, and I have 50-60lbs to lose. I'm at 185 currently, started at 195 (10lbs down, woohoo!). I have 3 kids, ages 5, 3 and 1, and I'm done, so now I want to work towards having the body I've always wanted. I'm currently doing 1500 calories a day, and trying to work out at least 3 times a week, preferably 5 (but it's hard to fit it in with the kids at home). Looking to make friends here and get support!

    Hello everyone my name is Jacque ,
    We should call this the 50-60 lbs club! I am 41 and a Mom of 2. I have had health issues that have kept me yo-yo'ing the past 7 yrs. I am 204lbs which was what I weighed when I gave birth to my 1st child....I had gained 70lbs, if that says anything. I don't want diabetes and I want to bring sexy back! Haha! B):p
    I started last week, we'll 9 days and am 2lbs down. I am using Herbalife shakes for 2 meal replacements to help stay under 1200 calories per day, and use Fitbit HR to keep track of sleep,steps,& heart. I eat healthy snacks and balanced dinner.
    I need some pals to stay motivated! Ask me or I will be u!

    I have a wee bit more than 50-60 to lose, but if anyone needs any motivation and help, I'm definitely around to. I've dropped from 380 down to 322 in 10 months with 147 lbs to go.

    Names Kim been logging for a week and it's helpful knowing and being conscious of what I am eating. Just need to combine the healthy eating with working out. Hard to find time when you have a full time job and two kids. Looking to lose 50 pounds as well. Stay motivated all.
