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.0

HI! I hope you don't mind me joining. I figured joining a group would help me lose the weight I've gained. I have two children. My daughter is 2 years old and my son is 3 months old. I need to lose about 70 pounds to get to my ideal weight.0

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.0 -
My name is Kerri and i am a mother to a sweet 9 month old baby girl. I have struggled with my weight a lot in the past but maintained a healthy 140 for a long time. i started gaining weight about a year before pregnancy amd didnt stop till the baby was born. Im now over 200 lbs. I find myself munching at the end of a long day with baby teething or going through growth spurts! I want to get back down to between 140-150 lbs. I know i have a long journey ahead of me and just need friends and support to keep motivated. Chasing after a baby all day is so exausting its hard to find time to take care of yourself. Good luck to all you other ladies on the same path as me!0

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!0 -
My name is Brandy. I am a mom of two, 12 yo & 14 yo. I am currently 216 lbs and looking to loose around 60 lbs. I have a long road ahead but I didn't get this way overnight either. I was once very fit, a long distance runner and served in the military. A couple injuries, two kids and a lot of excuses got me where I am now. No more excuses. I'm getting back into shape!0

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!0

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.0 -
Hi~
I'm a mom of four amazing kids and currently trying to lose the weight I've gained since my husband got out of the military.
I'd love to be an inspiration for my amazing children to lead a healthier life style, but most of all I'd love to have the positive image of myself that I once had.
I'm looking forward to this new adventure0 -

I'm new to the group. I'm a mother to one sassy energetic 4 year old and some days are just tough to keep up with her. I weigh around 180-185 and would like to get down to 160-140 but need some extra motivation and friends to help me get there. Just a good support team is what I need. I use my jawbone bracelet faithfully but that don't seem to be enough to keep the motivation there. I've lost eight before but it's been a few years since then.0

Hi guys! I'm Ashley, 32, mom of 3 and 2 stepkids, from Arkansas. Just getting started and hoping to lose 43 lbs (lost 4 of that so far), and get my figure back. I'm tired of having a mom butt! Lol! I want to say I'll exercise, but I'll pretty much a couch potato, besides the usual chasing my 11 month old around and running errands all over town. Right now I'm taking it slow... Less eating, watching what I eat, and that's about it. I now have diabetes, as well as other health issues, so I'm just tired of this lifestyle and who I've become. Feel free to add me if you'd like!0

Hi. I'm Corey. I'm just starting this journey. I'm a mom of four kids and a full time pet groomer. My youngest if 7 months old. I've had an interesting weight lose journey. At 21 years old and 340 lbs I had gastric by pass surgery. I lost 180 lbs and kept it off for 7 years until I had my first son. With my first three pregnancies I would lose all but 5-10 lbs of my pregnancy weight with little effort. At the started of my fourth pregnancy I weighted 185lbs. At three weeks postpartum I was back to 195lb after gaining 45 lbs with the pregnancy. Then I started taking Domperidone for low milk supply (IGT boobs) and over the course of four months gained 30 lbs. I stopped the Domperidone when I realized I couldn't walk up a flight of stairs. Now it's time to rectify this situation. My first goal is to loose the 40 lbs and go back to the 185lb that I weighted before this pregnancy. My long term goal would be to get back to 160 lbs.0

Hi I'm Caroline. I'm not new to MFP. In 2012, I used it to lose 40lbs but in 2015, I found out I was pregnant! I did my best to stay fit during pregnancy, but I had so much fatigue that I didn't do more than light walking. Anyway, I gained those 40lbs back, so I'm hoping to lose the weight. I have a beautiful baby boy who I enjoy going on walks with. He is one month today, so I am trying to get stared on my new weight loss journey. Feel free to add!0

Hi everyone! I haven't really used MFP before, but I feel like I am having a harder time dropping the baby weight this time. I have two wonderful boys, one will be 2 in October and one born in June 2016. The weight literally melted off after my first, but this time, I feel like it may be harder having a toddler who is a picky eater.
I would love any tips/advice from other moms with their experiences!!0 -
