Noob here! Wish me luck!

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 (including degenerative discs in my lumbar region), so I'm just tired of this lifestyle and who I've become. Feel free to add me if you'd like!

    Welcome and good luck! I am 43 with bilateral knee osteoarthritis. I have about 50 lbs to lose at this point. MFP makes it relatively easy and painless to stay on track. Feel free to add me as a friend!

    Hi, I have muscular illnesses, too many to bore you with. Feel free to add me. Maybe we should do a little gentle exercise class together?! Some chair exercises or gentle stretching :)

    Welcome, I have been away for awhile and trying to get back on track. I am older (69) with arthritis and knee problems. Feel free to add me if you like. Gentle exercise is what I need.
