    I am so glad to have joined this group! I'm glad that there are other mom's out there on this same journey. It is so hard for me to lose weight alone. My weight has gone up & down for years, but after having my son 3 months ago, I knew that it wasn't about me anymore; its about him. I want to be able to keep up with him when he starts crawling around the house in a few months :smiley:

    Is this group for any moms or new moms? I have three older boys. I am right at 200 pounds. I was over 250. I would enjoy the accountability and support. I have never been in a group so I am not for sure how all this works. I am struggling with maintaining my loss and I need to lose another 60 pounds due to health reasons. Please let me know if this group is for me

    Hi JCFan3,

    Not just for mew noms, I actually have kids from every generation lol! 23, 17, 13, 6 and 7 months(surprise). So moms in general and specifically those in the 200's looking to get out slowly but surely.

    Congrats on all your success hearing your loss is certainly an inspiration to me.
    If your looking for accountability, honesty and support as a mom who struggles with a busy life ( older and adult kids still offer their share of mommy needs) with losing weight and keeping it off
    This group is for you. We'd love to have you.

    That said I'm offering a challenge monthly. In the future I will add to our monthly weight loss challenge with some other practical challenges. I will also post some conversation starters and any member is welcome to start a conversation. If your ready post your stats in the February challenge and let's do this!

    Having a rough time maintaining. I had lost 70 pounds 3 years ago and I gained 40 back. I am at a net loss of 50 pounds at this time but I have gained 10 back in the last month. Even though I still have 50 pounds off I feel like I'm losing the battle because I have been yo-yo dieting this last year. UP 20 Down 20. I am diabetic and I still need to lose 60 more pounds. Struggling to stay in the fight. I am hoping this group will help get me motivated and refocused.
