    I've gotten back to weight loss about a month ago, back to exact tracking on Saturday. I've lost 10 pounds in the last month. I had lost almost 100 from my original start weight, but the last few years have been yucky in my world. I've gained about half back. I have about 80 to lose to get to final goal. My little man will be 7 tomorrow.

    I'm going to start a new group for women like me. I'm thinking it would be helpful for us moms to connect with healthy ideas for our whole family. I'm 30 and have 1 daughter who will be 2 at the end of the month. I need to lose at least 50 lbs. Comment here to be added to the group!

    @KatieMarie1106 Did you get a chance to start the group ? I'm excited!

    Hey everyone! I'm a mom of 2 girls age 5 and 4 months. I only gained 11 pounds with my last daughter but I was already overweight. I sat in the hospital on bed rest for 2 months so I am sure I lost a lot of muscle. I am currently at 197lbs looking to lose 50 pounds. Open to new friends for encouragement, motivation and tips. Good luck to everyone.

    Nice to meet you ladies :) I've been a MFP member off and on. After a few years break - I'm back. here's my story:

    I've been up and down with my weight through most of my life. I'm now at the heaviest I've been. I have about 75 to 80 lbs to lose. Since it's a huge amount, I'm just focusing on 10 lbs at this point.

    I used to be more active/fit however it's been about 2 years. I had a baby in May 2015. I scaled back my workouts to walking and some elliptical when I was pregnant. It's been hard to find the time to be active once I returned back to work. Ironically I gained 40 lbs while being pregnant and lost 32 of it. I slowly started gaining it back after I stopped nursing and went back to work :(

    I decided to come back to MFP so I can track what I'm eating. This time I decided to keep my diary open to friends so I can have some accountability. This week I decided to give the 21 day fix a try. It's coming in next week. I've been leery of the "fad diets" in the past. However I did research it and it looks like it's more about helping you create better habits. God knows I need it. With a busy schedule (working full time, an 11 month old and 2 stepsons - ages 12 and 14); I'm not able to devote an hour at the gym. So I'm excited about getting our downstairs bedroom set up as a workout room.

    Anyhow, please add me a friend if you want company on this journey!

    Hello everybody!! I am 25 years old with a 2 year old (27 months) and a six week old. last spring my co workers and I started a competition who could loose the most weight, which was perfect for me as I had baby weight plus some more weight to loose. Iwas 260 LBS and by the summer I was down about 35 pounds!! YAY ME lol. I kept eating well but could not cut out as many calories as I was expecting. I am now 195LBS and want to be down to 135 LBS, 60 pounds to go

    Hello everyone, I am 26 years old with a 6 year old daughter and 6 month old son. I am wanting to lose about 100 lbs. I currently weigh 258 and I need to make a change for my family. I recently purchased smart one meals and I plan on exercising as much as I can to the best of my ability. Since to day is Sunday, I plan on starting first thing in the morning and I am also doing the ACV and water before each meal. With me graduating in October, I want to be able to start my new career as healthy as possible.

    I have 50 pounds to loose again. With kids grown and gone and only ONE YEAR between me and the big 5-0 there is nothing stopping me but ME and that seems to be the biggest problem. Hoping to find like minded moms to motivate and inspire me to find the mo-jo to get back to my "want to" when it comes to diet and exercise.

    Hey everyone! Can you guys please tell me how you lost the weight? I need ideas and help in losing weight. By the way I am a mom of a 14 month baby girl. I weight 225lb which is the most I have ever weighted in my life since my regular weight was always 140lb. I can't say that all my weight gain has been because of the baby, I was actually gaining weight before being pregnant. I have no motivation or let say will power to lose weight even though I know I have to because its slowly affecting my health. Feel free to add me :)

    I am a 29 year old mom of two boys--10 and 3. I have been not so consistently trying to lose weight for 3 years now. I have tried multiple diets and exercise, and I have found what works and what doesn't. My problem, when I start to lose weight and feel good I start eating more than I should, and making bad food choices, because I feel I can since I lost weight, when I really can't and shouldn't!! My bff would help me along these periods of diet and exercise and always quit on me which would make me back out as well. She is pregnant now and not interested in any dieting or exercise so I am looking for another partner to help me hold myself accountable. I get really motivated one week and then the next I do not see any progress and end up giving up and eating terrible. I stay plenty active with my two boys, but need someone else there to help me with this struggle.

    It's mandatory that I lost at least 50 lbs. Currently I am 212 and I really need to be 150. So I need to lose 60 lbs!
