Hi!
I'm a mom in my 30s and have 90lbs to lose. Looking for some people to help support this huge goal! I look in the mirror and don't recognize myself. I really want to lose this weight but I need to build a support community. My husband doesn't struggle with his weight like I do, so there isn't the support. Let's help each other get healthy!!!

    Hi
    I'm a mum to two little tikes and I have a hubby who doesn't have a clue and I'm 29. I totally understand where you're coming from. I have started to get serious about my weightloss this year because I'm so over being fat and it consumes my thoughts and I'm so tired of it. Join me hun and we'll do it together. I've lost quite a bit but I still have 73lbs to go till I hit goal.
    Add me xx

    I'm a mom in my 30s! This has been the easiest I've ever lost weight and it has been steady. What I love is how I haven't had to give up anything I love. I just make it fit in my daily calorie budget. I've lost 13lbs in 3 months. This isn't a quick fix, it truly is a lifestyle change.

    Hi! I'm a single mom of two kids and I'll be 35 next month! I have roughly 90 lbs to lose as well. Almost to 25 lbs since starting January 25th. This past Saturday, I fell off the wagon, but I got back up. The food diaries are always eye opening. Yesterday, although I didn't eat horrible, I had A LOT of carbs, A LOT and they weren't good or filling carbs, so I felt so hungry all day long. Today, I'm making better choices and balancing out all the nutrients. Feel free to add me! :)

    To all you young moms. You can all do this! Do it for YOU. Do it for your kids! Do it so you can be the best you possible. You can - You will - You already are. One day at a time.

    I am so eager for some mama support--please add me! I'm 39 with a four month old and I have about 60lbs to lose but I'll settle for less if I can get some good muscle. I miss feeling STRONG and I need a tonne of energy to keep up with my little boy. I've been doing mom and baby spin twice a week but other than that I have a really hard time getting good exercise in and I am running out of steam doing all the meal prep and baby care (my husband is awesome but *super* lazy about food and would be happy to eat pizza every day). I could really use some encouragement and accountability.

    Hey! I sent you a friend request. I am working to lose weight too, I got pregnant back to back which left me needing to lose like 70 pounds. I have lost 37 so far and I am really trying to make my goal this time. I have three kids under two so it's definitely hard to find time to workout. I have to get up before everyone else to do it but I have been. Changing my diet was hard too. I love cookies and cake and bread.
    Anyways., anyone else can friend me too. I have been using MFP to track myself, but just browsed forums until now. :sweat_smile:

    Not a mom, but I'm 29 and have my goal loss set at 90lbs (from 260 to 170). Anyone feel free to add me. I was in MFP a couple years ago, but decided to start fresh with a new account and could use more people in my support network

    I'm 38 and a mom of a 10 month old. I've lost 21.5 lbs on MFP this year and I'm currently 198.5 lbs. I am looking to get to 140 lbs or lower. I'm always interested in active friends who are looking to make lifestyle changes, not follow fad diets. Feel free to add me.
