Hey everyone my names Nicole, im 20. I have a daughter who just turned 1 in December. Im trying to get healthy and lose weight for her. Im sad to say im at 230lbs right now. I have only been doing this for about a week and a half and I already feel way more energy! Im doing this and going to the gym daily and just trying to get in better shape and making it my goal to possibly be able to wear a bathing suit for summer! My fiance has promised me a new tattoo aswell :)
Any other mommas?

    I am a little bit older than you, 27, but I have 4 kids, a 12 year old, twin 6 year olds and a 5 year old. I lost about 30 lbs. over three years ago and over the past year I have gone up about 15 lbs. to 213. I am just trying to get down to a comfortable weight so I can be happy and so far I have lost 5 lbs. just keeping track of my calories on here. Good luck to you :)

    I am 26 not sure about the young part! I have a son who is 13 months named Roman. Other than God and my hubby, He is my world. I need to lose 20+ pounds to be in the shape I was before the baby. Ive been lazy and indulging in bad food far too long. After all, its been over a year since I had him. I want more kids but I want to be in good shape before we try again and I dont want to gain as much as I did with him, which should be easy if I can get this self control button to work! I would love to have friends on here to keep me on track and to encourage!

    Yay so glad for more mommas!
    I have been over weight since before I got pregnant but during my pregnancy I gained 20lbs and developed high blood pressure and im tired of it. Im way too young for this!
    And I would love another baby in a year and I want to get healthy and in shape first.
