Looking for other moms in the same boat!

I'm a mama of three and about three months ago I started down this journey. I'm trying to find happiness and myself in a world of school buses and diapers. Thankfully it's summer but I'd love to have other moms or friends to stay motivated with.

I'm 5'6 and I started out at 245. I'm now 225 and working towards my first goal of 200. Anyone want to take this road together?! Now that I'm a couple months in I think I'm ready to have some friends along the way!

    I would love to give support and receive support! I was doing Weight Watchers with no results because I had no support to stick to it. I am trying to lose 20 lbs before vacation (2 months away) and then continue to lose another 20-30 lbs. I am a mother of 2 (7 yo & almost 4 yo) I have just become more active (doing Zumba twice weekly and riding a bike pulling the kids in a trailer 3 times weekly) I have tried My Fitness Pal in the past but didn't really do much with it, so I am crossing my fingers this time works!!!

    I first started MFP in May 2010. I lost 63 lbs and was loving life. Then I finally found the love of my life. I got married at 42 and became a first time mom at 43. Last month I restarted back on MFP to get back to the way I was before I fell in love. I was 5 lbs under where I started in 2010. Now I'm on the downhill trek again! Feel free to add me if you wish! I'd love the support & to give some pointers since I've been there. Its just harder now that I have my husband & son and still work full time. It was much easier when I got off work & it was just me. However I wouldn't change having the life I have now for the world. I just need to get my skinny back! :wink:

    Anyone who is willing to help encourage me is free to add me as a friend! I only have my husband listed on my "friends" list now, but 3 weeks into tracking my food and I'm really getting discouraged. Haven't lost a single pound, yet have stayed at the 1200 calorie mark every day except 3 of them. I am 4'11" and currently 146. Would like to be as close to 120 as possible (seeing as how the doctor's chart says anything over 119 is overweight -- UGH). Thank you guys!

    Hello all! I'm a mother of two kiddos and not planning on adding more to the family. I'm more than ready to get myself back in shape. My goal is to get to a Healthy weight. I want to get rid of at least 70 pounds. I would love some friends to help keep me accountable.
