I have a 7 year old and a 7 month old and while I love them more than life itself, I am DONE having babies :smile: Ready to get my body back but need some help doing it. I just signed up to get personal training and exercise is proving to be the easy part of the equation. I LOVE to eat and I love to eat bad stuff. Would love to connect with other moms to encourage and commiserate. Am totally willing to share my food diary in the hopes of being shamed to eat better. Happy fourth of July!

    I have a 3.5 year old and a 13 month old. I get stuck in the rut of not having time to properly plan and prepare so end up eating something unhealthy late at night when I actually get a chance to feed myself. I would love to connect with other moms!

    Hello Lovely Ladies. I am a new mum. My beautiful daughter Mia was born in December 2015. I have managed to gain 5.5 stones during my pregnancy and I have lost it in ca. 6 months. MyFitnessPal and Garmin tracker are absolutely ace and I have never been hungry or unhealthy and I must admit I am only exercising 13 minutes a day and try to walk a lot with my baby girl and the dog. I also take really healthy and natural supplements. I am still breastfeeding so I need to be careful with everything I am doing, but I am happy to help others and give motivation.I loved this transformation of mine so much that became a FIT mentor, so ladies, if you need help or a friend or motivation, feel free to contact me, this is my passion now and I am here to help you. xxxx

    Hey ladies! I'm a mom of four. It is really hard planning meals. You know kids, they don't like anything new(veggies). Looking to make friends to help motivate each other!

    I'm a mam to a 1 year old, my absolute world… although I plan to have more kids in the distant future, I'm determined to get my body back to the way it was
    I've lost exactly 1 stone so far (only been on here about a month) and still got 98lbs to go

    I forgot to add that I am also breastfeeding and need to be careful about keeping up my milk supply. I tried doing Whole30 (if u haven't heard of it before, it's absolutely worth looking into) when baby was about 3 mos old and my milk tanked! :/

    Hi, Ladies! I would also love some Mom friends! I'm back after a year hiatus... and half my weight put back on. I have two kiddos (8 and almost 6). Super motivated to get back down to my goal and keep it off!

    Hi! I'm a mom of 8 kids, aged 18, 17, 14, 12, 11, 9, 7, and 2.5! I've been on MFP for four years. I successfully lost 20 pounds, then kept a healthy weight through my last pregnancy, and lost all of the baby weight plus some. Now I'm just working off a couple of stray pounds I gained when I wasn't paying attention. :tongue:

    Anyone can add me! I have 5.5... 14 year old step-twins, one boy and one girl, a 13 year old adopted daughter, and my biological daughters are coming up on 11 and 9, and in October we will be welcoming baby girl #5 - our first and only together. I've used MFP to lose 70lbs, and am now using it to maintain/manage during this pregnancy before losing the last 40ish

    I'm a mom to 4 wild boys: a set of triplets that just turned 8 and another little guy that is 5; so my life is crazy, loud, and filled with fart jokes from having 4 boys! I'm always open to new friends on the same journey :)

    Hey! I have 2 boys, ages 7 and 4. They are nuts! I'm hoping getting them involved in my exercise routines will help keep them entertained and tire them out! Sw:184 gw:145

    Hi all! I have a 7 month old. I've lost all the baby weight, but want to maintain where I am at and actually start working out because I want to show my daughter a healthy lifestyle. I want to be healthy as I plan on having more children in the next couple of years! Feel free to add me!

    I have a 16 month old. We are hoping to get pregnant again in the near future. I wanted so much to at least be back to my pre-pregnancy weight before doing it again, but I still have 16lbs to go. I am hoping MFP will help me keep track and more aware of what I am eating. I can use all the motivation I can get. Feel free to add me :)
