    I'm a 35 year-old mom of two kids: my daughter was born in December 2013, and my newest baby, a son, was born in May 2016. I was overweight before getting pregnant with both.

    I got married in 2009, and started gaining weight because I started getting comfortable with my husband. When I got pregnant in 2013, I was about 15 pounds from where I wanted to be. Gained 40 pounds with baby #1, lost 30. Fast forward to finding out I was pregnant with baby #2, and gained 40+ pounds. I've only lost 22 pounds from him. YIKES! I've never been this heavy, but I know I can get back to a reasonable weight!!

    I'd like to lose 50 pounds, or more, but my long term goal is at least 50.

    I would love to be added to the group!!!!! :smile:

    Mom of 2. 4 & 7 years old. Hadn't realized how much I had let myself go until recently. Just starting with mfp. So far going well but having difficulty finding the right foods to eat. Being a picky eater is making things tricky.

    Hey everyone I'm 28, I have 80 lbs to lose and I have 4 boys. As much as I'd love to be at my pre pregnancy weight my main goal is being able to run around with my kids at the park without feeling self-conscious.

    I'm grateful to have a husband that says he's fine with the way I look now and to make sure I'm doing this for myself and not for anyone else.

    Feel free to add me as a friend as well. :)

    Hey ladies! Being a mom and trying to lose weight is so hard, but I know we all can do it. I have a 5yo son and my daughter will be 2 in December I easily gained 100lbs with each pregnancy. After my son I lost it all plus more was down to 125-130. But with my daughter I was 247 when I delivered

    I have a 5 month old girl and have lost 70 pounds since I had her in April. It's been a struggle and I have 50+ more to lose. I only gained 30lbs during pregnancy. I was already fluffy beforehand!

    Hi! I am a mom of 3. I have a teenage son and twin toddler daughters. I am at my pregnancy weight now, but I still have another 34 lbs to lose to hit my first goal weight. Once I hit my goal weight, then I will reevaluate my weight loss goals. Luckily, I started at 50 lbs and have made some progress so far. I would like to join the group and make new friends on this journey. Nice to meet everyone!!

    I'm a mom to 3 girls, a 4 year old and twin 2 year olds. I have lost my pregnancy weight, but I was overweight before my pregnancies. I'm actually pretty proud of myself because I am at the weight I was when I first met my husband almost 7 years ago.
    I have used MFP off and on for the past 10 years, and restarting now. I have lost 33.6 pounds in the past year, and I am currently at 211 pounds and would like to get to 170 pounds before I turn 40 in 2019.

    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!

    Hello everyone, I am 36 mother of 3 kids (16, 14, and 12). I lost over 100 pounds last year but I have gained back about 20 this year. I am looking to lose about 50 total with what I have gained back. I would really love to get some friends that are in the same boat to motivate and support each other.
