in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone, I am Nat, I'm 36 married with 2 kids.
Over the last 4 years I have put weight on due to a bad back and not being able to run.
I have cut out completely all the crap I eat and I have lost nearly a stone in a week, I work full time a long with my husband and son, my daughter is at high school.
We are all home generally at difficult times, I'm looking for help with any healthy, low calorie meal ideas you may have.
Looking forward to meeting other people and hearing your story whilst on your journey.

    Hi Gem27star, that would be fab to share some meal ideas, that is the biggest thing I am struggling with, having one extremely fussy child, working full time and we all get in at different times has proved challenging.
    We love chicken, any ideas you have would be much appreciated xxx

    Hi,

    I'm Gill, I'm 30 and mum to a fabulous three year old. The weight went on while pregnant and I'm past the point if saying it's still baby weight I think.

    I'm looking to lose appx 50-55lbs. I don't eat much red meat, or any seafood so my diet is predominantly chicken and pasta dishes.

    I've just signed up to BeachBody, they're doing a 30 day free trial where you can access all the fitness videos for free during those 30 days so that's my plan as soon as the wee.ine goes.to bed each night

    Just thought I'd say hi, and happy to have / swap recipes etc. I definitely need an accountability buddy

    Hi Nat! I'm a full time working mom too, age 38. Its been hard to find time to exercise so I am focusing on food intake right now. Ive been using MFP for a while but havent been too active. That is changing! My baby is now 13 months and I am more than ready to ditch the baby weight.

    Congrats on the weight loss so far!
