    Good luck! Not a mother (obviously haha), but I'd imagine it can be extra tough to stay motivated when taking care of kids too. Just get into logging everyday no matter how well you do, and staying active in the community/joining a group/adding friends will help you stay accountable.

    Hi there and congrats on getting into the right mindset! Just remember that there are no shortcuts! Creating a calorie deficit (through moderate calorie restriction and increase in physical activity) is the only way to lose weight. Any plan that does not require sacrifice is unrealistic and leads to failure.

    About 80 percent of your ability to reduce excess body fat is determined by what you eat, with the other 20 percent related to exercise and other healthy lifestyle habits such as sleep and stress reduction.

    MUCH SUCCESS! You CAN do it! :)
