Hi! I'm Sarah. I've been on MFP for years on & off. I'm ready to get back in the shape I was before having my Irish twins. They are now 4 & 3 so it's beyond time!! I'd love to meet new people & motivate each other. I'd like to lose about 70lbs.

    Hello Sarah I'm Juan. I've also been on and off for some time now with MFP. I'm also looking for motivational people, I believe it helps a great deal. You can add me if you choose, good luck with your goals.

    I'm Laura, aged 21, mummy of a 7 month old! I'm back on MFP to lose half a stone and then tone up more than anything. It's also a guide to help me look at what I'm eating, instead of just eating the cupboard away! It's a great motivation for me to see others achieving! Feel free to add and I'll follow your progress too!

    Hi! I'm a mom of 3 babies 10 weeks, 1, & 4. Starting too. It's so hard even being home full time to take care of myself too, but if I don't start now I won't be much help to them. I'm really excited about restarting this journey now that I'm done having babies!

    Hi I'm Melissa and I have been with MFP for quite some time. It really helped me last year to get toned up, but I am in need of dropping my body fat percentage to a healthier level. I have never joined a group on here and would like to try it this year. Add me and we can help each other :)

    Hey Sarah!

    I have about 70 to lose too. My kids are 7 months and 2 years and now that we're done having kids I really want to have them learn better habits and have a good role model in me! Very excited and motivated, but would love the support. Feel free to add me.

    Hey all.... a mum of a 2 and 3 year old. Both pregnancy left me 50 pounds heavier, diabetes 2 and high blood pressure. Although I'm managed to lose 25 pound, and get off meds since my last child .... weight has been going up. Need help and support? Me too.!
    Feel free to add me. More support the better.

    You ladies are amazing. I'm drowning with my one toddler. I have four more girls between the ages of 8 and 11 but it's the toddler that drains me.

    I've spent so much focus over the years on good nutrition for my kids while neglecting myself. It's time to face it and take charge of my health and weight. Feel free to add me any of you. I can be a little shy about putting myself out there but I am an excellent cheerleader.

    Hi. Mom of 3 here. 4,3, and 11 months. I am so tired of feeling and looking the way I do and want to set a good example for my daughters. Also looking for motivation. I'm over making excuses.

    I have a 4 & 3 year old and 18 & 16 year old. It gets a bit chaotic here and I lose focus and once that happens it's back to the same habits!!

    Hi all! I'm a mom of a 3 year old and a foster mom to a 3 year old and 10 month old. It's so hard to get that energy to exercise after chasing 3 littles around all day, and Lord knows I'm not a morning person so working out in the mornings is difficult as well. Would love to have other moms in a similar situation to help cheer each other on! I have about 30 I need to lose before I go into IVF in the next year. (Not for health purposes, just to feel better about resulting pregnancy weight gain)
