I keep trying to find a group to join and I'm always too late since I'm not online constantly so you know what, I think I'll try to start one myself :-) I'd like to limit this to a total of 20 including myself and I'm looking for other moms who need to lose at least 50 lbs (I need to lose 70 lbs myself). I really struggle with finding time for exercise and eating right....I struggled with it before becoming a mom but even more so now. My primary reason for wanting to lose weight other than the obvious (looks, health issues) is to be a good example for my daughter. She's only 1 right now but she'll be watching me her whole life and I want her to see something different than what I am now.

    I am not sure if I qualify, I had more then 100lbs to lose but have already lost 77lbs, I still have 23 more to go and then I will evaluate where I am at and see if I need to lose more. I am a sahm of 7, only 3 still at home and would love to find other moms that are in the same boat

    Hi! would love to join. I know what you mean about not having time to work out. I have a 4 year old and it's nearly impossible to find time to work out and make healthy foods. I'm on my way to losing about 50 lbs, and I've found that if I let him "workout" with me I can get at least a small workout done, and I try to look online for some quick and easy recipes with low calories. It's helping a lot so far.

    Okay ladies, it's been hours and no one else has responded so I say we close with what we have and get on with it. I'm going to start a thread for our 1st weigh-in. I'm going to call it Moms Losing 50 (Closed Group) so look for that thread in the Motivation and Support forum and enter your Intro and starting weight no later than the evening of Wednesday the 20th. Thanks!!

    I wouldn't mind joining. I have a daughter that is 14 months old. I have 85-100 pounds to loose. I am already down about 20. It is really hard to find time to work out but good to know I am not alone. I hope that it is not to late to join, I just found this today and I am new to the site. _Amber
