    7 months is very doable as long as you stay committed. Good luck and stay positive, if you have a bad day don't give up get right back on the wagon.

    Excellent! I have 3 kids and 42 lbs to get to my goal as well. Well, that's what's left since I've already lost 35. :)

    Now get to it! ;)

    I have the same to lose after packing on the pounds during my pregnancy, how does that happen so easily any way? Good luck to all of us.

    Welcome aboard, @Littletoepeep ! Your goals are so very doable. The hardest part is staying motivated. Fortunately, you've found a way to do it right here on MFP. You've got the forums, and you can add friends to help keep you there. I even fell off the wagon bad this past weekend, and my friends are helping me get back on track.

    Anyway, if you wish, feel free to add me. I'll pay it forward and keep you motivated if I can :)

    My oldest is 20, then the other two are 13 and 11. My "baby weight" excuse is no longer valid. :)
