Hello, I'm looking for a support; people to motivate and keep each other on track! I'm in my mid 30's with 3 young children. I primarily stay home, aside from working in a dental office 10 hrs a week. i have been on an on and off again journey of weight-loss for the past 6 yrs. It's mainly due to being pregnant and/or nursing for the last 7 yrs straight, but i had my last child almost 2 yrs ago and i need to get down to a healthy weight; pre pregnancy weight. I'm having a hard time getting it off. Im at the weight i was when i delivered my last child. Now it's time for support and motivation! My family has moved all over the country every 2 years for the past 6 years, so finding local support is tough. Any mom's out there wanting to motivate and support each other, please add me!! I log all my food and i have a fitbit that i use. The struggle is real!!!

    Hello!! 36 year old mom of a 2 year old! This is my latest attempt at weight loss. Have a good 100 lbs to lose. I have been eyeing weight watchers for a week now because I need that accountability from the meetings. But it's not with in my budget. I want to save those funds for my new clothes (I hope). Add me here or on Fitbit [edited by mods]

    Hi all you beautiful ladies. I am 41 mother of a 2 yr old girl :) i am a nurse and work the 3-11 shift. Which turns into 3-2 or 3am shift i run all night at work and when i get home I'm exhuasted. I have zero energy to get on the treadmill. I have been stuck as the same wt for a few months. In getting discouraged. I don't have a lot of friends here to go and work out with or anything like that. I try to walk a lot When I'm not at home. On my days off I'm so tired I have to get bills done, get the house in order, and still be able to still play with my daughter. I feel like I'm at a standstill because I'm so exhausted from work.
    I stopped logging my food because it will constantly telling me all your oh you're under your calories we wont log them or show them. I know s*** I've been running my *kitten* off at work all day excuse my language didn't have time to eat so I stopped login. I'm going to get back on that just looking for some support just like you ladies I don't know where you're at Pasco County Florida. Thanks for listening add me as a friend if you'd like ♡

    I'm a 35 year old mother of 2 (9 & 3). I can't seem to get motivated to get back on track either. Last year, I was down to 177 and let myself go. I had my annual appointment this morning and weighed 201. :s:'( My scale at home said 197.7, but that was first thing this morning and naked. We are going to the beach in 6 months and I would love to be 25-30 pounds down by then. I would love some motivating and supportive friends on here!

    I'm also a stay at home mom of a 5 and 2 year old. After my last baby, I have managed to lose another 15 to 20 pounds. Kept the weight off now about two and a half years.

    I use a Fitbit too. Love it!!!!


    We all need motivation and support. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    I'm a 31 year old mother of 2 girls (7 & 4). I work full time outside the house so finding time for exercise can be a challenge. I was overweight my whole life and lost 75lbs back when I was 18. Fast forward to a wedding and a baby and I put all that weight back on. I was naive in thinking when I got pregnant with #1 that I could eat for 2 and not gain weight. I lost some until I got pregnant (surprise!) again with #2. I've kept about 50 extra pounds on me that I've been trying to take off the last 3 years. I'm down about 15lbs in the last year....now I'm focused on eating in a deficit everyday. Hoping this is my year! Feel free to add me!!
