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.

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.0

Hey! If it's not too late I would love to join the group! I am a mom of two girls, Halle- 9 and Zoe- 18 mos. I am currently at 230 and need to lose 80 lbs. I need some definite motivation and being in a group like this would be awesome! I know how hard it is to be a mom and try to find time to exercise as well as eat properly when your kids are constantly whining for McDonald's and ice cream and cookies! Whew! It makes me tired just thinking about it! LOL Here's to us ladies! Let's get it done!!

I would be interested in joining your group if it's not too late. I am a Mom of 3 beautiful daughters ages 7, 6 and 2. I lost a lot of weight after having our 2nd daughter and have since gained all of it plus much more back. I have approx. 70 lbs to lose and could really use the support.0
