    I'm a 36 year old mom and have been on the Slow Carb Diet (4 Hour Body) for 6 months. The results are terrific but very slow (I've lost 22 lbs). I love that there's a full-blown cheat day once a week! Feel free to add me :-)

    @abudrow: As far as limiting calories without starving, I am eating a lot of fresh veggies and fruit. Most fresh veggies have little calories, so you can eat them until you are full. As far as working out goes, I have a stationary bike. I ride it 30 minutes every morning before the kids get up. It gives me a good burn and although I dread doing it every morning, I feel so much better when I'm done!

    Hello! I am still coming to terms with turning 30 but am fast approching 31 in Nov! EEK! I have 2 lovely girls a 1yr old and a 3yr old. Finally had enough of always being a UK size 16/18 and decided to lose some weight. Got a minimum of 64lbs to lose.

    Been using MFP for about two weeks now but this is my first post. I am loving this website and have read some very inspirational posts. Hopefully one day I will be posting my own sucess story! I don't have time for the gym so am currently relying on workout DVD's and my Zumba Wii which my daughters love doing with me :o) Hoping to start the 30-Day shred on Aug 1st.

    It's all about changing our habits for the better! Goodluck to everyone on their weightloss journey! :o)

    I also don't have time for the gym...I have an 18 month old, and my hubby works evenings. So I've been doing workout DVDs, but have been wanting to try Wii zumba.

    Hello! I'm a 30 year old single mom of a 4 yr old little boy. I've been in the Navy 12 years, but started a desk job recently and its really started to make the pounds start to add on. (7 lbs in 3 mos!) So, now I'm trying to reverse the trend and get down to a far healthier weight. I'm currently 165 lbs and want to get to 120 lbs since I'm only 5'4"! I'd love to have some friends along for support, so please add me! I just started MFP yesterday, and so far, LOVE it. Changing eating habits and got the gym membership which I plan on using 5 days a week... Good luck to all of you on your journeys as well!!!!

    I find that it's really hard now that I am in my 30's to lose it. When I was younger, before my first child and even after, if I exercised like I am now, it would fall off.

    I have been walking for 4 months. First on flat surfaces, then hills, now I have added biking to my mix and it's not falling off.

    I wish I knew then (in my 20's) what I know now! I had my twins one year ago and in between my oldest and the twins, let myself go. I wish I hadn't done that!

    36, busy mom of 3 boys 19, 12, and 1. current weight is 227 @ 5' 5". NEED to lose weight but can't seem to find time to work out or the will power to keep food out of my mouth! I'm gonna need some serious help! I have a friend who limits herself to 1200 calories a day and works out 5 days a week. She just met her goal of losing 50 lbs in 3 months. (she has no kids)
    I have been using "myfitnesspal" to track my food intake over the past few days and OMG...no wonder I'm overweight. Does anyone have any ideas on how to limit my calories without starving? And also...how to incorporate some exercise into my busy schedule! :) Thanks for any ideas!

    Amy

    I hear you. Even though I have only one boy I seem to always be busy with him or work.
    Squeezing at least a little bit of walking in during coffee break helps - and gets me motivated to do something when he's finally asleep...

    Hey guys!
    Even though I joined MFP almost a year ago, I never stuck with it and am hoping this time I will; motivation and support from others will certainly help! I am 5'6" and need to lose 50-60 lbs. I've been doing workout videos through exercise.tv and I just finished week 2 of C25K.

    Thanks for posting this! I signed up a few months ago but did not really stick to logging in daily as I was using some other online programs as well. I have found this one is the best and am excited to really get into it and that includes adding friends for mutual support!
