edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
I am a mom to a 7 yr old, a 21 month old and an almost 3 month old. I want/need to lose weight but have really been lacking motivation. I'm sure part of it is because I just gave birth to my 3rd child recently. But I am just a typical busy mom who is having a hard time putting my needs first (eating right, making time for exercise etc ) but, I am ready to lose this weight! No more excuses :)
Hopefully I can find some support/motivation through this site.

    Right there with ya!! I had my 3 kids at almost the same time span as you! When you have kids that close it is very easy to lose track of doing things for you!! My youngest was a preemie so that was hardest for me! I had 3 kids all under the age of 5 1/2! Stick with it!! I have been doing this for about 6 weeks and have lost almost 10 lbs! You can do it!!!
