Hey everyone, I'm very new to this. I am a stay home mom, my son is almost a year and 6 months. I have been trying to lose weight on my own, with diet Zumba and lots of walking but I always give up and go back to my old ways, this time I refuse to give in. I'm currently 267 and looking to get down to about 200, so I really could use some very active and motivated friends. Let's fight this battle together!!!

    My situation is about the same as yours. I'm married and have a 6 year old son and a 1 1/2 year old daughter. I'm looking to loose about 60+ lbs. I was working full time over the summer but I'm dropping down to part time in the fall. I didn't feel that I had the energy to start loosing the weight until about a year and a half after I had my daughter. But I have already lost 6 lbs and it is really motivating. How is your weight loss going?

    Add me too! I'm actually going to be doing Zumba tomorrow to shred some extra water weight. I'm 211 lbs I use to be 242 when I started on here. What really gave me a kick-start to lose weight was Intermittent Fasting and exercise.

    I've lost well over 100 and have probably another 20-30 to go. I do both cardio and weight training. I don't believe in "diets", every one I have ever tried ended in failure. I had to change my lifestyle little by little, then the weight came off and is staying off.

    Feel free to add me. I know exactly how hard it can be at times. And how rewarding it is every time you see progress.

    Hey, I'm a single stay of home parent and my daughter is 17 months old. I've lost 21lb so far in 4 weeks but still need to lose 50-60lb. It's so hard to find time to exercise so i have to get my mum to watch my daughter so I can do some. Or we just go for a nice long walk with our dog. Feel free to add me X

    I am a full-time doctoral student and I work 20 hours a week at the university. Although I was already overweight when I started my program, I have continued to gain weight and have become more sedentary. I am starting with the goal of losing 50 lbs. I would love to provide and receive support from others who are in the same boat. Please feel free to add me!
