I am starting the journey (again!) to lose weight. I'm a 30-something Mom to two kiddos (6 and 2) with a full-time job. Looking for some accountability partners in a similar stage of life to encourage and motivate one another.

    I'm near the end of the loss part of my journey but am finding it difficult to maintain and keep it off (lost approx. 95 this time around). I have to little boys 4 & 2, formally working strictly from home but now am back in the office part of the time.

    Feel free to add me if you would like!

    I'm a working mom to 3 kids (7,6,5). I've lost 36lbs with about 20lbs to go, but I've been slacking a bit so the weight loss is s.l.o.w.

    Hello! I'm in the same boat.. 32 yrs old, mom of a 2 year old and work full time. I recently reached my goal weight, but am continuing to stay at maintenance, or maybe even lose a few more.. we'll see what happens.

    Add me! I mean I only have one little man who is 3 (and not so little) but am first trying to get to pre pregnancy weight of 155lbs (7 pounds to go), and then lose another 20-30 more pounds (I will determine the end results when I get there). I'm currently 5'2" and 161.8lbs. :-)

    You can add me. I am a 37 mom to a 13 y.o who works out of the house an average of 11 hours a day thanks to a crazy commute.

    I'm needing to lose 30 pounds but mostly am trying to break certain habit (e.g. Eating out and emotional eating) and find a way to work fitness back in.
