    Hi feel free to add me. The hardest part is getting started....afterwards it becomes habit....then it becomes necessity! MPF has been great for me and my fiance. We're much different people now than we were even a month ago! Have the kids be active with you if you can also :)

    We sound like sisters! I just started back this week after a four month lapse. I'm trying to lose weight from 3 pregnancies also. I need to lose 1.5 to 2 stones. We can do this! :)

    Hey, I'm trying to start again too, after having a pretty bad month(pretty much eating anything!) and I've got about the same weight to lose too : ) I think the key is having support, so your welcome to add me, and we can try and help each other!
    Good luck, you can do it! Xox

    Yep, that sounds just like me! The first week is usually great... I've already lost 2 pounds in 3 days, but then life gets in the way! This time needs to be different!

    Sounds like a hella good time with the kids :) It also sounds like you know what to do....it's just a matter of getting motivated and doing it again! Just keep thinking that it's for a better you. Once you see the weight come off, you'll be motivated to do it more and more!

    I've been finding that the more dedicated I've become, the less those unhealthy foods appeal to me. It's weird but awesome at the same time. Don't get me wrong, I sometimes will crave that pizza or ice cream, but it's not nearly as much as it use to be. Your willpower will grow to the point it becomes habit and not willpower at all :)

    I don't remember when I started now & I can't find it anywhere but I wish I could say I was just starting. When I first came on, I lost some now that I think about it was probably water weight. I also have three children ages 8, 6 & 3. I love them dearly but when I think about it I wish I would have been way more careful with how much I ate while I was pregnant.
    I developed diabetes between the second & third pregnancy. My third baby was almost three pounds heavier than the first two, that was due to me not being careful of what I ate. I love to walk but if I take the boys then its not excercise because they don't really move fast enough. I feel that the way I am always doing stuff for them during the day I am moving at a good pace but its definately not enough. We bought an elliptical trainer a few years ago, so I have begun to use it but then I fell off the wagon about a month or more ago & now just can't seem to get myself moving again. I have wonderful friends on here so that really helps & I feel really bad that I am not trying harder. I can't blame it on anybody but myself, so I need to moooovvvvvveeee. Please add me & I will really try my darndest to motivate you.
