Hi! I'm 34 and my daughter is 2 years old. We live in NJ close to NYC. Like hubn8147, my weight has been up and down as well. When my daughter, B, was breastfeeding, I didn't lose the weight like I thought I would. We've since stopped, but I keep eating for two - and definitely not healthy choices.

I'm hoping to find some motivation to move more and prepare better meals for my family. Thanks for creating the group!

Hi, I'm Melissa and 31, from Pittsburgh. I have two kids (3 and 13 months). We had a rough year when our second was born - I was hospitalized for a month before he came and then he spent 5 weeks in the NICU, followed by open heart surgery. All is finally settling down now and returning to normal, and I need to lose baby weight plus lots of stress eating weight. I'm also still breastfeeding.

I lost 50 pounds prior to having kids so I know I can do this but its so much harder now and so much slower. I've been getting as much walking in as I can and watching my calories. I'd also like to do couch to 5k again!

Hello, I am 35 years old with a 2 1/2 year old son and I work full time in law enforcement which means shift work. On the 28th of May, I started the Beachbody program "80 Day Obsession" and I am finally taking time for myself to eat healthy and exercise daily. I want my son to grow up feeling strong, healthy and not worried about his weight. He is already watching me and tells me to exercise LOL I am also running a 10km and half marathon this year so trying to fit runs into my life as well. Best thing is that I get to spend time with my son on runs and he gets mad when I slow down or walk. He is a drill Sgt!!!! I would love the motivation when my eating or exercising aren't on point or when I start to self-sabotage with negative thoughts and words.

I would like to lose around 20 pounds and just be able to fit into my clothes comfortably.
