Hi there!
Looking for motivated and encouraging friends to journey with!

I'm a mom of 4, and with my last two pregnancies I really let myself go gaining a good 80lbs.
I am 5'8.5" currently 264. I gain pretty evenly all over and tend to lose pretty evenly all over. I have in mind mini goals of 10lbs to work towards but ideally would like to see the scale hit 150lbs-160lbs.

Would love to make buds with some ladies with similar stats! Please message/add me and we can cheer and push each other along! :smiley:

    I'm a mom of 4 too. Currently weigh 226 and trying to get to 150-160 as well. I've been eating 1200 calories and exercising for three days now. Good luck

    I'm a mom of two, 5'8" and currently 216 down from 231. Ideally Id like to get to 160.
    I started Keto four weeks ago, it is a good way of eating for me. I find that I eat less and don't have the hunger and cravings while I'm eating less carbs. I still track calories, but the very low carb makes it easier to stay below my daily calories.

    I'm a tall mom, but I'm on my last 15-20 lbs at this point. 5'9 160 lb (GW145ish) and 1 kiddo who is 12. In the words of the poet-philosopher Meatloaf, "Two out of three ain't bad."

    Awesome job!

    I've spent the last week tracking what I typically eat just to see how bad it is.. and I definitely see where my calories are going. I plan to really cut back on carbs and processed sugars. I find with little kids, and nursing I have a tendency to starve and binge which I'd like to correct!

    I'm a short not a tall mom, but can say yes to motivated and yes to similar weight stats! I am currently 244, with a goal weight of 140. I am down 20 pounds. I started work on this back in February.
