HI Everybody!

I know I am not the only one out there but I can't find a group unless I am missing it somewhere! Anybody interested in joining me on this journey? I started Dec 28th and fell off the wagon this summer but am back again...

I am 31 will be 32 this month! Mother to 3.5 year old twins. I am currently working towards my Masters in HR while being a SAHM.

Hope to have some company!

    I too am looking to lose about 100 lbs, I started a couple months ago and am down just over 15.

    I too am 32 and my twins are 20 months (boy/girl). I work out of the home and I don't know how you manage being a student and toddler wrangling. I am way impressed.

    Friend me if you would like.

    I have a little over 100lbs to loose as well....whew, that's a lot of weight! My current goal is to loose 10lbs...and the next one is to fit into a pair of jeans that would be too big right now had I stayed on the wagon. My difficulties right now are just listening to all the people who say they have "accepted their fat". I just can't believe that. It is discouraging that alot of people around me are either trying to loose weight and aren't or can't seem to find the motivation.

    I am a 31yr SAHM of two. A daughter who is 8 and a son who is 3 (almost 4!). I have gone back to school for an AS in Human Services. Once I do that I may get a BA, or go for something in education to teach elementary. Lots of options!

    I want to loose weight so I feel more comfortable in my own skin, for my health, and to show my kids how to be healthier.

    I just went for a 40 minute walk with my kids...I pushed them a little bit tooo far I think :) haha I had one on my back one on my hip and holding the dog for the last 1/3 of it...well combined they are just a little over 55 lbs so almost what it was like to carry my old weight and a sack of flour and sugar around! haha

    Note to self tomorrow night NOT so far! :)

    So how is everybody doing today? What are you doing for exercise?

    I am did Just Dance 2. Used my HRM today since I have it I should use it right :)

    Hi everyone!

    I'm relatively new to MFP - joined back in May, but didn't really use it until just this month.

    I really have over 150 to lose, but right now I'm aiming for a goal weight of 200, which is "just" 135 pounds away. Once I get there, I'll see about getting down to 180 or 175.

    I'm pretty excited today because I weighed in for the first time since 8/1 and was almost 9# down. Considering I expected a significant gain, that definitely made my day.

    Anyone who wants to chat more, feel free to add me! :)

    This sounds like a great group! I sure need some inspiration. I lost 23 pounds and gained half back. Spending most of a month out of town for work did me in. I just can't get my mojo back! I have the trackers on my Droid. I wish I could get the groups there too.
