Hi all,

I’ve been around MFP for awhile but I’m looking for some new friends to help motivate me with my weight loss and fitness goals. I had baby number 2 in November 2019 and while I’ve lost all the weight I gained, I still have another 20lbs from baby number 1 who is six. I’m currently working from home (thankful to still have my job) and it’s stressful plus the hubby is now unemployed. I used to run and be way more active but now can’t seem to be motivated to do anything. We take walks as a family as the weather permits but since we live in a big city, social distancing sometimes forces us just to stay home. I have an elliptical, two sets of free weights and a couple kettlebells so again, no excuse not to exercise but I just can’t ever seem to get around to it. Looking for some friends to help get me off my butt!!

    I'm losing now after not losing a thing when I gave birth to baby 2 in January 2019. 15 lbs to go out of 20!

    I have a 3 year old and an 11 month old so feel you on this! I feel like I’m snacking all day and barely moving my body lately. Ive noticed my scale inching up and none of my clothes fit. I have about 20-30 lb to lose and could really use some motivation.

    I have an 8, 7, and 6 year old and just had a baby in March. It’s really hard to find motivation most days.. Especially while homeschooling my kids right now with covid. Feel free to add me! I have about 35-40lbs to lose and could use the accountability too!
