Mom of 2 looking for accountability partners!

Hi everyone!
I am a mom of 2 boys, my youngest is just 3 months old!
Anyways, I would LOVE to get this baby weight moving plus some and I need some accountability partners! I also exclusively breastfeed so that helps but after the first couple months it hasn’t helped all that much 😂 of course that could be my fault since I have a hard time controlling my cravings sometimes especially with sweets! 😫
I would love to meet some other moms that would like to help each other to success!
I’d love to be friends on MFP, but I would even love it more if we could have a small group on Snapchat or something so we can stay in touch a little more personally and can message each other easier and send pics of our food or post workouts or whatever! If you’re interested let me know and I can set up a private group 💕
I am currently at my highest (non-pregnant) adult weight of 244 (this last pregnancy I got up to 255 but then lost 20lbs and then gained 10 back 🥴) and I know my biggest hurdle is with food. So I am not going to box myself into a specific diet type because I’ve done that plenty of times before and all it did was destroy my mental health regarding food even worse than it was before.
I just really want to focus on eating the stuff I know I should eat and the stuff I shouldn’t I need to just keep in mind moderation and be mindful of portion sizes. I’ll be the first to admit I HATE tracking and I may not be super consistent with logging my food and I’m fine with that. I need to fix my mental health first and I know what my triggers are so I am just going to work on that. So I’m going to start with just showing up everyday and trying my best to get to a healthy place for myself and my children 💙💚
I can’t wait to start this journey and have it actually STICK this time!
Thanks friends! 🥰

Hi Im a mom of two girls aged 9 and 10. they are super active and I cant keep up it makes me so sad. I also went back to uni and am in my third year. My life is so busy that I am always eating on the fly and that usually means takeaways or freezer foods and obviously because I'm working so hard I deserve a treat every night
. I am currently 220lbs with a goal of losing 70lbs and accountability would really help. I would love if you add me thanks

Rule of thumb is that a baby exclusively breastfeeding burns about 500 cals. When it was me I only ever ate back 1/2 of those cals, but I had 60# to lose so there was no danger of me loosing my milk production.
