    Can you give some tips on what you did? How long did it take you to lose that many lbs? That is GREAT

    @chloeesweets15 , it all about self control, stay below your calorie goal each day. I am the type that if I cheat then I totally go off the rails it takes me months to get back to normal so I didn't eat any of my birthday cake on my birthday. It took me @ 5 months to lose 50lbs and still need to lose another 30lb. If you want it, then NEVER give up on yourself!! You can do this!!

    I have 3 puppies, and 1 boy who has lots of energy, since this year started most of the year I have been working from home and have a sedentary life not as active as I used to be. I also need to lose 50 lbs, and it's all about self discipline and being consistent, and you all will be able to achieve this goal. I have used this site before after I had my son and I lost about 60 lbs in about 6 months. I used a very strict diet and exercise.

    I have gained 20 lbs starting a business and then the pandemic. Getting back on track. I'm not waiting for the New Year. I was around 175 in this pic and now at 195. Committed to 12-days to Christmas challenge. I'm sore.

    I usually wait until they are down for nap/rest time (mine are all under 8 years old). If they are awake and I try to work out, I get so stressed.

    Yeah, I work full time so I can't during the day. I am not a morning person so its so hard to get out of bed early. By the time I'm done with the kids and cleaning up ita about 10pm. I hate to work out so late but I think its the only option right now. Let's keep in touch!

    U can click on the persons name, pic and then there is a button with 2 people. Click that and it should send a request. There might be an easier way but I haven't found it yet. Lol

    Hi there . I am mom to 3 and need to lose closer to 80 pounds. I understand the struggles of weight gain since the pandemic started. I moved during the beginning of covid, started a new job, and put on all of the weight i had previously lose. I'm looking for like minded moms as friends. maybe we can help motivate each other and hold each other accountable. Feel free to add me 😊

    Involve/incorporate your kids in your workouts! I used to take them to school by bike, switched to walking (with an extra loop whenever possible). We also try to go for a long walk with the kids during te weekend (pushing a stroller is extra exercise!!), take bike-rides or go swimming with your kids. My eldest (5 years old) rides his bike beside me when I go for a run (5-10k).
    It is also ok to take time to exercise. We moms tend to always put our families first, but it is allowed to put yourself first for a few hours a week ;)...
