My name is Laura, I am 35 and I am married and have 5 kids! After having my kids I was back in my pre-pregnancy jeans within 6 weeks. However about 2 1/2 years ago I quit smoking and 2 years ago I donated my kidney to my dad, so between the two I have gained about 40 lbs. I have already lost some and put some back on. I am ready to get serious and make some changes. I would be happy to have some friends on here to support each other! Thank you and good luck to all on your journey!

    Hello! My name is Alaina. I am 36 years old and a mother to 10 year old twin boys and a 15 year old son. My Doctor put me on some hormones to help with my period and I gained 18 pounds this past year. I just went off of them this past week and am feeling so much better!! My pre-pregnancy weight with all my boys was 134 and that is still a little more than I want to weigh. I am also running in my first 1/2 marathon on October 16th, 5 days before my 37th birthday. I just need some friends who want the same results!! Looking forward to a healthier and leaner me soon!!

    Hi, My name is Mary and I'm only starting too. As a lady on the wrong side of 40, I need to get control on my weight. A week into My Fitness Pal and I've lost 2lbs, still slow and steady wins the race, I guess. Let's hope I can keep the motivation going. Good luck to you all too.:smile:

    Welcome Laura! This is a great site for motivation. I've been here less than 2 weeks and feel really positive I can lose the weight this time. Feel free to add me as a friend.
