that about sums it up. i'm a mom to two kids, i work at home. im married to a pain in the *kitten* but of course i picked him, he's mine. he sabotages me with wine more often than not, but i am also a believer in not giving up the things i enjoy. i need to lose about 55 pounds total. i've already lost some by being on MFP before so i know this place works.

i am looking for kind-hearted, supportive, funny, has a sense of humor, can show me the bright side when i can't see it, can laugh at me when i'm being an *kitten* type of people .. .again, that about sums it up. you fit this? i need you!

    I sent you a request. I am also a mom of tow and run a daycare out of my home. I am working on losing about 35 pounds right now. I am also married to a pain, but I am sort of attached to him. I started my weight loss journey with the thought that it is not a temporary diet but a lifestyle change. I am in the process of changing my life which requires me to cut back on some of the things I enjoy. I haven't given up anything, but I am learning to live in moderation mode.

    I'm also a mom of 2. Had about 20 to lose when I started, and am pretty close to the goal. This site works, as you know and the encouragement you can get is great. You can add me, too :-)

    Im starting MPL again my self and work out of the home! The one thing i do have is a positive attitude on life and basically everything! I am a firm believer in having others to help you push through when your at that breaking point of wanting to give in just once and then again and again. My mom always told me "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!" I gained alot after college and at this point i need to loose 30 more to be at my final goal weight. So with this program and a support group we can do it!!!! So i am here to help with eating and exercising!! So just call out when you need it, im always around, i work out of my house lol!

    Hi, I'm a mom of 3...also married to a pain in the *kitten* LOL, the worse part is that he is a fit, eating machine that doesn't gain an ounce!!!!! I blame him for my weight cause I think I gained most of eat just watching him eat!!!!:grumble:(just joking) but it frustrates the heck out of me! I'm only joined on Monday and I can always use more friends to keep me in line:wink: Please feel free to add me! Good luck!!!

    I have been searching for people like this too. I have 3 kids and a pain for a husband, but he works, comes home, and every now and then helps with the house. I am a Tupperware consultant and I would love to be under 200 lbs. I enjoy encouraging others, but I know it's nice to get it back. If you think I am right for you add me.
