Also new here! I am trying to lose baby weight and then some. I'm 5'9, and was at 216 post baby #3. (I was at 179 before baby #3 - which was a little high for me). I lost down to 185 on my own, and began MFP at the beginning of this month to help me with the rest. I'd like to get down to 160.0

Hi Guys! I've been here since Sept 2010 ~ I'm a mom of 6 busy children!
A few things that help me stop drinking soda, choc., chips and drink more WATER ( which you really need to lose that weight)!!
You really need to eat every 21/2 -3 hours healthy eating ~ your body needs it or it thinks your starving it again!
If your not drinking 8-10 glasses of water, you better get on that now. Add MIO to flavor it ( it really taste yummy or lemon) I can drink up to 12/14 glasses now!
If you think of soda as battery acid because it can eat it~ you will stop drinking it I did.
If you can switch one treat a day ~ just one your on the right path. Then each week add anther one until you get up to 3! You will never be hungry! Here is some of my favorite ~ Almonds 8 (it really will fill you/ and its full of protein), oranges, bananas, smoothies (homemade), celery peanut/butter,apples peanut butter, 5 crackers w/laughing cow chees

The last time I checked I was 190 which was in December, I am on a No Scale Challenge till Valentines Day. I would love to get down to 145-150 for my height which is 5'6.0

Hi everyone! I am new to this website and am looking for supportive friends
I am a 23 year old mother of 1, a full time student, and an Army wife. I am looking to lose weight because I want to set a good example for my son and my husband and I want to expand our family. I've got about 75lbs to go! 0 -
Hi, I'm new to the community but not new to MFP. I'm a SAHM of 2, my husband and I have a 3 year old daughter and a 19 month old son. We are from south Mississippi and I am trying to lose weight for several reasons, I definitely want to set a good example for my kids to help them lead a healthy life, I also want to do it for myself because I hate the way I look and I definitely don't feel good about myself, of course I also want to do it to make my husband proud, but the most important reason is because I want to be healthy & where I'm at now is not healthy. I'm 5' 5" and weighed 162 when I got started based on my doctor's scale and am now at 155.4 in 2 weeks. My sister-in-law is getting married in April and I really want to feel good in my bridesmaid dress.
My overall goal is to get to 125 or 130 which is what my doctor says is healthy.0 -

Im a mom to a preschooler and a teenager ( almost 15 and almost 5)... I work and go to school.
Im looking for others who want to get back into shape, too, and it looks like an awesome place. I have been doing this for a week, and I LOVE it! I have never been able to keep a food diary to save my life and I have!
I also just joined the YMCA, and have gone 3 days already this week.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone.0 -

Hi I'm new to the group. I don't usually do the group/blog thing but here I am. I am a sahm of 4 ages 7, 5, 3, 1. I find it hard to stay on track with a diet and exercise program. I don't feel good in my skin and I want to get to that place. I want to be a good example to my kids and my husband. I want to feel healthy and confident. Not fat and lazy. I love food and diet coke, and I love cooking. I need to find a balance and make better food choices. I'm excited to get back on track and stop making excuses. I hope I stay motivated, good luck to all!0

Hi! 41 year old Mom of five great kids, ages 15, 13, 11, 7, and terrible two! I gained about ten pounds after each of my pregnancies, so those 50 are my goal. Mostly, I want to be under 164 by the end of the summer and have a healthy BMI. I would say I am a stay at home mom, but I have five kids and am never home (piano lessons, boy scouts, church activities....)
Always up to additional friends, support!0 -
Hi there my name is Isabel I am new to mfp. I am a stay at home mom to my almost 12 month old. Before my pregnancy I was 120 lbs at the end of it I was 200 lbs.

Just looking for other mamas to help keep me motivated. :bigsmile:0

Hi,
I am staci and I'm 39. My son is almost 2 years old. Gained 85 lbs when I was pregnant....lost 30 on maternity leave and then stagnated. I started slowly gaining weight back after I got overwhelmed with my job and new mom responsibility. I joined this app and recommitted last July. I lost another 30 lbs, and now I am fluctuating up and down...just started working out again and am looking for motivation to lose the last 20-30 lbs.0 -
