Hi Mommas!!

Options
Hello! I am new to the group and just wanted to introduce myself. I am a busy working mom/wife of, just one little toddler, but some days it feels like 10. =) With all the responsibility of a child, work and home, it's hard to find time to dedicate to fitness, but with a community such as MFP, it makes it easier to want to do the exercises and diets since others are watching you!

I weighed 145 pre pregnancy and topped out at 200 delivery day. I did everything right, ate right, exercised, etc. And still gained the weight. That's the norm in my family however. A year and half into motherhood I am down to 169, with my ultimate goal of 145 again. I am looking forward to meeting some other moms out there for support and encouragement, as well as myself encouraging you! Feel free to add me and LETS DO THIS MOMMAS!!!!!

    Hi CountryMomma! I joined MFP yesterday and I am looking for encouragement and support also!!!! I have 4 kids and work part time over nights so I feel you on finding time for fitness can be diffucult. I have a gym membership and dvd's at home and a track across the street and decided no more excuses. So here I am. Would appreciate any support and encouragement :happy:

    I just joined this group; I'm on this site to watch what I eat daily. I'm 47 and decided to do a triathalon April 30. Being 40lbs over weight I am eager to lose it by counting calories and with the help of my new ifit program I purchased for my treadmill (aka clothes rack). I cleaned off the clothes, put them in the closet last week and started the ifit level I. Jillian Micheals wasn't my favorite person but I am getting use to the work out, especially since after 6 days I am down one size; 18 down to a 16, woohoo! I'm sure my triathalon finish won't be a pretty one, I just want to finish!! And hopefully by the end of the season, I won't be one of the last place finishers!! I have two of my four children pushing me to train and they plan on doing the races with me. I'm so excited!

    Hi--I'm Dani, new to this group, but have been fluttering around MFP for a little while. I am so ready to not be the fat mom anymore! I'm ready to find my inner vixen--the last time I saw her was in college! I'm tired of all of my clothes having a "--teen" after the number (ie: 8-teen, 6-teen) or a big W (ie: 20W, 22W). Dammit--I want to be able to walk into a store, see something I like and buy it, right off the rack, without moaning and groaning about how they don't make cute clothes in MY size. I will never be a size 2--I'd be happy with a 10-12. I need all the motivation and support that I can get. In exchange, I will be your cheerleader too, always in your corner, sometimes giving you the kick in the *kitten* that you need!
    Love you all!
    Dani

    Hi there! My name is SJ and I just joined the group today. I have been on MFP for awhile but have made the commitment to make it a priority. I have had 3 kids in 5 years and my body/weight is a mess. I have done anything and everything and finally get it really has to be a lifestyle change.My youngest is 9 months and I am finally making the time to take care of me. I am dedicated to the hardwork and discipline it is going to take. I am excited to take this journey with all of you!
