    I am a mom of 2 as well and am determined to get in shape, which is why I joined MFP. I found that I used to not eat enough calories a day, which was causing my body to go into a "starvation mode" so to speak and I stopped losing weight. Anything I did eat, would turn to fat because my body stored it that way because I didn't eat right.

    My best suggestion would be to make sure you stay under your calories, but not under 1200, try to drink your 8 glasses of water a day, and I'm not sure how old the kids are, but if you can work in some type of activity (it could be even cleaning the house) most everything counts, make sure you log it in.

    Feel free to friend me if you'd like. I will provide as much support as I can. Remember, we are all in this together! :)

    Dad of two, been watching what I have been eating for 3 weeks now, moderately active with my boys, cutting out my 2 glasses of wine in the evening (not today...) ), take weekends off but don't go overboard... have lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks!! I feel better about myself! Got motivated when I went to Dr. and he said at my weight of 220 then that I was .3 lbs into the "obese" category!!! That was hard to hear!!!! I have always been slim all my life except for the last 3 years and the weight just crept up on me. My goal is 190. I love the food tracker, it really makes you realize how much calories are in the foods I eat. Keep at it!!!

    @cyrenamae - starting on this site is a great move! There are lots of encouraging folks trying to get in shape; and giving advice, encouragement, and support. Take it from a mom of 5, this is not easy! You can only do it for you though, and keep in mind, the healthier you are, the healthier your kids will be. They take their cues from you! Good Luck!
