in Introduce Yourself
I am 33 and have about 33 more lbs. to lose. I want to find other people who is going to go after the same thing. I started dieting and exercising just 2 days ago and am looking to stick with it. I have done other diets before that did not stick but I want to get it done this time. Today I started P90x and I also started an app on my phone called Couch Potato to 5k. I hate running but want to learn to love it. I also want to do a 5k on March 17th so that is my first deadline. After that the rest of the weight I will want to lose.

Lets go guys, we can do it! :)

    Hello,

    Im a mother of two children, 30 years old and have baby weight to lose. I ordered P90X but was too scared to try it because I feel like I might need to start out with a less intense workout. Before babies I was a lot skinnier than I am now and I want to be fit again! Im new on this site and Im looking for ppl that are in the same boat. With children and feel like you have no time....lol

    Another busy mom here... I'll be 40 in March (yikes!!!!) and have three active kids. (two girls - 8 and 9 and a 3 y.o. boy) If I only had a smidgen of their energy, I wouldn't be in this situation! LOL

    Feel free to add me... I've been using MFP for 3 weeks but just starting getting on the forum this week.

    Add me to the group! I'm 31 and have 2 sons, 3 and 18 months. I went on some medication over the summer that caused me to pack on 25 lb in 5 months. So now I'm trying to lose that plus the 20 lb of baby weight I had left over. Right now I am watching my calories and trying to fit active stuff into our schedule - yesterday I chased the kids around at the playground, things like that will have to do until I can figure out what kind of formal workout I want to start with.

    My daughter just turned one. 12 months of coffee and cake meetings with other Mums has taken it toll! I want to try and get pregnant again in the second half of this year and am determined to loose weight before I do.

    I gained 50 lbs while pregnant but I was already 182 lbs when I became pregnant having lost 56 lbs on Lighter Life to get pregnant in the first place! Phew!

    Post-partum I lost about 20 lbs but still have at least 30 lbs to loose before I get back to my pre-baby weight and I would like to loose another 15 or so on top pf that. So my work is cut out for me!

    I spend a lot of time at home as I gave up my job last year so will be looking for lots of support in those weak moments...

    I'm also looking for other Mums for support so do add me...

    Mommas, feel free to add me! I've got a 3 year old and a almost 2 year old, work in real estate, and have a REALLY hard time getting my workouts in. I've done Jillian's 30 Day Shred (awesome! Six inches off my waist!) and am almost halfway through Ripped in 30. I'm a little scared of P90X, too!

    :smile: HI I am a stay at home mom to a seven year old boy. I currently have about 15-18 lbs to lose. I exercise between 4 or 5 days a week and try to keep active besides this. I like to switch up what I do such as Jillian Michaels, P90X, Turbo Fire....pretty much where ever the mood leads that day. This is my first day on MFP and I look forward to having others to share this journey with me. Feel free to add me!

    Hi! I'm looking for encouragement!! I signed up awhile ago but just started tracking everything yesterday. Hopefully I can stick with this. I'm TTC and my doctor recommended getting my BMI down. So I need to lose about 20 lbs. My problem mostly is with working out. I don't have a workout partner so it is tough to dig deep and find motivation. But now my focus is on becoming pregnant and having a healthy pregnancy. So I figure I better start laying a solid foundation now.

    Count me in!!

    Im Erin! (Hi!:) Im 30, from MN, and the mom of two boys! One who is 4.5, and one who just turned 1! I have about 30-40lbs to loose, and constantly find it difficult to find time or energy to workout! I work a FT job and by the time I get home the last thing I want to do is take my kids to the gym and put them in childcare for another hour or more.

    But, I have vowed that it is time more for me to make TIME FOR ME! So, the next 90 days are GO TIME for me!
    Id love support, encouragement from any others and would love to do the same for you!

    Hi I'm Abbey, mother of three little ones. I need to lose at least 50 lbs to be healthy. I LOVE myfitnesspal! I want to add some friends because I don't come on the computer much, mostly just on my phone and the community boards aren't on the app. I'd love to add some of you moms who need encouragement so we can keep up with each other on a day to day basis!

    I am a 39 year old mom about to turn 40. I have a son graduating in a year and I really need to drop 60 pounds. I am looking for support and would like to support others. I have a high stress job and I sit behind a desk 8-10 hours a day. I live in the midwest with asthma so being outside this time of year is tough. I would love to loose weight....it would help my asthma so much! So if you want a friend on this site hit me up. I could really use the support. I have 3 sons and a hubby that are all fit. I just want to be able to have fun with them when they are all out playing around. God bless all of you trying to do as I am! We can do this!
