Hi! I am new to the site and looking for supportive friends with a similar situation! I'm 33, married and have two girls ages 6 and 8. I work full time as an RN and am also going back to school! I want to lose about 12 pounds and feel good in my bikini again!
Anyone feel free to friend me! :smile:

    Hi girls I am 27 with a 2 year old beautiful girl I have lost 6 stone so far and would love to loose 3 more but finding this bit really hard. I work full time as well as my partner , he also works weekends so finding the time to have to myself and exercise is almost impossible so I make up for it in the amount I clean my home! That way we all benefit! X hope you are all doing well and on your way to achieving your goals x Tracy

    Hi to all. I am also an RN working nights and raising a little girl who is 2 years old. Finding time to work out and sleep is my biggest challenge. I have about 40 lbs to loose and am ready to get fit so I can get pregnant with our second. I also struggle with emotional eating and eating when I am bored (or trying to stay awake at work). Any advice on how to keep from eating the junk in our breakroom at 3am? :) Looking forward to getting this weight off!

    Hi everyone. I'm using my fitness pal again to help me get back on the straight and narrow! It's a great tool to keeping you motivated and having a postive attitude.

    I'm a Mum to two great kids. One Daughter aged nine and one son aged 3. Both keep me very busy and happy. I work part time for the NHS and I try and keep fit by going running 3 to 4 times a week.

    Would love to hear from other mum's juggling a busy family life as well as looking after yourself!

    Best wishes
    Sara

    Hi

    I am 29 and just hd a baby boy on November 7. I work fulltime as an office manager and am so tired by the time I get home, feed the baby, make dinner and straighten up! I'm trying to lose the rest of the baby weight and a little extra!

    Hi I'm a 34 year old mum of one bouncy little 2 1/2 year old girl in the UK... I have put on 2 stone over the past 2 years (annoying as I lost all my baby weight by the time my daughter was 6 months!), started on MFP about 3 weeks ago, and feel free to add me as a friend.

    Hello. I'm a single working mother of 2 teenage sons. I am on a weight loss and exercise journey. I found out I have diabetes and that is the biggest wake up call ever. Please feel free to add me. I need all the support I can get. Love the site, it is so helpful!
    Take care of you,
    Monica
