    I am not a SAHM, but I am of mother of four with a paying full time job(plus the one I get lucky enough to get paid in kisses, hugs, and sometimes chaos). I know how important it is to have a great support system to get you through your journey, and I have lost almost 50 pounds with the help of this site. I have tried diet after diet, and it never helped, long term anyway. So I feel what you are going through, but you are strong enough to do this and you have all the help in the world on here. I wish you the best of luck and please feel free to add me if you wish!

    I remember writing my first thread requesting support and friendship when I started on here in September of last year. I would have to say the friends I gained from that were an inspiration for me and still to this day push me. This is an amazing site and I think if one sticks with it and has those committed friends to help, you can achieve any goal you want! You are welcome to add me and I will try my best to be a good MFP'er :flowerforyou:

    Diet is a horrible word! I prefer lifestyle change. That's what this is for me. Making healthier choices and exercising. Joining some of the groups is a great way to keep motivated, at least is has been for me. I am on my 16th day of Jillian's 30 Day Shred, and it's kicked my butt, however looking at my results, every single pound lost has been earned, not to mention the 5" off my waist and 3" off my chest, in just that short amount of time. If you need support you can add me!

    I too, am adopting the "no diet" mindset! I've been a yo-yoer for years and have never been successful in my loss because I deprived myself to get there! We can do this together - please feel free to add me! I love this site, it's nice to have company along the way!

    P.S. - you challenged my mind abit with the "SAHM" - after a few minutes (maybe, longer) I figured it out :happy:

    Awesome stuff. I refuse to use the word diet. When I finally decided to change my life I referred to it as a "lifestyle change" and I stick by that. I was definitely killing myself, so the term seemed more appropriate than "diet." A diet is usually temporary, but a lifestyle change can be permanent.

    Myfitnesspal is a cool site. I also recommend 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet. I'm a member there but I haven't been in a while. I also bought a journal and joined Blogger so I could keep track of my mind during this journey. It's good to write and then look back and see how your mindset changes while losing weight.
