Looking for Moms!

I mean 185!

WELCOME!!!! I have 4 kids and am expecting my 5th. About a year ago, I started losing weight after being at my heaviest ever. I lost almost all I wanted before getting pregnant this time around Good luck and stick with it!! You can do it!!!

I'm a Mom of 2 as well

My oldest turned 3 back in December, and my youngest was born back in November (3.5 months). Decided to really get on track this time! Really loving that I can use MFP from my phone, when I first signed up I didn't have a smartphone and I would constantly forget to log in from my computer while I was on maternity leave.

Now that I'm back to work, and I also finally upgraded to an iphone I'm on MFP all the time!!

We're also doing Biggest Loser here at work so that is a great source of (positive) pressure because when I weigh in weekly someone else has to see it besides me! I want to shed some extra pounds for my kids, so I can keep up with them and also so I can get into those jeans tucked up in the top of my closet!!!

- and will be running a half marathon in May just to prove I can.

knowwhentoshu - that is awesome about the half marathon you're gong to run!! I would love to run a 5K sometime this year but I'm scared!

I'm a mom of 2 daughters and have lost almost 37 pounds since joining MFP in July. Thankfully my kids aren't babies any longer, they are 12 & 6, so I'm able to get some me time to hit the gym and focus on my weight loss. Feel free to add me, I also moderate a fitness group on FB that I'd be happy to talk to you about if you're interested, PM me for details.

I am 34 and have two little boys, ages 5 and 3. I am the same way most of the mom's on here seem to be...no time for Mommy! I gained 30 lbs during my pregnancy with my first son and lost about 12 of it before getting pregnant with my little one. I gained 25 lbs with him and didn't lose any of it. I breastfed both times but didn't have any success losing weight. I really am just tired of being fat. My husband is really into eating healthy and exercising so I am trying to be more like him. I have started telling my boys that Mommy has to exercise to get healthy and they have been great about giving me that time. I started at 218 lbs and am now at 211 after 3 weeks. My goal weight is 150. I would love to be friends with more moms with the same type of goals!

So now I ask this... do you all eat back your exercise calories or no? Sometimes I have a very hard time doing that 1) b/c I am just plain old full & 2) if I don't add in my calories back til the end of the day, it's too late for me to eat (I try not to eat past 7pm)

I read a thread on here - it's a long one - about many people who are not eating enough and throwing their bodies into 'starvation mode' or whatever. I'm not sure about all of that. I do know that I have been eating my calories back - although I'm not really burning a whole lot. I am doing 30DS but I don't have a HRM so I'm just logging it as 20 minutes of jogging - because I don't really know how else to track it. So, when I work out I DO eat my calories back. I don't really have a hard time doing that:embarassed: :happy:

I eat back most if not all of my exercise calories on most days. I try to ensure that I NET at least 1200 calories daily. My intake is set at 1800 and on average I NET about 1500 calories daily. It is important to be sure that you are eating enough to fuel your body and for most people a low intake of 1200 is not enough. You really do need to eat to lose.

Christine, have you tried that greek yogurt? I picked some up at the store last week I think it was Chobani brand. It makes a good snack with no fat and lots of protein. It was thick and filling too. Anyway, I liked it and was impressed.

Hey mama's!
I'm a mama to 3, 6 yr old girl, 22 month old boy, and a 4.5 month old girl. We're done having kids, and I'm done trying to point the finger at them for me gaining the weight! haha. I'm so ready to be the smallest I've ever been in my adult life. I started at 225 on the 9th of Jan. 2012, and am hitting the scales at 213.6 as of yesterday! I'm trying to workout 6 times a week, I'm on my 3rd week of P90, I've done this in the past, kinda getting bored, so was thinking of mixing it up with some different workouts. I'm excited to connect with some of you guys too! We're gonna get through this!

Hey. I'm a mom of 1 year old boy/girl twins and a 4 year old son. And I am determined to get this weight off. I have lost 20 pounds so far, but I am now at a bit of a stand still. I am doing pretty well with the workouts now, but eating could stand some work. I have also noticed that having so much support (especially from people who are in similar situations as me) has helped SO much. I want to lose about 50 more pounds so feel free to add me. Good luck!

Mom of 3 here. i was 99 kg in june (to convert to lbs, multiply that by 2.2)

Today i am 79.4kg.

I do not exercise except for walking. i fell off the 30ds wagon many many times. but i do hope to start again.

I try to keep calories below 1200 on most days. oh i am still breastfeeding my n 8 months old bab.
i am 5'7"

I will be happy to get to 70kg. but my ultimate goal is 60kg.
I am a shy mommy so you wont see me uploading pix yet...maybe when i am at 70kg i will.

Oh i have a big problem of 'apron' belly and flat butt.......
Who's with me?

Hiya,

I'm a mum to 3 young children, (6 years, 3 years and 12 weeks). I've been overweight since I had my son in 2005. Pre pregnancy weight was about 130. After my 3rd child, 175. After christmas/new year 2011, 183.

I'm 5ft 8 and I've lost 12lbs. I'm aiming to reach 130 again and hoping to do race for life this year.

Took pictures this morning, absolutely disgusting. Not ready to post until I have 'after' pictures to post to make myself feel better lol.

I am a mommy of 2 (3.5 years old girl and 2 years old boy). I work full-time. I work out after work while hubby watches the kids or at night after their bedtimes.

Hi! I'm a 29yo mother of a 3yo(turning 4 in June). I work full time and my husband is a SAHD. I am always busy doing something, unfortunately most of that "something" has me sitting on my rump! I recently started with MFP, and it really does seem to be helping, but I think my mindset is different this time too. Usually, I start to feel deprived or that it's all so complicated, and just give up. But this time, it is actually been pretty easy to stick with everything.

I started running with my husband early last year, and after quite a few months off after I injured my ankle, I finally finished C25K last week! I ran for time instead of distance, so I'm only up to 2 miles, but even that amazes me sometimes. I finally bit the bullet and signed up for my first 5K, so I'll be marking that off my list in May(Cleveland Marathon weekend)! I think getting in a routine of activity before starting to work on my diet, has helped me to stick with it more. I work so hard, that I don't want to throw it all away by going crazy on cupcakes or something(like I normally would have done). I'm

I still have a really long way to go(over 140lbs), but I'm doing my best, and not beating myself up when I trip a little along the way. :-)
