I just turned 30 and celebrated my 5 year anniversary. I just had my second kid in December which was a c-section so I have a lot to lose off my tummy. I am 5' 3" and 171lbs. I hope to be 140 by next year....I need friends, I need motivation....My starting picture is to come...

    :flowerforyou: Hi, I am a 46 year old wife, mother, teacher, grandmother (step-grandmother, but still a grandmother!). I've been on a diet my whole life (or at least pretending I was). I will be glad to encourage you and to be your accountability partner. Would you do the same for me?

    I started my weight loss journey at 234 lbs. I am now 189. When I first started, it took me thirty minutes to walk a mile. TODAY I walked/jogged a mile in 14:48. I still have a long way to go to reach 135, but I'm taking it one day at a time.

    As you finish today, make sure you've gotten in your 8 glasses of water (8 ounces each). Did you have a chance to move today (other than chasing a child? :happy: ) Even in the craziest times, take some moments for yourself. YOU are worth it!

    So, I am a bit older, 38, have had 5 c sections and 1 normal delivery - believe me I totally get the tummy area that needs to go. I think some of mine is scar tissue and may never naturally go away, but I call it my battle scar and wear it with honor. I am always looking for friends too. Add me if you are still needing help. Good luck. We can do this. One day at a time.

    I'm 34 with 2 kids. The youngest is 9 months, so I've got a lot to lose. Was over 200 pounds Christmas time. I'm now 19 pounds lighter, but still looking at another 40-50 (preferably 50) pounds left to lose.

    Feel free to add me. I'm trying to make it a more routine part of my day to be and log in here. Kinda my guilt trip to myself if I don't have something positive to put on here, you know?

    I'm 34 yr old mom of an 18 month boy. Anyone can add me I can use the motivation and can motivate as well.

    I started six weeks ago and have not made many friends.

    My wife and I just joined the site and think its great... I hope you all beat your goals and keep going... I was one of those that was like 300lbs.. never happen to me... Well, a week ago I stepped on the scale and was 299... Wake up call!

    I started that day... Down to 286 already so it can be done! Got to make time for yourself... If you got kids get them moving too... Good Luck all and feel free to add..

    I thought I was the only one in this boat-I guess not;)

    Anyone feel free to add me.

    I am a stay at home mom of an 18 mos old and had a c-section (2 mos early). Part of the weight is from that, part from being fat all my life, part from quitting smoking, and part from a serious health issue last year.

    I started at 255 and am now at 228. I work out 5 days a week (1 day is just yoga) and changed my diet/lifestyle. Trying to cook for a family and yourself in the same meal when you are the only one watching the food on your plate is a challenge, but I am sure most of you face this one.

    I am in a 30 day sprint to fit into a dress for a wedding on March 24th....not sure how smart I was in that....

    Glad to see others in the same boat as I am!!

    Feel free to add me. I'd love to have other moms on my support team & vise versa.

    Hey. I'm turning 30 in one week! I'm a mom of an almost 10 yo boy and have a boyfriend that is in great shape (which makes it hard for him to identify with my struggles).

    I am 6' and 250 pounds. My first ultimate goal is to get down to 190 (I haven't been at that weight since I was about 12 years old) but I have a lot of mini goals on the way there, and maybe I'll even reassess my ultimate goal "when" I get there :D

    Feel free to add me. I could use all the help I can get!
