    Add me too! I'm a mom of 3, ages 11, 7 and 6. Since the last one, I've really struggled with yo-yo weight loss (50-60lbs up and down!) thinking I can't find time for me. I've finally found a happy medium that doesn't make me feel like I'm letting my family down - or me. But daily inspiration and support are needed for everyone to stick to their goals!

    Hi! :) Mommy of 2 here. I want to look back at pictures of us as a family and not cringe. That's my goal. Would love to be MFP friends.

    This is my main motivation and was my wake up call. I was trying to get some pictures together to make a frame for my husband for Valentine's Day and I realized that out of 1,000's of pictures of our family I was in - maybe - 10 of them, no joke. NO MORE - I want to be able to look back at these fantastic journey's we've taken and see that I was a part of it, not just a spectator.

    I have 2 kids and an at home day care so my days are super busy (filled with toddler and baked goodies) I would love to have some friends who are all busy moms.... I am looking to make the most of exercising in a small amount of time and I really need to watch what I eat! Please add me if you have a similar situation!

    Hi! My name is Patti and I'm a mom of 4 boys (23, 20,14,5). I need to lose about 30-40 lbs... I don't feel good about myself since having my last baby almost 5 years ago (March 2007). Please give me any advice that you have. I dont' have a good eating habit.

    I'm a stay-at-home Mom with 2 daughters, 4 year old, and 11 month old. I have been on MFP for some time now but trying to do it alone. It's not working. I need some support and motivation to lose 50 pounds that I've put on in the last 4 years. My biggest problem is not finding the time to eat through out the day. My metabolism has totally dropped and I'm sure everything I do eat goes straight to fat because my body is always in starvation mode. I exercise regularly, but without the nutrition it isn't doing any good. It's time to get some help and reinforcement.

    Hi ladies, I'm 2 days back to work from maternity leave. I've got an almost 8-week-old and a three and a half year old. There's a contest at work to lose weight so I'm getting back active on MFP. I have been so complacent and sedentary since graduating from UNT a decade ago and let myself go. I did not grow up this way. I don't want my children to think that couch potato is a normal life, and I'm ready to get this started.

    I'm mom to an almost 5 year old boy. At my post-natal appointment I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Since then I have gained 50lbs, so for sure those 50 lbs are not baby weight. I'd love to join the group. It's nice to be able to refer to other moms who will understand when I use "I got a kid" excuse when things get hard. Not that there is ANY excuse for me being at this weight, but still......a sympathetic friend would be great.

    Add me as well!! . In addition to ensuring my own health I'm trying to instill in my daughter that exercise is part of every day life, while making sure she has a great body image and a healthy relationship with food.

    I agree 100%! I have a 10 year old daughter that I need to set an example for!

    I would love to! I have tried to lose weight so many times, have tried so many diets, etc, etc...I've lost, and I've gained...this time I am determined! :) In one week, I've lost 6 lbs and I really do credit it to having to hold myself accountable and logging EVERYTHING I eat & drink! Encouragement is great and I am excited for this lifestyle change because I have 2 girls, one is 11 months today, and another is 15 years old! So, I need to stay healthy to keep up with them!!! :) Good luck ladies!!! We all need that encouragement!!!

    I'd like to join! Each of my four pregnancies has left an additional 10 extra lbs on me....so, that's 40lbs that I cannot seem to get rid of! We have an 8yr boy, a 5yr boy, a baby girl in heaven, and an 18mos girl. I've joined MFP before, but have never tried connecting with the community. Maybe that will be part of the difference this time!:smile:
