Hi everybody! I just started on MFP and I'm hoping it will help me keep my emotional eating under control :) I am a 27 year old stay-at-home mom of four, ages 6, 4, 2, and 9 mos. I have tried to get fit before (over and over) and was only successful when my sister lived in the same town and we did it together. I really need friends for support! My always-in-great-shape-no-matter-what husband will come home and say, "Rough day? You should have some chocolate." Sweet, but NOT helpful :) I am training for a half marathon in November and am registered for my first 5K on the 24th!!! Super excited! Again, please add me as a friend! I really need support and want to also be supportive!

    Hi I am a mom of 3 and just started 10 days ago.....It is so tough especially with kids and you are grabbing on the go....I would hate to see the calories I was consuming....I have a ways to go, but have found this pretty easy to follow....I am going to start the exercise part next week....I am easing in....Good Luck

    Feel free to add me... I have 5 kids- 17, 16 twins are 15, & youngest is 11. It is hard to eat right when you are always on the go. I'm new to this site & have already been encouraged more from here than I have at any other time while I was trying to shed these pounds!

    Hi there! Im a 34yo SAHM to 4 littles ones ages 8, 6, 4, & 15mos. :) The kids won't eat some of the foods I'm eating now, so I find it annoying that I'm stuck making 2 different meals every single time. It'd be so much easier to eat their crap. ;)

    I hear ya w/ your hubby issues; my husband brought home a GIFT BASKET of chocolate for my birthday!! Ugh! Thanks, honey, but you shouldn't have. REALLY.

    Hello!! You and other moms that commented on this thread can add me! I am a 30 year old mom to a 6 year old and a 4 year old. I have lost 80 pounds and now I am working on the last 10! 70 pounds I lost was before I discovered MFP. I love this website!

    Howdy! I'm a SAHM of two kids. My daughter is 5 and my son just turned 1 last month. I've gotten really serious about losing weight since the beginning of the year and have already shed 24 pounds. I've still got a large chunk of pounds to go and am all for getting more friendly motivation to help with it.
