I am 36 with 2 kids. I have tried losing weight on and off for 6 years. Am now at my heaviest and am ready to get the weight off. I am typically good for 2 weeks and then the excuses come back. Really want to see this through this time. Started using a similar app last week and lost 2 lbs without feeling deprived and have burned 300-400+ calories everyday. Hoping to do it again this week. Hope to have 25lbs off before my youngest turns 4 the end of June.

    Hi! I am 30 with 2 kids (4 and 2) and am trying to lose 15 pounds. Like you, I am good for a week or two then give up. I'll add you as a friend if you want to help keep each other accountable! :)

    My kids are a bit older than yours (7 & 10), but my story is very similar- I could usually only be "good" for 1 to 2 weeks. MFP has been a lifesaver. It has helped focus me and all of the MFP folks are amazing motivators. You can do it!!!
