I'm a 23 yr old SAHM to a toddler. I love cooking and baking, which has no doubt got me in this situation so I am trying to learn how to cook healthy. I would like to lose 30-40lbs this year before we try to get pregnant again. I would love to have some buddies that are dedicated and support me as much as I will them :)

    I'm looking for some accountability too! I just started using this site yesterday. I have a workout group who helps hold me accountable to that we've been working out 5 days a week for over a year. Unfortunately we've never included weight loss or diet.

    The reason I need accountability is I just had my third and final baby and need to loose my baby weight from this baby and 10 pounds I never lost from each of my earlier pregnancies (30 pounds total). I usually eat fairly well but then indulge on sweets at the end of the day so I hope that keeping a food journey and having some accountability through an online community will help.

    hi! I'm also looking for some buddies! I am 24 and have a toddler. I too love to bake and cook, so I understand where you're coming from! I am looking to lose a total of 77 lbs all together. Ideally I would like to lose as much weight as possible prior to September! My younger sister is getting married and I am the made of honor. Also, my husband and I will be trying for our second child and I definitely don't want to put on any more weight than the weight I am at now and then be in an even bigger bind later down the road. Plus- I just want to be flat out healthy!!

    that's funny you should say that, my sis got me started on this site 2 weeks ago and she hasn't been back on. This site is awesome, though, it has such a feeling of unity and I've yet to see anyone put anyone else down. Thank God for that, cause that can be such a bummer.

    I am also looking for some accountability. It can be hard to stay motivated at times and would love to have a support group to give/receive advice and tips!

    I too am just starting. My goal is to lose 50 pounds. I recently joined a gym to help get my body back. As of right now I can barely do 30 seconds of jumping jacks before I am gasping for breath. Remember when you were a kid and could do jumping jacks or jump rope for what seemed like forever?? I really miss those days when I had energy. But here I am at 43 with three active children (11, 14, 21) who I have been watching from the sidelines. I would love to be active like them again! I would love to join you all in the circle of support! Please consider adding me too!
