    Sounds like me! 175 when I got married (nearly 16 years ago). With each pregnancy gained and never lost it back in fullness. Start weight was 278. Current is about 233. First goal is 175 and then from there I'll take anything as a bonus! :-)

    Me too, once you settle into life it's easy to let the weight get out of hand.

    I'm a mamma, though my son is 21 and out on his own. But I definitely need to lose 80-100 pounds. I just started here about three weeks ago.

    I would love to get friends with the same goals as me! I just started and have nobody on my list yet, please add me! I want to get at least 20 lbs gone by June!

    Highest weight- 325(while pregnant)
    Current weight-278
    Lowest adult weight-180 (got there very unhealthily with drugs and starving)
    Goal weight-178

    So from the numbers above you can see I need to lose 100 lbs!

    I'm sending all a friend request! I need all of the encouragement I can get. I think we all do, and it helps that we all have the same goals. I am not comfortable stating my weight yet but I will say that I need to lose 107 pounds to get to my goal weight.

    Hi,

    I'm a mama to 4 kiddos. When I joined MFP a year ago I was staring down at the scale and needing to lose 120 pounds. I'm down 112 and in the home stretch. I'm a good support person and anyone is welcome to add me to their team.

    I am not a mama, but I wish all you wonderful ladies the best of luck! It's not easy bringing lives into this world and raising them and managing your weight on top of that....kudos!

    I'm a mom to 3 beautiful kids. They are willing to try new foods, so I think I'm lucky that way. That, plus I'm now practicing what I was preaching to them about making healthy choices... so I'm setting the example :) Add me if you like, the more encouragement and support we all have the better.

    SW 217lbs
    CW 204.5 lbs
    GW 130 - 135lbs

    It took me a whole year to lose 40 lbs after my last baby. Then I gained 6 back over the holidays. Now I'm back at it and lost those extra lbs plus a few. Still feels like a long way to go though.

    My first year on here was very difficult. I did not have the support I needed from family but now my life has completely changed and I am very happy ( no longer are we living with my mother). So I am very into looking this weight and I can use all the encouragement that I can get and I all so love to give encouragement so any one who. Would like another friend is more the welcome to add me.
