mommy on a mission! help!

Hi everyone! i've been on myfitnesspal for about a week now. i've been dieting here a month now. i recently had my son in january where i weighed in a womping 196.2 lbs at 5'1. i got down to 174 but again gained weight by just eating whatever was around or take out. I weighed in at 180.2 and that was my last straw. my last weigh in a week ago was 176.2, tomorrow i weigh in. i created a FB group made up entirely of women trying to loose weight as well.

after i had my daughter two years ago i lost 50 lbs and my lowest was 130. now my goal weight is 120 and i'm pretty excited to be on this journey. i'm pretty new to this and i don't get on the computer to often so feel free to add me please! just looking for some motivation and support!

    Welcome to MFP! I'm looking for more friends, so I added you! I'm a mommy of 7, and I'm trying to get down to 130. Just weighed in today at 157, which is bumming me out because a week ago I was 155. :(

    I'm in the same boat - trying to get weight back on track after 2 non-sleeping kids in 4 years. They finally sleep so I must STOP eating biscuits. Only just started but nice to know other mums with tums trying hard! I live in Scotland - and dream of the kind of weather you have in Anerica, so don't make me jealous!
  • Hi ! I am adding you! I am trying to lose my baby weight also! I am fed up with my weight and ready to make great changes!

    Please feel free to add me! Mommy of a 3 year old and almost 5 month old. Been on for about six weeks, down 10 lbs and training for my first 5k. Anyone in the thread can add me that would like to. I am very serious about getting healthy to be a better role model to my girls.

    Not all places in america are sunny all year. Where I am from, we get lots of snow. Lots of snow!

  • Hi there, I'm also VERY new to MFP so I'm looking for friends too. I have two little people (3 and 6) and I'm trying to loose extra pounds too (30 of them ;-). I weighed in at 194 this morning and should be around 160. I know that I can do it; it's just nice to have support. Good luck to everyone! :-)
