Mother of 2 needing serious help!

Hi all! Mother of two here, and @ the highest weight I've ever been. I'm ashamed to look in the mirror and get depressed when I can't buy "normal clothes". I'm ready to feel good about myself again!!!

    You've come to the right place! I'm also a mother of 2 and, man, sometimes it's hard to find the time to exercise when all those other pesky things like bathing and sleeping get in the way! I KNOW I wouldn't have been as successful without this site. The days I feel like giving up, or binging on junk, I log in here and see some kind of motivation and it (usually) keeps me on track. Feel free to send me a friend request. You CAN do this!

    Welcome! I'm a mom of 3 and one is a wild/busy boy! I can relate to the mirror thing. I can't wait to have the day I go to the dressing room and feel great walking out in front of others to show my hubby! Good luck with your journey!

    I Love this site! You gets lots of support, motivation, and information on here, and it's so easy and "fun". I have 2 kids too. You have to believe that you can do this. I've been on here for a month and a half, lost 9 pounds, and have 40 to go until I reach my goal weight.

    Add me!

    Hi!
    I am also a mother of 2. I started dieting because I decided to finally step on the scale in january and saw that I weighed more than the day I went into labor with my son. I had to do something. Feel free to add me :)

    Hi, mom of 5...yeah I know I'm crazy...lol. I have over 150 to lose and it's hard at times but the support from my friends here is beyond amazing! I have zero support at home so without them I'd be lost. You can add me as a friend and I will help support you :)
  • Just know you aren't alone! I have two kiddos as well and I am ready to become a total MILF.
    :)

    This website and app will really help! I am down 9 pounds in 15 days, I have reached a plateau and even though I know that it's normal, it is still aggravating. If you'd like to, you can send me a friend request. It helps having people who motivate you.

    Another mother of 2 here, time is my enemy!! If it wasn't so easy to use mfp site and app to track everything I would not have got this far!

    Been losing since October, my baby was just about 2 months then. It's slow, and fitting in any exercise at all in the week is an achievement but even keeping my food intake under control is working and is overall making me feel better. I don't feel as good on the days I eat less healthy stuff so using that as my biggest incentive.

    You can do it, the support on here is fantastic along with the great tools!

    I am a mother of two little boys and for four long years I have neglected myself and hated myself. Last Friday I hired a trianer and made the devotion to change who I am. I started my fitness goals on Monday 4/16/12 and I have already lost 3 pounds. I have found that I was eating all the wrong foods and too many calories each day. I want to be the person I used to be and not hide myself behind several layers of clothes. Just stay positive and look at the big goal and work hard for it!
