For my daughter.

I am a momma of 2.
My son is Brayden and he is 4 and my little girl is Avery who is almost 2!
Feel free to add me! I love having a support group. I feel that if I didn't have this site, I would not be
doing as good as I am. Best of luck to you!

Welcome! And good for you for choosing your health for not just yourself but for your daughter.

Way to go for deciding to get healthier! You can add me- I have known for a while my weight was getting out of control but wasn't til I was told I had high chloesterol that I listened. I didn't want to be put on meds so the weight is slowly coming off!! I am a mommy of 3 girls ages 12, 10, & 5- Good luck and Congrats on the baby!

Great decision!! You can friend me if you would like.

Here's my info.
Family history: Everybody dies @ 55 on my paternal side from heart failure, usually having had at least 1 stroke (no kidding 55 seems to be the magic number). I was doing well until surgery in November and then my weight ballooned for the first time since having my last child.
Started loosing in Feb.
42 yo female, currently 143.8 pounds (weighed in today)
Heart attack @ 35yo.
BP = Current 137/96 (166/116 in Jan)
Diet/exercise controlled diabetic
Diet/exercise/vitamin controlled cholesterol

Watch that salt. Man, it's a killer for me. I love soup but can't eat the processed stuff because it's so high in sodium.

I really want to see my 13 yo graduate from both high school and college. Would be nice to see my 22yo and 26yo have kids one day, too.

Congrats! I would love to have a BP buddy .

I'm struggling with BP too, for the first time in my life it won't go down!!!!!
Lots of stress lately, mother sick, gpa died, mother sick, mother sick. I have gained 10 pounds in 3 months just from stress eating, so with my doc threatening to put me on BP meds, i have to get serious about losing weight and regular exercise again. My two beautiful nieces both went on a weight loss program w/MFP after christmas and they are doing great, so i decided to join. Here's to seeing less of us all. LOl

excellent reasons to be here and to be doing it for your future daughter, family, and yourself! Keep motivated, work hard, log everything, determination and hardwork = results.

Hey there!! I'm a mom of two wee girls HBP, high cholesterol and diabetes run rampant in my family too. So far all I've got is the high cholesterol, which I take medication for.

It's such a nice gift you're giving your daughter, to be here for her

Hi! It's great to hear that you would have decided to improve your health for your daughter. You are making a wise decision. Trying to encourage friends and people to help you is also quite admirable. I've been going to the gym and attempting to improve my health since January and recently started personal training. I've been going to some classes (TRX & Kettle bell) each week for nearly 3 months now and since I started the training I want to reduce my attendance to these classes but since I've developed friendships with the instructors and other regulars I can't bring myself to stop going to either class. So now I go 5 times a week and sometimes more.

So if you go to a gym introduce yourself to some folks there and get to know some people because it will provide much more motivation to keep going and you may get to a point where you need to reduce your attendance (like in my case).

Another thing, I have a 3-year old son who has been rock solid since he was a baby. Though not chubby, he was 40 lbs before he was two and a half. If your daughter is anything like him, you may need to keep working out just to pick her up

I would love to add you as a friend here on MFP,
Ryan.

Hi I am the mom of 3 and 108 lbs over weight. Getting in shape for them and the grandkids to come. I am on here daily and try to motivate all of my friends. Anyone needing some encouragement feel free to add me. Welcome to mfp and best of luck on your journey!
