Hello, I am a 43 yo mom- new to MFP and looking for supportive friends. I am 5'2" 155lbs with a goal of weighing 129. I have struggled for many years with successes and losses and now feel good and positive as I have gotten a handle on my diet and am now incorporating healthy exercise daily. I am on here several times a day, it helps to keep me on track!

    Hi! I don't have quite as much experience as you (nor am I a mother--but I do have six younger siblings. Does that count?) Anyway, Although our starting weights are different (I weigh more) , our goal weight is the same! ^_^ I thought that might give us a good basis for supporting each other with losing weight, if you'd like...

    Hey There! I am 40, a mom of 1 and looking for a job....but while I'm looking, I am working out HARD. Main goal is to incorporate Yoga or Pilates and watch my calorie intake. I just started running so that should HELP me!:smile:

    Add me, if you'd like! I'm 22, just had my first baby, and need to lose 30 pounds! I'd love to have and provide support. I'm trying a very healthy, mostly whole foods-centered diet and building up my endurance to run.

    Hi. I am a 44 yr old mother and grandmother. My goal wt is 130 lbs. I am 5' 1", and have another 17 lbs to lose to reach my goal. You can add me as a friend if you like. The more we can all support each other, the better.
