    Hi, hi!! I'm forty-one with three kids under four years of age. I also have a daughter in college :). Please friend me, I'm new to using the community board but have logged food for four weeks. I have to get healthy now because these kids will need their mom. I know all about stress, lol, my 8 month old is teething as I write this. Talk about grumpy!

    Hi, I am a 37 year old mum of 4, ages 16, 10, 9 & 3. I have been a member of this site for a while but never really got into it. Determined now though as have a big party at the end of June and some old friends will be going. I want to be able to look great and feel beautiful, without resorting to tight fitting knickers that suffocate me haha! or unflatering loose fitting clothes. I have a busy husband who is out most nights, leaving me very little escape time to hit the gym, so I ordered him to clear his junk out of garage and have now turned this into a gym :D. I have about 20lbs to lose in order to achieve my ideal weight, but setting a target of 10lbs initially, got about 6 weeks to do it.

    Hope you all achieve your goals, good luck xx

    I always feel like the "oldish" Mom on the block....... maybe not so much with my daughter but definitely with my son. I'm 44 and I have a 10 year old (going on 16) and a 6-year old Kindergartener.

    I work full-time out of the home and I also am very creative, have an Etsy shop for my jewelry and other creations, do the craft show circuit especially at Christmas time and try to be the best Mom (and wife) I can be.

    would love to meet some new friends.

    I'm 46 with 2 daughters 8 and 6. My goal is to lose the muffin top of baby weight I'm still carrying around from my 6 year old!. I'm tired of struggling with it and have decided to get it off for good!!! I've got to keep motivated and stick to my calories per day! The pool opens at the end of the month and my kids are already ready for it. I've got to put that bathing suit on, Ugh!!

    I am 44 years old with a 4 1/2 year old and work full time too. It's all a big juggle act to get through the day! The hardest part for me is trying to squeeze in exercise. Always looking for new friends so anyone can add me!
