    :) I love seeing moms getting healthier! It gives me motivation. If you have time, I most assuredly have time! Good luck!

    I definitely know the feeling. I am always looking at the other parents and feeling sorry for myself. I hate being the fat mom. I would be embarrassed if I was my own mom.

    Take it one day at a time. I've lost 25lbs total since January. I've changed how much I've eaten and I've started moving a lot more. So far it seems to be working. I still have another 65lbs or so to go but it's one goal at a time. :)

    woo hoo! I'm tired of being the "fat mom" as well. After losing 30 pounds I decided I was going to "take a week off" from the gym and, well, that one week turned into 4 months! My 3 1/2 year old daughter came into the bathroom as I was getting into the shower and said, "Mommy! look at your big belly!" Ahh the innocence of toddlers! I'm ready to get back on track as of NOW. Good luck to you! :)

    I hear you! And with warmer weather here, it's not like I can "hide" under my sweaters and mom jeans!

    You're not alone! We are all with you. It's time we give ourselves permission to love ourselves and place the same love and care we provide to others to ourselves. I would love to invite all moms as friends under this category, but I haven't figured out how to send invites yet. Can someone give me some advise on how to do this?

    You ladies are awesome! Motivation and support are the keys to starting the healthier lifestyle change! It is not easy, but we can all do it together. Like mmsilvia said, there will be days when you want to quit, but don't! Just know that those days will pass and you can get through it. Please let me know if I can help. :)
