in Introduce Yourself
I'm a 25 year old Mom to a 1 year old. I'm struggling to lose my baby weight; if I can even blame it on that. I've struggled with my weight for the past 10 years and have been all over the scale. I've recently gained 25 lbs and right now I'm just focused on losing that. My overall goal is to loose about 85 lbs.
I am doing so much better with my diet including smaller portions and an overall better balanced diet. I workout about 8-12 hours a week. I take spin class 5 days a week, and I usually fill the other 5 or so hours with swimming laps, weight training, kickboxing class, aerobic classes, or home workout videos.
For the past 3 weeks I haven't seen much of a change, but I'm not gonna quit. I would love any kind of support you wanna give!!
Hope I can find some workout buddies :)

    Good job "scwmom" on the exercising! Keep it up and you should see a change. You may not be losing pounds at first, but with exercise you can reshape your body and lose inches.

    Feel free to add me as well...

    I've been exercising more and eating healthy and drinking plenty of water for the past 5 weeks. I have yet to see the scale move very much (2 lbs). If I didn't have the support from my friends at MFP I don't think I would have been capable of continuing on with this. Every little bit helps and don't completely rely on the scale. take measurements and remember that you may also be building muscle and that weighs more than fat...so keep up the good work and we're all here to help and support you.

    I'm just starting and I'm also looking for some accountability and motivation. I'm 27 and am 150 pds..... I would like to be 130 pds. I don't have much support from family or friends. In fact I think my older sister is happy that I weigh more than her and will NOT be seeking support form her! I hope I can do this!!!
