Hey everyone! I am a U.S. Navy Sailor and a married mother of two of the most amazing little boys ever! My son Isiah is 7 and my son Gavin will be 9 months in a few days. I have been in the military for almost 12 years and I love it!

I am originally from Illinois, but I am stationed in Connecticut right now. Being in the military we have to be in weight standards. Typically people say that you have to wait 12 months to get your pre-baby body back, but the military only gives you 6 months. I am overweight right now, but I just made body fat a few months ago. Every 6 months we have to be weighed in and based on our height we have a max weight. If you are over that weight you have to be measured and those measurements are used to calculate your body fat. So for 5ft 6in I can not weigh more than 163. I weigh 173, so I was measured. Body fat max is 32% and I was right at 32%. My goal is to lose 30 pounds. I hate having to be measured. I am physically fit and always pass my fitness tests. Our fitness test consists of doing Xamount of pushups in 2 minutes, X amount of sit ups in 2 minutes and run 1.5 miles in a certain amount of time. 6 months after having my son I did 46 pushups, 58 situps, and ran 1.5 miles in 14:30. Not bad for having 2 c-sections and no abdominal muscle strength what so ever! Not to mention going 9 months without working out.

Anyways - like I said, I want to lose 30 pounds and I will do it!

Hi Everyone, My name is Justine I am 24 and i have a 5 year old little boy who is full of energy and always on the go.

Hi I'm a SAHM of 5 kids. 12, 9, 6, 4, 3. I am loving working out, but am finding that putting in the time is taking it's toll on my organization and our home is becoming a little chaotic. Would love advice on balancing it all! Kids are in music and sports, hubby has a full time job, and a small car dealership as well. We are, like most, running around with our heads cut off!

Hi all!

I am in my early-thirties and a SAHM to my 5 year old son (O) and 3 month old daughter (A). I gained a lot of weight with both pregnancies, and while it came of quick the first time around (I was 5 pounds below my pre-preg weight by 10 weeks), it is definetly taking a lot longer this time!

While pregnant with O I was able to workout until a few days before delivery. I ran a half-marathon a few months before getting pregnant with A and hoped to continue running during pregnancy. Unfortunetly, I wasn't able to because of sickness and injury. Oddly enough, my half-marathon was exactly one year prior to the day A was born. Aside from toning, my fitness goal is to be able to run another half by her first birthday (Sept 2012).

I have about 15 lbs to lose, and lots of toning to do!

Hi, I am a sahm of 7 only 3 still at home. i homeschooled for 10yrs did daycare for 6 1/2 yrs , fostercare for 7 yrs and adopted the younger 3 from the fostercare system.

Then I will access to see if I want to stay there or lose a bit more. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you........Together we can do this

Howdy. I am a 45 year mother of nine. I have always been able to lose the baby weight in the past but this time has been a challenge. I love to bike and do things outside. We homeschool our kids. Oldest is 20 and youngest 17mos. Exercise alone has not been cutting the mustard so now am going to keep better track of what I eat and I love how this site shows you the quality of what you eat. My goal is to whack off 25 pounds. We shall see.

Just realized that I haven't introduced myself. My name is Tammy I'm a mom of a soon to be 1 year old (sniff sniff), I work full time and I started grad school (one class at a time). I'm 27 and I need to lose 30-50 pounds. I'm giving myself that big of a weight challenge because I want tos ee how I feel at 30 pounds lighter . I have a desk job and I live in Alaska. Yes thats right Alaska. It's freakin cold right now but I love being up here. The cold makes it hard to want to work out when all you want to do is bake and watch movies when its cold. I'm ready to be fit again. I'm soo tired of being this big. I also want my daughter to have a good role model. My curren weight is 182 so here we go.

My name is Elizabeth. I am a mom of 4 wonderful kids. My 2 daughters live with me and my husband of 1 year. My sons live in Iowa with their father. We currently live in Georgia. The weather is tricky sometimes. I love it tho compared to the freezing temps up north. I am currently at 238, I would like to get down to 150. I have been chubby all of my life. My brother posted some pictures on facebook last week from our younger years. I was the only chubby one in the family. I think part of it has to do with my genetics. A lot of women in my family are chubby. My chubby has stayed about the same tho through my pregnancies. The lowest I have gotten was 207 after my daughter in 2007. Going to have to work hard at this.....

Hi! Mother to four children (8,7,5,3 and a twin baby we lost and would have been 5 ) two cats, and a puppy! My husband is in the military and frequently gone so it's a challenge to fit and do everything in a day, especially when I'm often doing it alone! I get up at 5-5:40 in the morning everyday to workout. On the weekends I get to sleep in till 7 ,ha! Anyway, feel free to add me!
