Weight Loss Mommas

Im a mom of 3 ages 5,3,2. Last year I lost 96 pounds but slipped a disc in my back, got lazy and gained back 15 pounds...so now Im back to MFP and I have 12 pounds to go back to my goal again. I walk with the kids in the am before if gets to hot, we walk about 4 miles a day 5-6 days a week.

Iam a mother of two awsome little boys, a 2 yr old and a 3 month old, i held on to my baby weight from baby number one, and only gained a little with number 2. Ive been working out for about a month now and am having a hard time loosing weight while breastfeeding my youngest. i run about 20 miles a week at the gym when i have time. I got probably about 40 lbs to loose to reach my goal.

I am a mother of 2, ages 2 and 7 months. Once I start to eat unhealthy foods, I feel like I can't stop. If I don't start eating them, I do really well. I hate feeling like food gets the best of me and I am here to get my weight and food intake back on track.

I'm a mom of 2 - 4 year old boy and 19 month old girl. I've lost about 40 lbs this past year and have 10-15 to go (depends on the day and water weight) to get to my ultimate goal weight. I've plateaued recently and am getting very frustrated about that. Most weeks, I exercise 4-6 times doing a mix of yoga, cardio, and strenght training. I would love a group with some different exercise ideas, any quick, healthy meal or snack ideas, and any other support in general!

I would like to add you as support person too. I am 39 with three boys - 16, 13, and 9. I work full time (8 to 5). I have been been using MFP for about 5 weeks I believe. My goal is to lose 30 lbs (I am 5'6" and would say I have a medium frame. Pear-shaped body! LOL) I recently went through a 7 day detox a few weeks ago and it helped me kick my regular Coca-cola habit. I am very proud of this because it was my crutch. Since then I have seen a change in my body slowly but have not lost a lot of weight. I am not giving up though. I feel good when I track what I eat...no more mindless eating. My priority for several months now has been making time to workout. I attend both Kickboxing classes and Zumba classes during the week - they start basically after work, 5:30 and 6:15 respectively. On my best weeks I can go to the classes 4 days a week. I prefer these classes to treadmills, elliptical, weight machines, running, etc. Group exercises is really for me - especially these particular ones. The problem is I have major guilt leaving my boys to basically eat by themselves while mom works out. My husband gets home from work late - 6:30 or 7 pm so he is not home to eat with them either. I bust my butt to make the boys supper before I go work out - most days I am able to do this, other days I either don't go to class so I can provide them with something or I turn to fast food or pizza. I grew up with family meals and have always felt that dinner time is important to bond as a family. Because I am not able to do this as often as I can because I choose to workout instead, I feel I am letting my kids down. I feel bad when I throw supper on the table and say "gotta go, enjoy your dinner together you three" and book to class. However, I don't want to stop going to the classes because, even though they are challenging, I love to go. I really need them in my life. I guess I have to get over my guilt but I can't help it sometimes.

Anyway...sorry to write a book here. I didn't really know I had it in me! LOL. If you or anyone else have a similar lifestyle to me, please send me a friend request.

Hey, I am a 29 f from Mobile, Al. I have a 14m old handsome young man, and I am on a mission to weigh less as an adult than I ever have. I have to loose 140 lbs. I am 259 and have always struggled with weight. I gained 50 lbs with my son and have 10 to go to be pre-baby! If you are in my area and need a workout buddy let me know. I go to the Y and am always looking for people to start a support!

hey there! My name is Sheryl, and I also live in Mobile! I am 29, work out at the ymca, and am a mommy trying to loose some baby weight! Feel free to add me!

I'm 29, with two kids - 3 1/2 & 1 1/2. My second child has been very hard work (digestive problems, not sleeping) and I have gained far more weight than I realised by comfort eating.
I'm now 15lbs down and hoping to carry on as I've begun.

Feel free to add me.
