    I am new to this site also! I am 37 years old and just had my second child in April. I have 20 lbs. to loose, I would like to do this by October, as I have a tropical vacation coming up! :) I have done lots of "programs" in the past, but really believe in whole foods, not eating packaged / processed foods. And believe the bottome line, is to eat less & move more! So this is what I am starting to focus on. I am very motivated by my new baby, I know I want to be in shape & an energetic, happy, healthy mommy for him and my older child! I also really need to stay accountable & would love to find some support on this site. Maybe we could "add" one another as "fitness pal friends?"

    Hi! You can add me too if you like. I have about 40lb to go before I hit my final goal so we can totally support each other.
    I am a mother of 2 but mine are grown.
    You can do it!!!

    I'm not doing any particular plan at the moment, just going to focus on eating whole foods, little processed foods as possible and just being active.

    Welcome back. Sounds like a plan to me! Add me if you like.

    I tend to go hard and burn out quickly. My goal for next week is to track my food for at least 4 days and to walk a minimum of 6 miles. I figure both of these are definitely doable so no excuses!

    I use a fitbit ultra tracker (look for the ad on MFP to the right there, you'll see it eventually) to automatically track my activity through the day. Best $100 I ever spent, and it integrates very well with MFP. I was hard pressed to walk more than 15 minutes before, and 8 weeks later, I walk an average of 5 miles a day. It's really a great, subtle, passive way to be motivated to move.

    Hello everyone....I am a forty something mom of 2:blushing:
    I am new to myfitnesspal and curently doing eating as close to Paleo as possible and I love it!
    My only modifications are:Eating some dairy (yogurt, light butter, 1 oz milk w/ coffee & mozzarella string cheese) Eating all veggies and sweet potatoes, however trying to limit corn and sweet peas Using Lean Shake protein powder w/ 8 oz. water as mini-meal Keeping count of protein and limiting to 82-90 grams a day I also try to limit my fruit intake to breakfast and lunch only (before 1pm) Increased water intake to at least 6 to 8 glasses a day Not eating any rice, pasta, (white, red, gold) potatoes, sugar, chocolate, or anything from a box:)
    I have logged my weight, and measurements in my personal trainer wii. I'm taking my front and back BEFORE PICS this afternoon to refer to when I do not feel like working out. Speaking of working out, I have made a commitment to 30 minutes a day Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and 1 hour on Saturday for a longer run/walk. I plan on increasing my time by 15 minutes a day after my first month and then adjust accordingly as my fitness levels improve. Friday's are my Fantastic Free Friday's-so no workout.
    Besides walk/run I plan on rotating biking, wii personal trainer (weights, yoga, cardio), wii fit, wii sports, wii dance revolution to keep it fresh and fun. I must admit Thursday night went well setting up fitness test on wii and 30 min class. Friday was rest. Then due to rain Saturday and Sunday, didn't make it outside to run/walk so considering an indoor trainer down the road- then I can bike indoors for a back up plan:)
    Weigh in Wednesday will be my standard posts with a fabulously new perspective and release on life:) I truly believe Life is what YOU make it!!!!!

    Welcome! Feel free to add me as a friend :) I think accountability is the biggest problem across the board, so I'm happy to join you on that score. Well done on the 1lb loss so far!! x
