    I will send an add.
    I am a 31 yr old mother of 4.
    I eating around 1400 calories - 1200 made me feel terrible.
    I exercise like mad.
    I have lost 47 lbs in 3.5 months & I still have 43 - 55 lbs to go.

    Hey! I'm so glad you posted. I need MFP pals too. I am 53 but mentally much younger (and look younger too) just want to get rid of these horrific 50 lbs that make me feel exhausted and uncomfortable. I know it can be done. I really like MFP better than the ww site. I think the calories database is awesome and i can't believe this is free! I support all of you out there trying to do this. I'm tired of being the fat girl at the party. I was once a size 3-5 and got a lot of flattering attention and could wear anything. But now i'm feeling embarrassed to even leave the house half the time. I don't want to be old yet. I still feel young.

    Let's DO IT people! I'm here for you.

    I've logged in here and there but need to get serious about this. I'm 38 with a 2 year old -- time to put down the bad snacks and lose this baby weight! I need to lose around 20 or so to feel better. I'm *hoping* to have another so I need to shape up!

    Good luck everybody!

    I understand how hard it is! I am 40 yr old mother. I am always looking for friends that are truly motivated to lose. Supporting one another helps with motivation.

    Hi- I've been lurking here at MFP for awhile- reading boards and posting every now and again. Looking for some support. All my in-town friends are skinny minis and don't quite get how hard this is... Anyone ?

    I would be more than happy to add you! I get how hard it is. Lost 30 years back and said I would never gain it back cause it was so hard!!! Found myself back in the same boat. I am paddling.... ; ):flowerforyou:

    Feel free to add me. I'm 36 with a 5 month old who is trying to lose the last 15 pounds of pregnancy weight. Loosing this weight seems to be the hardest thing I've ever done. I've been on since March, eating well and exercising and haven't really lost a thing.... :( Just yo-yo. Maybe when I stop feeding?? Anyhow, welcome!!
