Hello! I'm 30 years old and been married to DH for 9.5 years. I'm a Mommy of 2 beautiful kids. A girl born August 2009 and a boy born April 2012. I've always had issues with my weight. When I hit college I began to gain more and more weight. I gained 40 lbs from my HS weight. My goal is to get down to 120, which was where I was at in the beginning of college. I also want to get toned. Something I have never been. I'm almost halfway done with the Insanity program and eating very healthy. I'm just starting to see the weight come off. I'm so excited to continue with this journey! 28 lbs. to go!

Most definitely! Thanks! Before kids, I had lost soooo much weight and then fell off the wagon. I want to feel what I felt back then and even more.

I'm 35 from PA. (Am I the oldest in this group?) I haven't been thin since childhood. Weight has always been struggle for me, but I never been really really fat. (The BMI scale would say otherwise.) I've been married to DH for almost 4 years and our April SO is our first. The summer before I met DH I peaked at the highest I had ever weighed before and decided to do something about it. I started eating right and went to the resevoir everyday to walk or jog, sometimes up to 10 miles. I kept that up while we dated too and even joined a Curves for a year. My eating habits definitely slipped when we started going out. When we married we moved to the suburbs and I stopped going to the resevoir. Soon after we were married, I remember people asking me if I was pregnant. My weight gain was obvious and I continued to hit new weight gain highs, eventually crossing the 200 lb threshold. When I hit 205 and could not fit into my size 16 pants, I told myself that was it, and started working out on and off until my pants started fitting again. I'm short; size 16 is the biggest size offered in some petite brands. I look ridiculous in most regular length big sizes and don't want to pay to have my clothes altered. Right before I got pregnant with my son, I found my workout groove. I lost almost 15 pounds by that point. Eventhhough it doesn't seem like a lot, my clothes told a different story. When I went back to work in the fall (I'm a teacher) everyone noticed the change in me. I didn't gain much during my pregnancy until the last 2 months (about 20 lbs total), but I did stop working out. It has been so hard to get back into that groove and I so want to go back to work feeling strong and confident about my body. I want my son to have a mommy he is proud of.

This is a new thing for me. I'm hoping posting on this site will keep me motivated and hold me accountable.

Hey, my name is Monica. i live in Texas. I have an 11 year old and my YDD was born in April (duh). I started gaining weight in my eraly twenties when I got a desk job. It's just sort of piled on. I did a fairly good job of losing weight for my wedding in 07. But I joke that I gained it all back on the way home from the honeymoon. Which is only partially a joke. I look at pics from a few month later and the weight just piled back on. I got gestational diabetes when I was pregnant and my midwives told me that I need to lose weight to prevent from getting real diabetes. So, I'm sort of following the diet I was on while pregnant, because I couldn't gain weight when I was pregnant. It's not so much counting calories, but a low glycemic approach.

Hope this works. It's nice to meet all of you.

My name is Sherrie, I am 30 years old. I have been married for 4 years. My husband and I have 2 children and I have another child from a previous relationship. My children are 10, 3, and 3 months today! I am done having babies and need to get serious about getting fit. I want to be healthy for my children, husband and myself. I have 20 pounds that I need to lose. I'm so excited to be on this journey with all of you women.

This will help to have some friends on here to support eachother and keep us all going

I'm Samantha. I'm 36 yrs old. I have a 13 yo dd, 9 yo dd, and our first boy 3 months. I've been married for 15 yrs. We live in Florida. I have never had trouble with my weight until a health problem followed by an injured knee resulting in surgery and a year with trouble walking. I may still have to have a partial replacement but hoping not. I went from very active to not being able to stand up and cook. Getting pg was actually good for my knee the dha that came with the pre natal worked better then anything else I've tried. I am trying to be as active as possible without doing damage to knee. I'm about at pre pregnancy weight but want to loose the 40 I gained previously. I'm having trouble with the fact my loves (food wise) are bad for me and it didn't matter before bc of my activity level, and now I shouldn't eat them but want to. Sorry for the ramble.
