In need of motivators, hopefully other moms:)

Hi, I've been using MFP for a few months but just started regularly a couple weeks ago. I am looking for some more friends for motivation and to keep me accountable. I am 29, the mom of a 2 yr old and the stepmom to an 8 and 12 yr old. I am 5"7' and my CW is 179lbs. I started this year at 195lbs but didn't get really serious until the end of may. I did just find these forums but would love to motivate you too:)

    You can add me if you like. I'm also 29, and I have three kids: Audrey is 3 1/2, Harrison is 2, and Vivienne is 6 months. I'm a SAHM/student, and things are pretty crazy right now, but I try to be a good friend/motivator.

    Hi!!! Been with MFP since January. I am 35 and the mom to a wonderful 3 year old and just became a stepmom to a 15 and 12 year old! Although the scale is not moving...I am dropping inches and feel stonger!!! I have been focusing on becoming a runner and I just started Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred...today is day 3 and I am totally feeling it!!! Feel free to add me and good luck with your journey!

    HI, I'm a 37 year old mum with 2 boys. One 8 year old who has special needs and one 7 year old - both gorgeous (but then I'm biased!!!). I've lost 5 lbs so far but have stuck at that for a few weeks now and need to move on. Hopeing to lose another 23lbs and gain a healthier attitude to food. Anyone can add me and we can support each other.
