A little late to the race but count me in too! Weigh in today is 187. I’ll try to figure out the spreadsheet. 😜

Please add me... I’m 44 with 5 and 4 year old children. I’ve got about 35 pounds to lose but I fall off the wagon after a couple weeks of success too. Looking for someone to nag me a bit 😜 lol.

Add me. Like some above... fell off the wagon and back at it. Feeling super motivated.

Sounds great! Not sure how to accept the challenge as I’ve never done this before but I’ll try to track more regularly than I have been. Do I just request you as a “friend”

Add me! 42... Mother of two (3 years and 21 months) and am getting back on to MyFitness Pal so I can get accountability and support. Spring has sprung and I'm determined to get stronger so I can hit the golf ball further, up my cardio so I can keep up with the kiddies for years to come, and if I lose about 20 pounds in…

Vent away. This is a safe place to put those frustrations. Like a bird in the hand though, let it go.

Absolutely! Especially with winter! I, in the past, have self described myself as a fair weather workout girl... Because if the weather isn't "just so" I wouldn't go out. It's one of my resolutions to put that behind me! Good to hear you're already feeling more exuberant about life and losing the excess!

Sorry amykate751.. I keep getting an error message that your username is invalid... Try friending me if you'd like. Sorry

I'll send a request too. I'm a teacher with 2 children (2 1/2 and 6 months). Also love running and am just getting back into it yet again. I was hoping to do the half again this fall, but our city cancelled it so I need to look for another close by. Doing a 10 mile in May though (and many 5 k's throughout the year -…

Great idea SassieSue86! I'm not going to beat myself up for not getting on the treadmill tonight because a friend really needed a good long chat (with a glass of wine!)

Way to go! "Cycle" weight is just water weight - stick to your gumption and you'll lose 4 pounds the week after!

I hear ya! Sounds like you've got a good plan and will just need to tough out a bit of sleep deprivation from time to time. My 6 month old (tomorrow! Eek!) just had a couple nights that reminded me of the good ol' newborn days so I've been crashing at about 9 to make sure I'm rested for the next day. Last couple of nights…

Hang in there bexxgirl! Breastfeed as long as you can. When you get up in the night to feed, do you talk or sing to baby? If you do, stop. I made that "mistake" with my first and we had a tough time establishing a good sleeping pattern until he was almost 11 months old. Think about it this way - you are engaging his/her…

New to the group too. On week 3 of what I'm hoping will be 40 weeks (to lose 40 pounds) and I'm hanging in there. Had a little injury last week, but seems to be ok now (strained ankle). I'm trying the iFit Jillian Michaels 30 days running program and its going well. Need to work on not pouring a glass of wine for my after…

Love your sense of humor! How old is your youngest baby? Your body is asking (demanding?!) for carbs (and in your opinion chocolate) but be gentle on yourself! No one wants to derail themselves, but perhaps your body is wanting caffeine... (Naturally found in chocolate and that's the most "enjoyable" way to consume…

I would also love to be part of this forum. Is there a specific place that I go to to "join" or does each person "add" the others to their profile? I have a 6 month old girl and a 2 year old boy. I want to get back to pre-pregnancy minus The 20 I had before pregnancy (grand total of 40). I've adopted an outlook that it…
