Hi! I'm also 31 and wanting to lose 50-55lbs!!! I'll add you and we can encourage each other!

This is why I rarely weigh myself and instead go by body measurements lol

Hi! I'm going to add you !

Yes I totally agree! I'll add you!

I'll add you! I'm always looking for more friends!

My pediatrician told me because they have very high metabolisms and have a little trouble gaining weight bas they grow that they need the carbs to help with gaining the weight.

I've been attempting to do keto for a few months now. It's really hard to do with kids! I know a lot of people say keto is kid friendly but my pediatrician flat out told me no. So every meal is a struggle. Lol

I've sorta been doing keto for a few months now... it's hard to do with kids. My pediatrician recommended my high matabolism kiddos not be on keto....so every meal it a total struggle. But I'd absolutely love having a MyFitnessPal buddy who is doing it too! Feel free to add me!

Yeah I have a few friends that have offered to let me ride their horses I just need to find the time between retraining my horse and chasing two toddlers to go ride lol

Oh yeah when I had my oldest I was at my slimmest. Had started to lose weight again when my horse sadly had to be put down because of colic. My current horse is an ex racehorse who needs retraining and had I known I was going to have two more kiddos after getting her, I wouldn't have gotten her just because I couldn't do…

I honestly have no idea. Other than when I told him I wasn't going to be as strict and he replied with well thanks for the support is all I have as to the why.

Thank you for your support

Having had to suffer through my parents on diets is exactly why I don't want a severally strict diet. It sucked.

It's possible but he's a very stubborn man and once he gets it in his head he wants to do something there is little to change his mind

Thank you everyone for your insight. It has been most helpful!

I agree with all of this and I do intend to talk to their Dr at their next appointment in a few weeks (can't get in sooner or I would).

I agree but it's my husband doing the imposing after both his brothers had success with the diet. Neither of his brothers kids are young or I've at home so neither had any info about the family aspect of it. That being said doing I do keto but I'm not super strict with it. There are things I enjoy...like pasta and…

This! Are kids are 10, 2 and 1. They are for the most part very good eaters. Although the 2yr old is boycotting and green veggies right now lol

Oh lose weight. He has over 50lbs he needs to lose(I can't remember the exact amount) and I have 50lbs to lose...but I'm not taking this diet to the extreme. I understand that the kids... especially toddlers... aren't going to eat everything the diet suggest nor should they be forced to use substitute things for sugar and…

This is what I'm trying to explain to him. And I know what it's like being the kid of a dieting parent who isn't willing to be a little flexible.. it sucks. Which I also have told him. The man stubbornly thinks if he's this strict he's going to lose over 50lbs by September.

For what purpose of what? I'm not sure I understand the question

I'll send an invite!! I love helping people be motivated...it actually helps me be motivated! Lol

Count me in!!! I'll send a invite!

I'm kinda new again too! I'll add you so we can encourage each other!!

I'm not a new mom but I'm on the same page as you... I want to be the energetic fun mom too! My boys are 9yrs, 2yrs and 1yr old.... I need a lot of energy lol I'll send you an invite!

I sent you an invite! :)

Ok thanks. It's hard to decide what to do because I never know when they will do this for if it's a one time thing or if they'll do it several days in a roll.
