HI, I am 33 years old and the mother of 2 boys. I currently weigh 172 pounds. I would like to lose at least 20 pounds within 6 months. I have a weakness for anything sweet! I would like to buddy up with a woman around the same age and also a mother because you know some of the challenges we face as moms. But hopefully together we can achive our goals. I am expecting to drop those extra pounds by exercising (slowly to start) and eliminating fried food and junk food while trying to eat more fruits and vegetables.

Your approach sounds similar to mine...I am not following a specific diet plan, but just trying to make slow changes - increase my water intake, eat more fruits/veggies, and cut out fast food. I plan to add exercise in slowly as well that way I am not so overwhelmed.

Hi I'm a little older than you but I have 50 lbs to lose and can use all the help I can get. I'm married to a man who loves me fat or thin, we have 2 grown sons. I'm trying to eat a low carb diet and get plenty of water. If you'd like to bussy up let me know. Oh and I'm starting exercise slowly. Walked 1 mile yeaterday, but have a bum foot today so resting it.

I am 39, a mom, and work part time. My highest weight was when my 5 year old daughter was born. I have maintained my weight around 170 for the last 2 years. I am READY to lose those last 20 pounds, and I want to lose them by August 5th, my *gulp* 40th birthday. Let's buddy up!

Leslie , I'm ready to buddy up! If you want you can email me directly. I have at least 50 lbs to lose and would love to do that by Christmas. What plan are you on?

Have a great night...

I don't really follow a "plan" and no foods are forbidden. However, I try to eat healthy choices, smaller portions, etc. My biggest stumbling block is that I hate exercise.

I lost my weight slowly and steadily, with some plateaus along the way. It took me two years to lose the first 45-50. I did it by cutting back and walking. I sometimes did free weights, I need to get back into that. I also enjoy swimming when it is warm, we have a neighborhood pool.

Take care!

I am trying to eat low carb, my down fall is night eating. Althogh I am trying my best to curb that! They say losing slow is the best...

Best of Luck~
