Trying to lose and need a support team

Hi I am 33 and since having my daughter in 2013 I have struggled to lose the weight. I have now committed myself to being healthy and losing. I think I get discouraged when I don't see results quick enough. I have invested in vegetables and if I need to cook a separate meal from my husband then so be it. I have been seeing a nutritionist. I need an extra push sometimes when I want to give up and reading others success stories is great help. Being a mom, full time worker and a wife I am usually very exhausted but the past 3 weeks I have committed to working out everyday except weekends and making wiser choices for my meals. My mind is stronger than me sometimes and makes me what what I want but because I am aware of that now I have trying to be in more control of not letting my mind and cravings, stressful eating habits control me. I can't wait to see results though

... Help please someone .. encouragement etc.

I am a 33yr old mother of 3 and it's definitely hard! You can do it! I wake up an hour early so I can get my workout in while everyone is asleep

My biggest struggle is the eating. So many kid snacks everywhere

I started the 30 Day Shred yesterday and also do 25-30min of elliptical in the morning. Looking to lose 15lbs! Just have faith. You can do it!! Just keep thinking how good you'll feel when you see results!

You can do this. How do I know that? Because I am doing it myself. I am 48 and a mother of 3. I work also and am studying for a new career. I have always had a weight problem and struggle with it everyday. In January I went for my physical and some leg problems. I weighed in at my highest ever of 223 pounds. The doctor said I had prediabetes and very high bad cholesterol. They wanted to put me on medication but I chose to try something different. Change my eating. Change my life. I thought about if I ever left this earth and left my children behind. Well....my fitness pal was my life saver. Since January, I have managed to lose 25+ pounds...I only weigh myself once a month and try to just go about my day without obsessing over the food I eat. It is a slow go but I feel so much better all around. Dinner is the hardest so I chose to cook separate for me and separate for them. Sometimes for me it is a sandwich. I eliminated all white processed carbs. Sometimes the loss is slow but keep plugging away..just a note that I have not added exercising yet. Too busy to fit it in as of now but plan on adding that in to my routine at a later date. I also have my scale for food out on the counter and I do not eyeball anything for measurements. I log every calorie in my diary even my half and half that I will not give up...lol...good luck...you can do this...
