    I feel ya. I gained almost 50lbs with my little guy and 10 of that was in a week due to swelling and fluid retention. I have 20lbs to lose to get to my pre baby weight but 50 to get back to where I was when I was at my happiest. Friend request sent.

    Hi there. I was backwards in that I only gained 12lbs while pregnant but the year following the birth? Gained about 30...

    I'm on track now following keto and will be adding exercise this week. Down 11lbs in two weeks.

    Hey y'all. I'm 37 with a 5 year old boy and 14 month old girl. I'm about 20 lbs overweight hoping to lose it after several attempts and back and forths. I'm looking for accountability. That's my biggest issue. Good luck too all. Add me if you'd like!

    Feel free to add me if you'd like! I'm logging daily and here for the long haul.

    I'm 35 and my son just turned 3 in April. I've got 40lbs to lose, I work full time in a sit-down job, am freelancing on the side and also trying to juggle a small consulting business on the side. I barely have time for bathroom breaks let alone solid exercise, but my health needs to be priority so calorie tracking it is!

    I'm working on being a daily logger! I'm a single mom of a handsome almost three year old! I've gained 55 lbs since the day I found out I was pregnant. I did a keto diet back in May and lost 10 lbs which I have been able to keep off. Starting tomorrow I'm planning on going back to my keto diet as well as continuing my exercise daily. I'm just getting back from vacation ;)

    Please feel free to add me. I have a 10-month old son, and am going back to work part-time in a few weeks. I would really like to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, and lose 37lbs. I used MFP a few years ago for our wedding and I do think it helped so am here to try again!

    I'm a 40 year old mom of 3 kids - 9, 4, and almost 3. I've been saying I need to lose the excess weight from having the last two kids - back-to-back, but i wasn't doing anything to get it off. Hopefully this time I will keep up the progress and keep moving forward! We can do it!

    Hey Ladies I'm Brandi and I am 36, I have Two boys 9yo and my youngest is almost 4. I have ENDO and some GI issues as well as having a budging disk in my lower back, I am going to shot #2 in Jan. I just finished some PT for my foot I hurt back in Aug and that and my back took me out of running and working out for a while which sucked so I gained some weight. Looking to get back at it slowly because I only have the OK to do water workouts and low impacted workouts as well as I can do my PT exercises at the gym too. Just joined the local rec center so I can go to some of the aqua workouts and stuff, and my oldest can swim with me. My real struggle is food and meal prep. I want to prep so bad but can only do it for a bit, I work 12 hr shifts so its hard I don't know why but I feel like its impossible at times, I know others do it in my workplace but all the ones that do don't have kids. I just want to work this year on bettering myself and working on my back and my GI finding the right foods for me. Going to try and set small goals monthly and work to stick to it. I mean come on we can do this right we are moms... lets do this!!
