in Getting Started
I'm 26 and just had my 2nd child 10 months ago. With work and kids it's hard to find time to exercise, and fast food is so easy! I'm hoping to stick to a healthy diet and exercise regularly! Add me if you want an active MFP pal and so we can share our successes!!

    You can add me if you need help! I had my 4th 7 months ago, and also work ;). I'm not trying to lose but I'm a big meal planner and schedule my days, treating my hours like money is how I make time!

    I feel like that's the hardest to do after a kid because we can make so many excuses! We can do it though!

    Adding you as a friend! I am also a mom but it's been 5 years and I still have some of the baby weight (ugh) so kudos to you for working on it now before you wake up and realize it's years later!!! :smiley:

    I had my 4th child 9 months ago (gained 43lbs with her). My first big goal is to get under 200 again. I sure do miss being in ONEderland- 22lbs away.
