I have a beautiful 12 week old baby girl, and I've lost ten pounds since coming home from the hospital. But I gained 50 while pregnant, despite eating pretty well and staying super active - so I still have 25lbs to get to my pre-preg weight! Would love to add some other new mom friends for motivation and support, or if you have older kids, would love to hear how long it took to get back to your happy size and any tips you might have!

I have a 4 1/2 year old. I also gained 50 lbs. I didn't start really trying to lose until he was about 6 months. I started running and eating right, and I ended up losing almost 80 lbs. I've gained about 20 back because I've slack, but I'm back on track to getting back to my happy weight. After losing 80, 20 doesn't seem so daunting ;0) Good luck! You can totally do it!
