Hey y'all! My name is April. I'm 27 and just had my 2nd baby in Dec. I'm 5'9" and currently 180 lbs. All my life I have struggles with my weight. When I was 21, I "dieted" and went from 190 to 165. Then I got pregnant with my first son. After I had him in 2010, I let myself go and reached my highest non pregnant weight of 198. Fluctuated between 180-200 for a little over 4 years. Last year, I decided I wasn't happy with my looks or the fact I couldn't run with my boy without stopping for breaks every few minutes to catch my breath. So I got on MFP and started exercising/counting calories. I got down to my lowest weight since middle school at 145 and I loved it! Then in April, I got pregnant again and got back up to 198 before I had him. I am currently 180 and am determined to be back to at least 160 by my birthday in June.

Everyone feel free to add me, I need all the friends and support I can get : & I would love to be a part of a support system :)

    Hello! I am in almost the exact same situation as you! I had my first gained 100lbs during my pregnancy and after I had him was 212. Never lost any of it. Then I had my second and gained another 5 so I was 217. Then I really got motivated to lose it! I lost 45 lbs all together and am still working on the rest.. ( another 30lbs) I added you as a friend. I could really use the motivation as well ( =
