Not a newbie.

I am not new.. I am back again!! I am looking for some weight loss buddies!! I have a 6 month old that is exclusively breastfed (minus cereal 1x a day). I am having a hard time eating what I need to for both baby and I. I want/need to lose weight. My goal is to lose 25 lbs. But I SHOULD lose 40! Is anyone in a similar position?
