in Motivation and Support
I gained so much during my pregnancy and now I feel so overwhelmed about trying to lose it all! This is the heaviest I have ever been and it is a little hard to stay motivated.

    I finally got rid of the baby weight a couple months ago. it can be daunting but if you keep it up you'll look back and see how far you've gotten. i was 276 and now i'm 227...i was already big when i got pregnant...i waited till after breast feeding before i started losing weight. i lost 30 lbs in the first 3 months, although great, i needed to slow down. i have 48 more lbs to go and it really doesn't seem like that long ago i started. don't dwell on it, enjoy your little baby and you'll get to where you are going before you know it! good luck and congrats on your baby!

    Thank you! I was also big when I got pregnant (215). I got up to 272 and also lost 30 pounds in the first month! I am now back up to 263 and I just know I should be losing and not gaining! Lol. Hopefully this program will give me some motivation. I'm excited to have a community to share with.

    Yep. And it is really hard for some reason this time. I had my 3rd baby and for some reason this time I haven't been able to motivate myself. Maybe because I have to keep losing the same 30 lbs. :( but I just got serious and I am going to do it again. I've done it before but it won't happen if I don't work for it. :smile:

    Yes! Baby #2 is 8months and I am still 10 pounds away. I can't seem to lose any more. Looking for some encouragement and advice from other mamas.

    Mine is 6 months. I was doing well at first and now I've just been STUCK. I could use some advice and motivation too.

    I'm losing nursing weight. I don't gain much when pregnant, but always put on some while nursing. The struggle is real, but you can do it. Get a food scale if you don't have one and WEIGH EVERYTHING!

    Me! I had my second daughter 3 weeks ago. I gained 57 lbs with this pregnancy and it feels like an uphill battle at times. I aim to lose the 57 lbs but also become more physically active and tone up. We can do this! Seconding the recommendation to weigh everything, I've found it very helpful.

    I was a huge 330 when I had my son (had gained 55lbs but 30 of it was from preeclampsia)
    I've lost all that I gained but need to lose 50 more. Would love to join you ladies and support each other.

    After my last pregnancy I was able to lose all the weight plus 10 pounds more with MFP and diligent walking (a total of 30 pounds over about 8 months after I weaned). Now my second is 9 months and I am stuck 20 pounds above pre-pregnancy. Looking for support too! I have a goal to lose 40 pounds and get back to my lowest adult weight now that I am done having children, so I have long road ahead :-) Still nursing too.

    I'm trying to lose the baby weight too! Anyone interested in starting a new group for moms so we can motivate one another?

Only 3 weeks post C section so excited to get the all clear to start doing more than walking in the next few weeks! I was at my heaviest before pregnancy so hoping to loose an extra 30-50lbs... Would love some tips and motivation as well!

    I'm trying to lose the weight too. I honestly can't remember my exact weight before I got pregnant with my 4th child (15 months ago). I have a big goal in mind but I'm excited to see the better me.

    I'm in the same boat as all of you ladies. It's tough to lose weight after the baby. This is my third and I feel like I've been gaining and losing for the past 4 years! (My children are pretty close in age.) I'm going to add some of you. Hopefully we can motivate each other. Feel free to add me.

    My LG is 10 weeks old and I'm EBF. I was 140 before my son and was around 170 before my daughter and I'm hovering around that number now. I would like to get back to 140ish. I'm more about the clothes sizes so uk10 would be fab. Feel free to add me too xxx

    Add me! I have baby weight to lose from my irish twins. I recently stopped breastfeeding and I'm ready to kick these extra pounds to the curb! I would like to lose at least 50 pounds (the weight I put on through both pregnancies and breastfeeding), but my long-term goal is 75 pounds.

    Feel free to add me too! When I delivered in January I was 235. I'm down to 175 but now I'm stuck! No matter what I do that number on the scale won't budge. My goal is to get back to 135ish.

    me! I had #3 April 23rd and I am having a terrible time losing. I weighed 188 when I got pregnant (sadly a low point in weight for my adult life)- I am currently 205, after gaining 10 lbs back I had lost post-partum. I am nursing and struggle with the constant hunger- add to that a 5 and 3 year old,renovating a house and moving, and I just don't make myself a priority. I am so tired of the excuses though. I will get my eating under control by consistently tracking- I know this brings me success!

    Hi, I too am struggling with baby #3 weight loss. I was at 230 when I got pregnant and went up to 270. I had my baby two months ago and got down to 239 within two weeks of having her. Today when I weighed myself I was up to 245 again (eek)! I need motivation and I'm determined to make it out of the 200s by next year. Feel free to add me ladies and if you do make a mommy weight loss group please let me know.

    I think that is a good idea. How do we go about it?

    Baby weight seems to be the hardest to lose! I now have a VERY active 1 and a half year old, so I am super motivated to lose weight! I am the heaviest I have ever been as well. we can do this! For the babies! LOL :smiley:

    Yep, me too. I want to lose at least 30 lbs, but after the second kid I just can't find the time or energy. But the last kid turns 2 in a month and I still have the baby weight from both pregnancies! I need to get serious but I just can't seem to do it!

    My baby will be 4 months on the 24th and I haven't lost a pound since she was 2 weeks :-( I have 40 pounds to lose to get to pre-pregnancy weight plus another 20 or so to get back to a normal, healthy weight. So depressing. Getting serious starting today though!!!

    I'm 9 1/2 months pp, I lost the baby weight and 10 extra pounds so far. I exercise 30 minutes a day, 5-6x/week. Feel free to add me.

    My third baby is 14 months old now and I still have 15-20lbs to lose. We've had a tough time with her as she has enlarged adenoids so gets congested and pukes every single night, so we're exhausted. Waiting on an ENT referral to have them out.

    I always gain loads in pregnancy and it takes ages to lose. I lost 66lbs after my 2nd baby, but it took me around 20 months.

    I workout a lot, an average of 5 times a week, and I'm really active.
