Hi everyone,
I'm not really good at making friends online but I want to try this again. At first I lost a lot of weight using this app. Now I have given birth to my beautiful daughter. I'm a first time mom and it is my first time weighing more than 250. Currently I weigh 273.
I'm going to start counting calories again and trying to be a healthy mom for my wonderful little girl. Feel free to add me and help me along my journey.

    Similar situation! First time mom to a 9 month old girl. A few years ago I hit my heaviest weight of 220. After leaving a bad relationship and focusing on my health, I managed to get down to about 167 before meeting my now boyfriend and conceiving our daughter. While pregnant I went back up to about 215. I am now currently sitting at 196. I have set myself a realistic goal of 16lbs. I would like to try and get down to 180. I don't have a set time line for myself to lose this weight, I just know it needs to be done before next spring/summer as that is when we would like to start trying for our second child. I know it's only going to get harder and harder to lose weight after each pregnancy so I'm just trying to be smart and lose as much as I can now before getting pregnant again! :)
