    If you are nursing, be aware that your body needs extra calories !!!

    How old is your baby? I lost tons of weight breast feeding, BUT THE MINUTE I STOPPED, the weight started creeping back on. Use breastfeeding to your advantage! Your baby will still get the nutrients she needs; your body will make sure of it.

    My son is 9, so I can't really use the baby fat excuse anymore. Plus, I was fat before I got pregnant. I was on Jenny Craig, but I was still overweight. Feel free to add me.. I really need support too. I'm starting today. And not doing too well.

    Feel free to add meeee! I need to lose around 50 pounds to get back to what I used to weigh and it's proving hard. If only losing weight was as easy as putting it on... :/ Good luck!

    Hi! I am a mom of 5 and 8 year olds! wanted to let you know about something you may not have heard of...
    (even I still have it) it is called Diastasis Recti. it is a separation of the abdominal muscles (which happens to 66% of women) there are videos on youtube and lots of info on pinterest about it. including an easy self check you can do to find out if you are one of them! why is this so important? if you start working out to get rid of your tummy you may want to avoid sit ups/crunches and planks. and replace them with appropriate exercises so that it wont make it worse!

    Add me, please... I'm new! My youngest is 7 months and I've lost 5 lbs toward my 25 lb goal to get back to where I want to be! I broke my hip at 30 weeks pregnant and had emergency surgery to pin it back together. We're hoping this "temporary" fix lasts a few years, so I have other obstacles to deal with like not being able to lift heavy objects or workout!

    This will be my third time using MFP to lose weight. Originally lost 30 lbs in 2011 and kept it off until pregnancy with my first baby in 2013. Used it to lose the baby weight plus 10lbs more (total of 25lbs.) Kept it off until pregnancy with second baby. Been using it again for almost two months to get rid of this baby weight, 10lbs down, 15 to go. Hoping to reach my goal weight by our seventh wedding anniversary, April 19th.

    MFP definitely works it's just a lot of work :)

    I've had a slow loss week last week and this week. Currently bummed and needing motivation.

    Maybe we should make a group for all of us

    I'm a first time mom with a ten month old and still nursing. Losing weight is a lot harder while breastfeeding!
