I'm a (fairly) new mom to a beautiful 7 month old boy! I have lost 54 lbs since, and want to continue on my journey to better health.

Any other moms want to connect & support one another?

    Me! I'm just starting this, and I have a long way to go. My weight has just gone up and up since I got married four years ago, and while I only gained ten pounds during pregnancy, I regained/kept those ten pounds after my daughter was born. I've never learned how to eat and exercise with a husband that eats garbage and is thin without having to work for it.....

    I'm a mom of one big 7 year old! I was in great shape after I had her, but now I'm in the same boat as @Hazeldog7 my husband is a total junk food junkie that doesn't need to diet! its super hard to eat my healthy foods while my husband is next to me eating in and out and cookies.

    That's awesome!! I lost about 20 lbs when I had my son within the first few weeks from all the fluid so I would imagine you are going to be very close to your preprego weight after if not lower!

    So cute! I'm a mother of two under the age of two. 18 months apart. My daughter will be 2 in 2 weeks and my son was 4 months today. Having both babies made me gain a lot of weight, I have about 60 lbs to get to my pre pregnancy weight but I'd like to lose 70!

    Oh, 2 under 2, I vaguely remember those crazy days! Mine are now just-turned-3 and 20 months now, getting the first to 2 was like a huge milestone "no more 2 under 2 woot!" So congratulations on the upcoming birthday.

    I have 2 crazy boys. My oldest is 8 and my youngest is 2. I gained 60 pounds with my first pregnancy and lost 40 of it. Gained 60 pounds with my second pregnancy and I've lost 70 pounds since then.

    I'm a mother of a 7month old baby boy. I gained 55 pounds during my pregnancy. Thankfully the first 25 pounds came off with no effort the first few weeks postpartum but I still have 30 to go! Looking for some fellow mommas to support one another in the journey! So count me in!
