Hi,
I used MFP before I got pregnant to track calories and exercise. I found it to be a great tool! I love the accountability of recording everything I eat and the reward of getting to write up my exercise.
I'm 9 weeks post partum. I got as high as 240 with the baby and am currently 211. I'm hoping to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 195 (the day I got the positive) quickly and then keep taking off the pounds to my former first goal of 185. My ultimate goal is to be between 160 and 165 and participating in lots of sports again (I am 5'7").
I'm currently easing in with lots of walking (my adorable dog) and C25K. I only record the dog walks if they are fast enough to get my heart rate up. I'm adding in some free weights, sit-ups, and push-ups (from knees) but won't record until they reach at least my former level - I'm just doing enough now to remind my body what it used to do.
I would love some other moms as friends on here for encouragement and inspiration!
Please add me or let me know if you'd like me to add you.
Good luck everyone.

I just sent you a FR. VERY weird how we are at the same point postpartum and have the same stats (5'7", high weight pregnant was 240)! I am 208.5 now, but the scale has been up to 210-211 the past few days for some reason. My baby won't let me put him down so I can work out, and it's way too hot and humid here to do anything outside. Once it cools down I am doing C25K again (I did it in 2011.
ETA that I have dogs, too, but they don't cooperate on runs

Solution: Skwatz with baby!
OP: I just had mine 6 months ago and am working on dropping about another 40 or so lbs. I'm at 189 and 5'8" now. You are more than welcome to add me, however I will warn you that I'm sarcastic and nerdy.
