Hello! I'm a 26 year old momma currently a size 18 (haven't had much luck loosing weight after my baby was born) in 2016 when I got pregnant I was 194 and a size 14, my goal has always been to be a size 10-12. After having my little man I gained and am currently a size 18 at 225 pounds (my boy turns a year in 3 weeks). I want to get back down and be healthy so I can plan another little baby :) looking for support and other people to help out in return! Add me

    Hello! My son is 2.5 but I’m in a similar boat. Im also older than you. ;) But I was high 160’s when I got pregnant, gained a healthy amount of weight during most of my pregnancy and lost most of it. And yet, somehow in 2.5 years, it’s crept on and then some. Would love to give and share support!
    And of course would love to be a size 10 lol

    I would love to be a size 10....I haven't seen that in a while. I'm 33. My little one will be 2 on 4/25. I have sooooo much weight to lose. I gained more weight with this pregnancy than my others and I had my smallest baby!!! I'll add you guys.

    Hi I’m in a similar position I started as a uk 18 and my goal is to get into a Uk 12, I’m older too and have 4 kids, I lost the weight after the first 3 but after no4 arrived 7 years ago my weight has really crept up and I would like to get back to pre baby me. I started at 204lbs and I’m now 190lbs and at the moment getting into a size 16 but still have a fair amount to lose to reach my target.

    Same problem. After I had my baby I lost the baby weight but was already size 14-16uk size however being on maternity leave and snacking meant I gained more weight than during pregnancy and was up to size 18-20. Lost some weight and now in size 16 but looking to get smaller. Feel free to add me :)

    I have a similar story. I had my second kid in 2012 starting out at 194 lbs. Between moving, searching for a job, working full time, and being depressed, I went up to 225. I’m down to 211 but I’ve been as low as 204. I can’t seem to sustain a diet and exercise plan. Are you checking in regularly?
