I'm new too!

I just had my fourth baby, ten days ago. He's perfect, but I'm shaped like a baloon. I never lost the weight from my first child and regained the weight from my third before this pregnancy began. I've always wanted a big family. So I'm looking for a way to have a big family without a big body. I need a way to manage weight gain through pregnancy, weight loss after, and healthy living no mater how many people my body is suporting! No big deal, right?

I'm also new to this. Lots older than you, but I have to tell you, I'm still losing the baby weight and my "baby" is a newly-married 24-year-old. So, no, it's not easy, but I think programs like this one might make it a little easier. I admire you. You are already trying to balance so many things and yet you understand that if you don't take care of yourself, you can't be a healthy mom. Good luck and hang in there!
