Our son is almost 6 months old. He is our third and last baby (we also have 2 daughters - 5.5yrs and 3yrs old).
I'm really tired of using the excuse"well, I just had a baby!" i want to get in shape for me and them!

anyone else???

    I have a nine month old daughter and gained 90lbs during my pregnancy. I agree, especially because that excuse won't work when she's 9 years old.

    I used that excuse until my daughter was 21! I can't use it anymore!

    Mine is 2 1/2 and I honestly thought in my head "well he is only "2". That was my awakening!

    Girl me too. I have a 3 1/2 yo and 10 month old twins. I dont want to use that excuse anymore either. I am 5lbs away from my pre-pregnacy weight with the twins and 23lbs away from my pre-pregnacy weight with my 3 1/2 yo. By the twins 1st b-day I want to weight less than I did when I got pregnant with them. I have until April 13th.

    I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and an 8 (well 9 on Monday) month old son. They really need a Mommy who can play with them.

    Yep, have a 3 year old and a 10 month old. I started on this site when the youngest was about 5 months and I know she is my last so I decided to get this done!
    I took an additional 10 pounds off my original goal and it feels great!!! I could never of come this far without MFP!

    It looks like you are well on your way! Keep it rolling!!!!

    Well...you did just have a baby! Give yourself a little bit of a break! It took 9 1/2 months to gain the weight and you are obviously not just sitting around according to your weight loss so far. Instead of thinking of it as an excuse, use it as a motivational mantra to get fit and healthy for your little one :-) You are doing great!
