Hello! I am new to the site, and am loving it!! I kept a little bit of weight after each pregnancy with each of my 3 boys. Before having kids, I weighed about 140, and now I'm at 168 yesterday and 166 today :) So excited to do this, I just hope I can stick with it!! I have a VERY hard time eating seperate from my family, and my husband is such a wonderful cook, yikes, I have alot of mind set to do! Wish me luck!!

    I love this site too. My husband cooks also. I finally got him to see the importance of everyone eating a little bit healthier, so I don't feel so deprived, when him and the kids are eating. Espcially now that he has actually gain weight too. So now he eats what I eat and we made changes to the whole family's diet. Hang in there, ITS SOOOOOOOOO WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Good luck!! I am trying to lose baby weight too! I never lost weight from my son and now trying to lose the weight from my son and daughter! Friend me if you want! I am friends with a lot of moms in similar situations. We are mostly breastfeeding.

    Thank you all for all the encouragement!! I have talked to my husband about eating healthier, but, so far it hasn't done any good. Maybe he doesn't realize how I actually feel about being the size that I am. I don't like it and want to be back to the size I was when we first met in 2002. 26 more pounds to go :) It is so hard to eat seperate, so I need to get my husband on the ball and get cooking healthier!!

    Janis - I breastfed my last baby the first 9 months, but he also had formula since I didn't produce enough milk for all day every day. Loved every moment of it and actually miss it! He turned 1 last week :) No more babies for me so now it is time to lose the weight!! My 1st son put 5 pounds on me, my 2nd son however put 30 pounds on me and I kept every bit of it!! My 3rd son actually took off 2 pounds... weird... but hey, thats great!!
