New here and looking for fellow moms for motivation

LIzH84

I'm a 27 year old mom of 4 girls who are 6, 4, 3 and 2. I gained so much weight from all my pregnancies but was never able to lose the weight mostly due to me giving up way too often. I really have my mind set on losing the weight, I really want to have my tubal ligation reversed sometime in the near future but need to be at a healthy weight for the surgery. Despite my tubes being tied I ended up being pregnant last month but on April 1 I had to receive shots to end my pregnancy due to it being ectopic. We were so excited to be pregnant again then we lost our baby, this made us realize how much we really would like to have more children in the future. So any motivation would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to MFP. I totally know how you feel. I have 2 girls & a boy, 6, 4, & 1. I haven't been able to lose any weight in between pregnancies either. It has been really frustrtating. I also know how you feel about losing your baby. I had a miscarriage before having any children and lost another one before having my 3rd. It is devestating. My reason for losing weight is also to have more children.

I will add you as a friend so we can motivate each other!

Hello,

You are in the right place. I absolutely love this site!!!! You will dropping pounds like crazy. I have a 7 year old and she has actually gotten to where she will remind me to work out if she hasn't seen me do it by 8:00 in the evening and she will do it with me. Once you get it in your routine, you will feel funny if you don't work out. I'm here to help you along when you need it. You can add me as a friend.

Good luck!!!!
