Just had a baby (San Diego)

Hi my name is Darcy and I just had a baby in March. I am trying to find other people who also just had a baby and are trying to lose weight. I have about 50 lbs to lose right now. I plan on losing 30lbs in 3 months

Hi! Sorry that I'm not in your boat (much too old, thank you very much), but I was in your boat once, and I would like to offer just a few words of friendly advice (if you don't mind).

1. Don't try to lose too much too fast, especially if you are breastfeeding.
2. If you ARE breastfeeding, and if (like me) you increased bra sizes exponentially, remember that those girls weigh something and you shouldn't plan to lose THAT weight until you stop breastfeeding.
3. Don't be too hard on yourself. Find ways to affirm the wonderful, beautiful woman that you are along the way. There is no woman in the world as beautiful as you are to your baby. And I'm sure your husband feels much the same.
4. Especially give yourself kudos for trying to take care of yourself. It's the oxygen on the airplane thing--you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of anyone else.

All the best to you as you raise this beautiful little one.

Congrats on your new addition. I've got 3 kids and 1 due in 4 weeks - which I am currently griping about on an almost daily basis. *sigh*
