Had a baby a year and a half ago. I gained 80 pounds with her and have never lost it. I feel aweful about myself and need to feel good again. Need a little encouragement from those who understand! Thanks...

When I was younger and had my daughter, I gained almost 60 pounds on my 5.4" frame. I jogged, walked, and at the time went on high protein diet (atkins) I would go on for a week, off for a few days, on for a week, off etc until I had most of it off. Never have been a huge exerciser but I did jog a few miles a week, and jumped rope after my body was ready for that. Food for thought.
If you are nursing, that will also help you because that burns a lot of calories and gets your uterus back in shape.

I bet you are an amazing and selfless mother! Now it's time for you! Try the Bar method video for sculpting. About 40 minutes and I take it with me when I travel. You can do it while baby naps. Good luck!

My son is three and I have a 6 year old as well. I totally understand where you are coming from as I have held onto my weight through all these years! In just one week on here though,I do feel like it will be helpful! Feel free to add me!
