in Introduce Yourself
Hi,

I'm fairly new to MFP. I'm the Mom to 2 beautiful kids (2 1/2 yrs, and almost 9 months) and the other day someone asked my when my baby is due.

Clearly, it's time for me to make some lifestyle changes and get back into shape. I have a closet full of clothes I haven't worn for 3 years and would love to feel good about myself again.

I look forward to hearing from anyone else who has had to struggle through lifestyle changes and trying to stay positive and motivated!

    I totally know how you feel. I have a 5 year old and a 17 month old. I was always thin and really cared about my body and how it looked before I had my 5 year old. After she was born, I worked out, but did not eat the way I should. I kept about 20lbs extra on until about 3 months before I got pregnant with my son. I got down to about the same plateau weight that I was before(150-155) and stayed there until January. I started doing pilates along with my other workouts, and I really pay attention to what I'm eating. I am now back down to my prebaby weight, and I've really toned up. It can be done! It is hard work, but is totally worth it, just like mommyhood.

    I have four kids and it is very very hard to find the motivation, time, energy and willpower to lose baby weight. I have made huge strides since February, but still have a ways to go. My kids are 7, 5.5, 4 and 11 months.

    I hope being on here helps you find the motivation and accountability to help you lose the weight you want. I know it has helped me! I hate logging empty calories in. :-)

    Good luck!!!!!!!!!
