Hey! I'm new to this site, and I need some motivation. I just recently had a baby and I'm the biggest I've ever been in my life! For the first month after my daughter was born, I ate pretty good, and exercised daily, but she's now 3 months, and I've slacked off so bad. So, I need help people! I need motivation, and I need to lose some friggen weight!

    Congratulations!! The life of beinga new mom definently takes ALOT out of you! More then you realize sometimes! Once you start seeing the energy benefits of healthy eating (and drinking :)) you will become addicted. Besides there are mommies on here willing to offer advice (take it or leave it in my opinion) to make things easier

    Thanks so much everybody!
    I love being a mom, but I'm always so busy that I just grab take out as I go! And sometimes I don't have time to eat, or I forget to eat. And in turn, I have no energy.

    I will definitely join that Christmas challenge! Would love to be in shape by then!

    Thanks again! :)

    Congratulations on your precious bundle! Be gentle with yourself, as you know pregnancy makes huge demands on us, but isn't the payoff the greatest? Try to make time for adequate nutrition and rest, first!!! Maybe work in walks behind the stroller regularly, and do some short bursts of calisthenics, part of an exercise DVD, but don't stress out. My biggest problem when I was getting up in the night with the babies was that I was grabbing quick sugar fixes to make up for the missing sleep. It's hard to manage weight with that pattern.

    i'm in the same boat as you girl i am also looking for someone to constiantly be on me and motivation and i know all about eating whatever. I'm on the road a lot with work so always having to grab something through the drive through but i started brining around an ice chest bag with a lunch in it, saves money and pounds. Feel free to add me I just started this week and love it, my coworkers have already noticed a boost in my confidence thanks to Carolinamomma3 sooooo awsome such an inspiration and I strive to follow her footsteps.

    Welcome to MFP. You asked for motivation, but i'll lend some advice instead. You've got to find your own motivation. It's in you, just find it. Wanna live long enough to see mama's new little angel grown up and play with your grandkids? What makes you tick? Why do you want this? When you find those answers, write them down and place them where you can see them every single day! There's your motivation, there's your fire girl!!

    Now with that said, you have came to the perfect place for support! The members here are amazing. Whenever I'm having a rough day, just reading everyones status and forum posts seem to pull me through! It doesn't get any better.

    Best wishes on obtaining your goals. :)
