Hi! I am new on here and my goal is to lose 60 pounds. I already had lost 38, then we found out I was pregnant and I packed on the pounds...had the baby on March 9th and am currently two pounds more than when I lost the original weight. I really want to stay motivated and I am an ex-Weight Watcher but can't afford to go back to them at this point. Would love to make some weight loss friends and get ideas for exercises I can do in the house easily.

    Hello, It looks like from your username you're the mom of 3 boys. Is this correct? I am too. I've never been on weight watchers. I never gained weight with my pregnancies due to hyperemisis gravidarum, but my weight gain was in between pregnancies.

    I put myself on a 1200 calorie per day diet, walk at least 1-2 miles per day and while I've not lost any weight, I have lost 2 pant sizes (muscle weights more than fat). Hopefully the pounds will start melting off soon.

    I live in rural Southern MN.

    Housecleaning does count as calories burned.

    Good luck and congratulations on the new baby.
