Hello Everyone! My Name is Jen and I am a 27 year old mother of 2! I have a 4 year old boy, and a 4 1/2 month old little girl! Before I got pregnant with my son I lost 40 lbs, and then gained 80 being pregnant. After I had him it seemed like the weight just fell off. Somehow over the following years though I gained almost 50 lbs. Then I got pregnant with my daughter. I shot up to 227 at delivery, and wanted to die. Here I am now, after being on a hardcore diet for a month and a half and I am at 170. (My baby weight came off from breastfeeding). I am looking forward to not failing, and hopefully will see that much wanted 125 in the future!

  • Hello nice to c im not the only one!

    I delivered this december at 205 I am now at 162 and counting down but boy it is a struggle. Keep up the good work gals. Keep in touch for motivation please.
  • I'm working on the baby weight too. None of mine came off while breastfeeding! I've got about 5pounds left and my son is 21months! I'm working on losing these last 5 pounds plus about 5 more (maybe 10) and then starting over with baby #2. GL! You'll get there
