Hello. My name is Maria. I'm a 26 year old new mommy to a 9 month old. I'm also getting married in October so I'm a new mommy bride to be. I started MFP in January and have lost roughly 20lbs of my baby weight. I'm down to the remaining 30 lbs for my goal weight. Only about 10 lbs of that remaining 30 is baby weight and the rest is weight I've struggled to lose since high school. I'm looking to add friends that can help motivate me and that I can help motivate in return. Since I am nursing I cannot do many diets and can only rely on exercise and trying to change my habits to more healthy ones. Both of which I'm finding difficult!!!!

Hope to gain some friends and get to my goal. Feel free to add me or message me. Thank you for reading and good luck with all your goals!

    HI Maria i am Joy I live in the UK I am 40, mum to 3 children marcus 16 and twins piers and lydia 7. i work as a midwife and i am married to miles. I enjoy exercise especially running, zumba, kettlebells and weight lifting. I exercise most days. i have lost 19.5 lbs and have a further 11.5 to go depending how i feel when i get to that stage. I gained more weight after my twins were born than i did in pregnancy. I am in a good place at the moment I have never been happier with my body and although there is room for improvement my confidence has increased tenfold. Feel free to add me.

    Hi Maria

    My name is Jessica. I am also a new mom (well, mom of three boys, but the youngest is 5 months). I am still breastfeeding exclusively so I am on the same page as you for diets and exercise.

    Also, I have a blog at jessicapeaches.blogspot.com which is chronicling my weight loss journey, day by day. Feel free to give it a read. I'm currently doing Jillian Michaels 90 Day Body Revolution, and am on day 63. So I am not sure what happens after!

    Feel free to add me as a friend. I hope I can provide some motivation to you and help when you need it!

    Jessica
