I had my Daughter 4 months ago and had gained almost 70lbs during my pregnancy. I was already aout 20lbs over my goal when I had found out I was pregnant and so now am working to get to that size. I have about 50lbs to go but am afraid to get discouraged as I feel I have tried everything to loose weight and just stayed the same. Any support or help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello there. I am new to MFP, I have a 4 month old baby boy aswell as a 3 year old daughter. I want to loose about 30lbs. I have been trying to loose weight since I had my daughter using weight watchers with some success, but find their new system awful. I have therefore joined MFP and am loving it.

    Happy to offer support and motivation. Add me if you want. :happy:

    Hi! I had my son 2 months ago. I gained almost 60 pounds during pregnancy. Before I found out I was pregnant I was on a healthy track, losing weight and being really active. Unfortunately even though I swore I wouldn't, once I found out there was a baby in me, most of that went out the window! I'm now down 20 pounds but still have another 40 to go just to get back to where I was a year ago. But I'm determined!! Feel free to add me if you want - we can support each other in saying bye-bye to baby weight! ;-)

    Hi there-

    I have not recently had a baby, but have had 5 kids in the past and been able to lose weight after each one of them.

    Feel free to add me for support and motivation. I have plenty of it to go around and I know what you're going through. You can totally do this!!!!
