    Help!!! My second child is 5months old and my oldest has just turned 4yrs old. My husband is a well accomplished Iron Man triathlete so eats HUGE meals and just runs the calories away while I stay at home looking after the kids. I'm breastfeeding so constantly hungry and tempted by my kids snacks. I have about 12kg to lose but the worst news is that I now have my school's 20yr reunion in August!!!!
    That gives me 10 weeks to lose as much as I can before I see my old school friends. I have checked some of them out on facebook and they have all had babies and are still skinny & gorgeous- how do they do it???

    I'm due on mon and have gained 59 pounds. I'm so sad. I weigh 294. I'm looking for all the motivating I can get. Also I'm here 4 others as well. I'm only 5'3 so I look terrible. I believe I have found a good support group. Ladies we can do this. We can bring the sexy back!!! Right!?

    I had my fourth child 5 months ago and the weight just isn't coming off like it did in the past. My current weight is 157 and I weighed 133 pre-pregnancy. Lots of work to do!! Good luck to all of us! :-)

    Hello everyone! I am 8 months pregnant, say... about 35 weeks. 2 months ago, my sister joined MFP and has lost over 30 pounds. she is about to break into the hundreds range from the two hundreds. I am so proud of her. She has been eating so much healthier, but she lives with me. I am a severe junky and and emotional eater. I have taken her off track several times but I don't mean to! I get cravings! lol. But, on my last test, my sugar came out higher than average, and that was an eye opener for me. Even though i cannot loose weight yet, I can start to change my eating habits. I also have a 15 month old who depends on me as well. I was in the military so loosing weight won't be too much of a problem (at least thats what I keep telling myself when I see my huge belly). My eating habits need some severe adjustments!
    I guess what I really need are some recipes that will help me get all the nutrients my baby needs. I cook a lot here at home and I know my sister can also use the support! It is amazing how counting calories make you realize all the garbage I've been taking in!

    Good morning mommies! I am new to the group. I am a 39 year old mommy of 3. Mybaby girl will be 10 months old next week. I also have a 7 year old and a 9 year old. Right now I weigh the most I have ever weighed in my life! I have been watching what I eat and exercising religiously for the past 2 weeks, and could really use some friendship/ support from others facing the same weight loss challenges. I would like to lose about 48 pounds, which would put me back where I was before my first pregnancy. I am using the myfittnesspal app on my iPad to try to keep track, as well as using a nutritionist for monthly counseling.

    Hi there!
    I lost 30 lbs prior to getting pregnant in 2010 (Aug.'10-Nov'10). I gained the 30 lbs back plus 20 more during my pregnancy (Nov.'10-Aug.'11). I initially lost around 15 lbs after having him, but they have pretty much found their way back...he's now 9 months old.
    I'm ready to shed the 50 lbs plus some more!
    I'm currently 198 (lost 12 since starting MFP in May '12), 5 ft. 4 in.

    Here is a tip incase you don't already apply to ur diet. As soon as i started eating breakfast, i started loosing weight. i had been at a stand still at 150 lbs and went down to 140 in 2 months and that was all i changed in my diet. i munched on a lot of fruits during the day as well.

    I took my measurements today. Totally depressing. I do not recommend doing that at 3 weeks post-partum :sad: On the plus side, at least I know how far I have to go to get back to "normal" right?
