My name is Krissy. I have a son who will be 1within a month. I really hoped that I would be back in shape by now but Im not. I used to be 250 lbs a few years ago but got my weight down to 155lbs and got pregnant. I gained 50lbs during my pregnancy and just havent gotten them off. I suffered from PPD for a while and I just didnt care about myself at all. Well, Im ready for a fresh start and Im looking for others to be a good influence...thanks MFP peeps

    HI honey,

    My son turned one in Feb 2012. I too am just now trying to shed the baby weight (plus my own too much weight from before I was pregnant). I am 5'0 and started at 187 lbs (now at 180 lbs). I would ultimately like to lost about 50 lbs but my first goal is 30 lbs.

    Add me if you want to :)

    Hi There! I'm a dad of two, and I can still relate!

    Over a 10 year period or so, I packed on weight. In February, I started Power 90, and I'm 3 weeks away from completing P90X. I've lost 42 lbs so far! I have used MFP for the last 5 months. Proper nutrition and exercise really work!

    Send me a buddy request on MFP and let's support each other!

    I am trying to lose the baby weight from 4 kids. I have 5. One is adopted so no weight gain from him ;) I love having mom or dad friends. It's hard to fit in exercise with little ones around.

    I'm surprised to see a few of you suffered from PPD. It definantly can hinder weight loss. All I heard was how rare it is and how no one talks about it but I have met alot of people now. Thanks for letting me know Im not alone
