    Hi everyone,

    I am one week PP after having my little girl on Valentine's Day via emergency c section. I never expected to be recovering from surgery, and so I am having to modify the plan I had to loose the weight before my sister's wedding in August. I have a 9 year old and 14 month old in addition to my newborn. I have been breastfeeding my 14 month old from birth and plan to continue nursing for at least another two years. At one week PP I have lost 12 of the 35lbs I put on,leaving me at 20lbs to my goal weight. I am excited to see the weight come off and getting into shape for those wedding pictures!

    Hi there, I'm Jessie.

    I recently lost nearly 20 pounds. After many failed diets, this felt great! But recently I've put back on 5 of those pounds. I'm very motivated to make that weight loss stick and reach my goal weight.

    Feel to friend me if you are looking for someone to do tackle your extra pounds with.

    Cheers,
    Jessie

    Still working on baby weight here as well. My daughter will be 3 in May, I gained 35 with her and only lost 20 before getting pregnant again. My son will be 11 months next week, I gained another 35 with him and have only lost 15 so far. Unfortunately I seem to be one of the unlucky ones who doesn't lose weight while BFing. I was a lower weight the end of last summer but all the working out crashed my supply and it took about a month to get it back. I ended up gaining a lot of what I had lost back. Now that he's older we're slowly starting the milk transition and he's not all that interesting in nursing anymore so I'm back to serious workouts :)

    Hi!

    I'm Jill. I had my daughter 8.5 months ago, and I seriously began trying to lose weight after about 3 weeks postpartum. Was spinning my wheels despite regularly going to the gym until I found MFP in November (forgot that I had signed up a few months earlier!). On my own I had only lost 2 lbs over those first 5 months. With MFP I've lost 21 lbs in the subsequent 3 months :smile:. Can't believe the difference calorie counting has made!

    Hello all! I have a 5 year old and 1 year old twins and finally feel ready to take on the weight loss challenge. I was lucky to not gain much weight while pregnant, however, I've held steady at about 190 lbs (with lots of belly fat) for as long as I can remember and would like to get below the "overweight" BMI percentage and lose 50 lbs (or more!). Also, I have a trip to France and my 20 year high school reunion this summer! I started MFP about two weeks ago and have managed to walk or yoga everyday and already I've lost 6 lbs. I can't believe the energy I have! It would be wonderful to connect with other busy moms who have to exercise at "naptime".

    Hi there, I am 7 weeks postpartum tomorrow. I am here looking for support, encouragement and inspiration to continue my journey to fitness. I am 28, 5'7" and was always around 140 lbs. until the time I got married/pregnant, at which time my weight went up to 150 lbs. Then I got pregnant and gained a ton! I was 208 when I delivered. I had a c-section so I haven't been able to exercise, but have just been eating really clean and healthy - I am now down to 163 lbs. I want to eventually get back to 135 or 140 lbs. It's great to see others who have accomplished their goals on this site, and to know there are other ladies in similar boats to me. I am planning to walk an hour a day with my baby. Hoping to get to my weightloss goal by November!

    Hi Ladies
    I had a beautiful baby boy 4 months ago. He is my first so I am learning how to deal with a lot of different thinks. I went back to work 4 weeks after I had him. He was being breast feed until I had to spend 3 nights at the hospital. Now I am ready to lose all the weight I have gained.
    Let’s lose weight together :) Feel free to add me.
