Hello! I am new to this forum/website/app. I am a new mama (my littlest daughter is 4 months old) and I have a 5 year old. This is not my first jog around the weight loss block. I am having a lot harder of a time with it this time around though! I am 28 years old (29 in a few weeks! Yikes!) and am currently about 205lbs at 5'6. Not exactly were I want to be! I am a small build so according to my doctor 125-135 is a healthy weight for me- I am shooting for 130 and I will see where I get but 75lbs is a long way to go! OMG I didn't realize it was that much! :( I won't go into the whole story but a depressing and hateful first marriage brought me from 118-171 and then I had my first daughter- up to 223...hard work brought me down to 165, back up to 190, separation brought me back down to 168, new relationship and too much baking - back up to 185, pregnant with second daughter, up to 226 and then now I have lost 20 lbs or so of that baby weight and am now stuck at 205 again. My first goal is to get back to 185 so I can consider this baby weight gone, then 170 so I an consider all of my baby weight gone lol but I am lost here. I hope this works!

    The weight game is one that is hard to play. I want off the carousel. This time I am really serious and am going to do it. I left mfp and gained 30 so I know this is an important part of staying on tract. I am 59 but feel free to add me as a friend. My motto is you can never have to many friends.

    I am a mama of a soon-to-be 4 year old little girl....best thing that ever happened, but I too, gained 30 lbs and never lost it. I had a c-section so my belly is saggy and looks like im still pregnant. I hate the way I look and feel and feel so unattractive. I didn't even dance on the dance floor last night. But I am not going to get down on myself. Time to start this MFP...once again
