I'm 28 yrs old, about 5'1 and weight 231 lbs and I'm ready to get rid of it. I have a 4 yr old and a 2 yrs old. Between having the two babies I was unable to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight. I finally feel like now is the time. I hoping to connect with others dealing with the same experience or others. :smile:

    Hi there! My little girl is 3 and I have yet to get rid of the baby weight, lol. I did well through my whole pregnancy and didn't gain too much weight, but towards the end I started eating whatever I wanted and old habits die hard. I think it's finally time to feel good about my body again. We can do this! :)

    Hi there,

    I have a 3 year old and joined in may, lost a whole load of weight, and then decided I could eat whatever I liked again and lets say it kicked my *kitten*! I am now back at 170 lbs and ready to lose 37lbs maybe more. Feel free to friend me :smile: We all need the motivation and just general support! We can all do it! Its always doable! :flowerforyou:

    Hi ladies : )

    I'm 35 and had my first baby, my gorgeous son, in November 2011. I actually lost weight whilst pregnant! I had horrendous morning sickness for the first 6 months and had lost 9kgs in the first trimester alone! After my son was born I was 21kgs LIGHTER than my pre pregnancy weight! I was really happy at that weight/size but almost 10 months later the weight has slowly started to creep back on (despite promising myself that wouldn't happen...) and I'd like to lose weight before it creeps up even more.

    I'll gladly accept any friends/support on here as I'm a Brit living in a remote part of Australia with an Aussie husband who can eat anything and everything without gaining weight (grrr...!) so he's not overly supportive and dislikes healthy food. Being so far away from family and my girlfriends makes it's a bit more challenging. Therefore feel free to add me!

    I'm hoping to be a few kilos lighter before my 36th birthday (in October) so feel free to give me a kick up the butt when required! ; )

    I am always willing to listen and support others and this is the first time I've actually asked for some support myself : ) I'm doing this to be healthy and set a good example to my son, and for myself. I used to be very fit and have a good understanding and knowledge of nutrition, I just need some support!

    We can do this together ladies! Lets be the best we can be for our kids and ourselves : ) xxx

    I have 2 of my own (1 8y/o who's mine too, but I didn't give birth) who are 4.5 and 1.5 so our kiddos are pretty close in age range :) I gained a TON of weight before I had my second and have slowly worked some off, but trying to get serious now. It's hard! But if you're committed and have a good support system, you can do it!
