in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I recently started MFP again after giving birth in August to help reach my weightloss goals. I ate really well while pregnant and lost 20 lbs., since then I have lost an additional 20 lbs. and looking to lose at least another 40. I am a 27 year old female, and am married with two boys, one five years old and one eight weeks old. I am an RN and work in a hopsital. I would love some support from other women my age and other moms. Together we can do this!

    Hey! we seem to have similar scenarios. Im 27, have a 3 and 1/2 yr old girl and a 2 yr old boy. I did the same while i was pregnant with my son. Ended up 20lbs lighter then pre pregnancy weight. It felt amazing to be the lightest i had been in 5 yrs. I gained about 10 back over the past 2 yrs and decided to give this a shot. i would feel horrible if i did so well during prenancy and just gained it back through everyday life. I now have about 15lbs to lose in total which doesnt sound like alot but seems impossible. Im a barber but recently started working less to spend more time with my daughter before she starts school next yr. I Feel like im constantly on the move with the two little ones, yet i can't seem to lose much before i gain it all back during a rainy weekend. Well just thought id share and wish u luck on your journey. Ive lost about 40lbs since i started my weigtloss journey about 5 yrs ago (2 pregnancies in between) so heres hoping the home stretch isn't enough to drive a mom crazy:smile:
