It's time to shift the baby weight

I've recently joined MFP to track my daily diet as I do the 30 day shred (which I started Monday). I'm a 20 year old mother to a beautiful 7 month old boy and I feel now is the time to kick myself into gear and finally shift this stubborn baby weight.
I'm currently 154lb, 5ft2" but would like to achieve my target of 120lb within the next year.

I hope to meet some fellow mummies who can help me stay motivated on the track to yummy mummy-ville!!

    Been there. I'm now pregnant with baby #4 and will have the same goals when I have her in January.

    30 Days Shred kicks my butt, but I've never actually completed it. Good luck, mama!

    Hey, some of us (ahem) waited till the second one was in pre-school before looking to shift the baby weight! :tongue:
    I'm a mum to 2 boys (6 and 4) and I found running...great because you can just put your shoes on and go! I work full time so every second counts.
    Would like to finish 30 day shred but unfortunately pregnancy has left me with an abdominal separation (diastasis) so I can only do the cardio bit grrr. I should do Pilates but it's so boring! However, I am a size 10 now (US size 6) and maintaining at 115-119lb (I'm 5' 2.5") so I'm coping :glasses:
    Good luck!
