Made an account last night after reading a blog that I found on Pinterest! (Any Pinterest addict?) After reading her story, it seemed harmless to make a MFP account. *Her story short, she gained weight after having a baby and never lost it. Went on vacation and saw a picture afterwards and she didn't like the way she looked and joined MFP too.*
My Story now - In high school and college, I was always fit from playing soccer and walking everywhere. Years later, got married and got comfortable and gained weight. Now, I have 2 girls both under the age of 2 and I gained even more weight. I breastfeed my oldest and still am with my youngest. I always read that you lose your baby weight from bf so I didn't take inconsideration of watching what I ate. Since I am a SAHM, I snack constantly and eat my daughter's left overs because I dont want to throw it away Well I still have my baby weight and some.
Sometimes my family stumble upon my Senior pictures and my oldest and nephew always says its one of their aunties I'd like to look like I was in high school or when I become more comfortable with my body again.
I guess my point to starting this new journey is I want to be in control and feel better about myself. I want to be the mom that has the energy to play with them. I want to be the sexy wife my husband will be proud of. And I want to wear the skinny jeans too and not the maternity skinny jeans!! LOL I hope to find inspiration and motivation from you guys.

Welcome! I'm a newbie as well. Like you, I'm trying to lose weight that I gained since having a little one. My problem is that I struggle to find the time to get active. I'm motivated to make it a priority now, though.0
