in Introduce Yourself
8 days PP with my second child. I've a bit of weight to lose but am determined to get it finished in 2013. Looking for friends/motivation. I've used MFP in the past but it's been awhile. This week I'm getting into the habit of tracking (wow do I eat like crap sometimes!) and then moving forward from there.

Love friends of all shape/sizes :smile: but especially if you are a new mom, mom to infant/toddlers, mom to more than one child and/or full-time working mom!

    I'm a SAHM to a 7yo and a 4yo. Feel free to add me!

    Congrats on your new treasure - I hope you and the little one are feeling well. If you're nursing (or pumping), you will love how it helps your body to snap back - it can make real difference!

    Not sexism - I did say I like friends of all shapes/sizes (perhaps I should have added gender too??).

    I have teenaged daughter, but I take care of my infant niece, and I'll be trying for a 2nd child in a year or so. Please add some extra calories if you're breastfeeding. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

    ETA: It looks like we have about the same amount to lose, too.

    I'm a new mom sorta kinda. My bonus child is 7 (not the birth momma) and my other child is 2.
    I pretty much raise both of them on my own since my husband is gone alot ( training, deployments).
    I'm currently not working but plan to start within the near future. But I am getting enrolled to start school in the spring.

    Remember, IF you're breastfeeding to be sure you're getting enough calories.

    as you said, replace the 'crap' with good stuff and you're on your way. Enjoy the little one, the weight will come off eventually.

    Hi, what worked for me best is the Jillians Michaels protein drinks. The key to weight loss is to only eat what your body will use, the protein drinks, though they take gettiing use to, works well for that. You get your whole meal in 200cals instead of 600 or so...

    I'm a new mom of a 2 week old little boy. I'm really motivated to lose this weight. This is my first baby and its pretty stressful because I'm learning as I go along. I just finally begin eating again. I'm tired all the time. But I know if I get in shape I will have more energy. I'm looking for new friends that can give me some advice. Feel free to add me. I'm working on my profile and will add more information soon. :D
