My name is Michelle. I'm 21 and just had my second child. I put on 40 pounds with my recent pregnancy and only lost 5 after I had my daughter. I would like to lose the extra weight that I packed on. :)

    ola! Welcome. I gained 30 pounds and it took me almost 9 months to get it all off.. Feel free to add me. I am going to strive to lose some more weight. I log in daily and food diary is open

    I totally understand! I have 4 children - when I was pregnant with our first I was already about 30 pounds overweight. I gained about 40 with each kid - retaining about 10 after each delivery......so 30+10+10+10+10 = a lot of pounds to lose!!!! BUT THIS IS THE YEAR!!!!

    I have 2 girls and packed on the lbs with both pregnancies! I'm committed to making a lifestyle change (versus another diet) for me, and my girls. Feel free to add me! The support you find on MFP is definitely a key factor!

    Thanks everyone. I've heard it's harder to lose the weight with your second and any other pregnancies that follow. Let's hope it's not too hard!

    Don't put too much pressure on yourself, being a mum to young kids is hard enough. Sometimes you want to appreciate your you time. When my daughter was little, my me time would be in the gym. (I lost a fair bit of weight and them fell from the wagon!)

    You will do it honey, just enjoy the journey and don't get too worried about it x

    Add me if you want to x
