in Introduce Yourself
I joined MFP awhile back but never really followed it, but now that I just had my second baby, I am ready to get active again. I have about 8 lbs to lose to get to my pre-pregnancy weight, but I would like to loose about 11 lbs total. Now that I am a mother of 2 and will be returning back to work, I know I am going to need some motivation to stay on track and keep me focused. Looking for some friends who are active and willing to be friends.

    You can do it! You should consider adding my friend ( http://www.myfitnesspal.com/PottsvilleCurse1925 ). She just had her 6th baby, and is healing from an rather nasty episiotomy.

    I am SAHM, and can relate!
    It's about smaller changes at a time....and be encouraged by that progress.
    Small changes add up quickly to big ones, and they are WONDERFUL!

    I just had twins 4 weeks ago, i WISH i only had 9 lbs to lose! lol.. you can do it :).. Just stay motivated.. i know thats hard, but find something to focus on, like a new bikini or some other reward to give yourself at the end. Before i had my first daughter who is now 21 months i lost 90 lbs in 6 months.. i felt GREAT afterwards, but I've gained about 60 lbs in 21 months between my first and second pregnancy.. my goal is to lose 50, since i was down 30 before joining.
