in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I am a sahm of 2, a baby girl who will be 3 in March and a baby boy who is 14 months. I weighed 150 until i stated trying to get pregnant with my first. When it took longer than expected, i got depressed and put on 30 lbs. I lost 15 lbs before getting pregnant, but then i have just been gaining. I still have 12 lbs to go until i am back to my pre second pregnancy weight. I get tired all the time and my knees and joints ache from the added weight. My stomache muscle will probably look right without surgery, but i want to at least get rid of the weight. I just started working out with fitness evolve 2012 for the xbox Kinect and i have a gym membership that i don't use mealy enough.

I do better when i have lots of friends checking in on me. Please feel fee to add me!

    Hi Kayla,

    I'm also a sahm, of a 4 year old son and a 13 month old daughter, I also have a 20 year old son I know a big age gap there but I got remarried and we ended up having 2 kids together. I have about 40 more pounds to go and its getting so much harder now the first 40 pounds came off pretty easy but then the past 3 months have been really tough, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, at least its a new year now and all the christmas candy and cookies are gone. I need some new lunch ideas I usually eat a Lean Cuisne because I'm so sick of sandwhiches but even the lean cuinsies are getting old, I go to they gym about 5-6 times a week depending on how I'm feeling since I have lupus. I would love to try and keep you motivated I know how much help I need so if I can help out I will.

    Hi! It is nice to meet you. I'm a sahm however my girls are 14 and 8years old. I gained 60 pounds with my first daughter too bad I only lost about 30 pounds (w/weight watchers right before I got preg w/ daughter 2) and then I gained more weight when I got preg. w/my other daughter. Had her and didn't lost much weight after her. I again joined ww and lost some weight then massive stress came into play and an anxiety attack, the dr put me on some meds and I gained 60 pounds :huh: and I quit taking those meds. I lost 25 pounds already but I'm not counting that in my ticker. I started back on WW and have lost a few pounds and now I'm thinking of leaving ww (because I don't want to pay for something I can get for free, I don't attend meetings just do it online) and come to MFP full time. I usually just read the message boards and don't participate much but I'm trying to change that on here because I'm wondering if that will help my cause. Good luck in your journey!
