I'm a stay-at-home mom to four little boys (ages 5 and under). When it comes to weight gain while pregnant, I'm a total pro. I gained 90 lbs with my oldest, 55 with my 3 year-old, 45 with my 2 year-old and 35 with my 9.5 month-old. Because I had them all very close together, I still have a pesky 80 lbs left to go. :o)

Weight loss is a difficult thing and I'm excited to be part of a group of people who are going through the same thing as I am!

Today is day 1 and so far, so good! :bigsmile:

    Ha ha! Yeah, I was overweight and had lost weight before having kids, too! I was about a size 4/6 right before I got pregnant with my first and gained 90 lbs. NEEDLESS to say, I haven't been that small since. :sad: Chances are, I won't be that small again, but I'll be healthy and smaller than I am!! :happy:

    I need some motivation, too. I am a single mother of only one 3 year old and I am constantly working trying to make ends meet. This leaves very little time for the TLC that I need to keep myself going. I have been on this system for a couple months (off and on, I am afraid) but I never tried to communicate with anyone and I thought it was time to start. I welcome you and hope that you welcome me as well!

    Here's to us making it happen!
