Hello Ladies! Im a mother of two, my daughter will be 3 in June and my son will be 6 months March 22. I lost about 40 lbs before I found out I was pregnant but pregnancy took it toll and I gained about 60 pounds. (EEECK) I am actually back down to my first pre-pregnancy size - but its not a healthy weight for me. Im looking forward to getting to know others that are in need of encouragement and support cause I NEED IT too! Im also breastfeeding my son and hoping I can lose some weight but also keep my milk supply intact! Any support or help in this area would be much appreciated! Looking forward to being a part of this board :happy:

    hey there mother of two also my son is 9 years old and my baby girl will be 3 months March 10. I have quite a bit of weight to lose even though I have lost all the pregnancy weight. Good luck it is tough and we try to support as much as possible.

    There are tons of awesome mommies in this group! Some of the best support I have found on MFP :)

    I'm a mom of one - my little guy is 5 months old.

    I have a 3 year old son and an 8 month old and am still breastfeeding (trying for the full year!). I was at my goal weight and only gained the alloted max of 35 lbs, but I'm still about 8 lbs away from pre-preggo and 3 sizes bigger (post partum body stinks!). Welcome to MFP! We need more mommies on here!

    MFP is great! My boy will be one next week. I've lost everything I gained with him and am working on the last 20 pounds I gained with the twins.

    Hi, and welcome! I'm also a mum of 2, although mine are a bit older. My son will be 4 in June and my daughter will be 2 in May. I'm smaller now than before I got pregnant with my son, but I still have that leftover baby belly that I need to work on. I've lost 60lbs since my daughter was 8 weeks old.

    Hi! I also have two children, 6 months old and an almost 8 year old. I've lost all the baby weight from baby number two but would like to lose the weight I didn't lose from baby number 1! So I'm working on trying to lose 15 pounds for my mini goal and about 35 -40 for my main goal. We will see how I do when I get to my mini goal and reassess from there. Anyways, welcome!

    I am a mother of a 3 yr old and 22 weeks pregnant with baby #2. I am 100 lbs above my pre pregnancy weight of 2009. My goal is to loose 60 of the 100 lbs one year after I have this baby in July :)
