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:

    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 :)
