I had my son 8 months ago, and I CANNOT get the last 15 pounds off, but ideally I would like to lose 20. I love my son and wouldn't trade him for the "best" body in the world, but I need help getting back on the bandwagon! Please tell me I am not alone!

    Not alone! My son is almost 8 months. I am trying to lose the last 25 lbs. I gained 45 lbs total during pregnancy. I immediately lost 20 and then stalled in November and didn't start trying to get the rest off until the end of January. I'm getting married in August so I gotta be back to normal by then! Add me! :)

    My little guy is almost 9 months...,unfortunately I can't blame most of my weight on him! It was there before he entered the picture. I had gestational diabetes and that scared me a little bit, so now I'm on a mission to have a much healthier way of life.
    Good luck with those stubborn pounds!

    Mine is 5 months old. I need to lose about 20 to get to pre baby weight, then another 30-40 on top of that!!! Its so hard but I cant afford to carry around all of this extra weight for years. I want it gone right meow ;)

    Ok so my son is much older than most of your alls, hell be two in July BUT I am still trying to lose weight. I weighed 150 before and was looking all good lol. I gained about 60 lbs with him, lost 20 when he was born, then gained 40 back. I weighed 230 last summer and have lost 36 lbs so far down to 194. My goal is 145-150. Feel free to add me! I am on here everyday and am always looking for good support system!

    Thanks

    You aren't alone, my daughter will be 2 the end of May and I am also trying to lose the weight still/again ... I wasn't to worried initially as we had a rough start my daughter was 5 weeks early then when she was 3 weeks old had surgery, my weight was the last thing on my mind! Now she's healthy and I can focus on myself a little more. My goal would be 145-150 as well, looking short term, under 200 then 175...We can do it ladies!

    Had a baby nearly two weeks ago, and have lost 14 lbs. I still have 48 lbs (or something awful like that) to go, but I'm trying to give it my all.

    Mine is turning 1 at the end of the month. I lost the baby weight plus a extra 37lbs now. But it took me a year of hard work. Just now its coming off easier. But I do have lots of extra weight also.

    Well....sort of. I had my THIRD baby a year ago. I don't have any baby weight left, but some lbs. that were hanging around before. Plus after all those babes I need serious toning!! I'm sure you understand all about that. Add me anyone if you like. I'm here every single day :)

    My youngest will be two the end of this month. I am about where I was when I got pregnant with him, but that's still 35 pounds heavier than I was when I got pregnant the first time with his almost-4 year old brother. Ideally would like to lose about 45 more. No more babies in my future, time to get my body back!!

    Good luck ladies!
