Hi all
Its my first day today and im excited to get started I joined this to hopefully get help and support as all my family and friends live hours away so I would love some friends on here to help me out and possibly give me a kick up the bum :)
Any one in the same position as me after just having a little one?

    My daughter is almost a year old, and I didn't start losing the leftover weight until I joined MFP a couple months ago.

    Hi! I have 2 girls, 11 months and 3 years. I just got back down to the weight I was when I got pregnant with the first! Wish I had been motivated to lose it sooner. It is awesome that you are here- I think you'll love it. I've lost 18 lbs. in my 2 months of using this site. Good luck to you :)

    Best of luck! My baby is nearly 4 but it took about 3 months to lose the weight, but another 9months to get as toned as I was before! You can do it! X

    Hi - I have an almost 1 and almost 4 year old. I'm back down to my pre-pregnancy weight from my 1 year old but not the 4 year old. Then I still have a ways to go to get down to where I was when we got married. Then I have even further. Feel free to add me as a friend! We can all use all the support we can get.

    My son will be 1 at the end of the month, but I've been here since the end of September trying to get back into shape.. it is hard with the time constraints and demands of a little one, but have patience with your body and stick with it- you can do it!!! :-)

    :bigsmile: My baby is now 13.....and I am still on my weight loss "journey", for lack of a better word.

    I have lost 60 pounds and I feel great where I am right now.....but it is an everyday, constant series of choices to keep me where I am.

    Best of luck to you! I know you can do it!
