I'm almost 29 and I'm a mom of a 2 year old and a writer. I am 5"4.5 and 176 lbs... which makes me just about obese according to my BMI. I was 132lbs when I met my husband and I was 220lbs when I gave birth (though I walked out of the hospital at 180, so maybe I had some hypertension going on.) I'm wearing the clothes I bought post-birth in winter. It's 90 degrees here now and I really have nothing to wear and I refuse to go buy fat clothes. I pretty much have one pair of jeans and some ugly capris to wear. Oh and my maternity bathing suit.
Two or Three months ago I weighed 155, but then I started trying to actively wean my daughter and I put on 20lbs. We want another child and I simply won't allow myself to get pregnant at this unhealthy weight. I don't feel very motivated to lose weight when I know I'm just going to gain weight, stretch out my stomach and breastfeed again for a few more years, but oh well, I'm an adult and I need to suck it up and do what is healthiest for myself and baby #2. I had cancer as a teen, too, and my current weight and diet is pretty much a request for more cancer, which is pretty selfish of me since I have a child.
I'd love to find anyone else in my position (losing weight just to get pregnant again, stay at home mom...)

Hi. I'm stay at home mom to my 18 month old son. I'm not looking to get pregnant for another 2 years or so, but it's definitely a motivation for me. When I got pregnant with my son I was about 165ish, standing at just under 5'3". I didn't like myself then. The day I had my son I weighed in at 205, I left the hospital at about 175ish. Next time around I want to feel like I look pregnant. The last time it just looked like I was heavier than I was normally. No cute baby bump or anything like that. Plus, I feel I'll have a much healthier pregnancy the next time around if I'm at a normal weight. I started actively trying to lose weight February 20, 2013, weighed in at 172.8. Today I weighed in at 149.6. Feel free to add me.0

I too am trying to get down to a healthy weight before I take on a second pregnancy. My son is 9 months old and breastfeeding (though not as a main meal). I also REFUSE to get pregnant at this weight (165 right now and I'm 5'1). I started out at 185 in February and I'm aiming for 145. I was 172 when I left the hospital (was 170 pre-pregnancy so not a small girl to begin with and had put on 15 lbs during pregnancy). The weight came AFTER I had given birth. Anyway, I plan on getting to a healthy me before #2 in a way that will allow me to stay healthy during and after the future babies.
Oh I'm a stay at home mom too.0
