    I am a new mom too, my baby girl was born Sept 2012. I gained 47 pounds , just lost 22 , I started MFP and walking/jogging everyday. No weight loss. Glad to see other mommies in the same boat

    I'm also a new mom; my son was born April 8, 2013. I started my pregnancy at 135lbs (I'm 5'4") and was feeling good. However, I put on 52lbs during my pregnancy! Now at almost 8 weeks postpartum I'm down to 150lbs. My first goal is to get back to pre-pregnancy weight, but ultimately I would like to be 128lbs. Any other new moms that would like support, feel free to add me!

    I just had a baby in April and would love the support of others trying to drop the baby weight! I've really been struggling to get back into the swing of things! I am also breastfeeding, so I constantly feel hungry. Feel free to add me =)

    Me! I had a baby in January. I thankfully didn't gain any weight at all, in fact I was a few pounds lighter than my pre pregnancy weight.But....I had gained 40 pounds from the pregnancy before that.I'm so ready to lose this weight.I'm a shorty and it doesnt look good on me at all.

    Me! I had my son in March. I gained about 22 pounds with him. I've lost almost all of that, but still have more weight I want to lose. Add me if you'd like :)

    My son is 21 months old now and I still haven't lost all of my baby weight... I'm currently 7 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight but would like to loose 12 or 15 lbs more total. I hope I'll have better luck now that he's weened and I'm not worrying about keeping up a milk supply. I just feel so unmotivated sometimes... These last 5 to 7 pounds to get back to pre-pregnancy weight have had me stuck for over six months!! How do some women loose it all so fast?

    Me! I had a baby ten weeks ago. Gained about 40 pounds...still have to lose 25 but would love to lose 35 pounds to be below my pre-pregnancy weight. Every day is a struggle to make good food choices and to find time to work out. I can't imagine it gets easier as they get older either. Just in need of some extra motivation!
