Hi everyone!! I just had my son on 5/2 and now I need to get back to losing. I had started trying to lose again in the middle of last year and then found out I was pregnant. I only gained about 25 lbs (from first weigh in at the doctors) and now I'm about 10 lbs from my last weigh in here. The problem is that I really need to lose about 40 lbs (at least). I also have two older daughters (14 & 12) and my oldest gives me a run for my money. We've had a lot of issues with her in the last 6 months so it's been stressful and busy to say the least.

I go back to work next Monday and I'm hoping we can get into some kind of a routine that will allow me to exercise some, maybe a walk at the end of the day. I'm hoping to get some support and meet some people in my shoes :)

    Hi :-) I just had my son this Christmas, he's 5 months. I also have a 13 year old daughter. I'm 12 lbs down and need to lose about 50 lbs more. I figure by Christmas I'll be at or near my goal weight. Feel free to add me if you'd like. I log on to MFP every day.

    I just had my daughter in Dec and I have a 9 year old boy. I dropped 20lbs giving birth and a few since then. I have quite a bit more to lose. Walking right now is my source I have also been using my lunch breaks at work to walk instead of going out to eat. I just eat my packed lunch at my desk while working. Its hard when the kids have such an age difference but my older child has been a great help to me with the baby. Hopefully your older child will become more involved with her sibling and hopefully some or all of the issues you have been having will disappear. I know wishful thinking and teenage girls can be awful at times. Good luck and this group is a great support system.

    I had my son on 5/23. I'd lost 82 lbs (not counting initial postpartum loss) after my older son was born in January 2011. It took me about a year, and I gained a crapload again with this pregnancy, I think even more than last time. I hadn't hit goal yet, so between losing pregnancy gain and then hitting goal I have a long way to go! Feel free to add me if you like; I log in daily and started back logging this past week with allowances for BFing. I plan to get back to workouts ASAP!
