    Hi! I put on a lot with my 2nd child (a girl) and I've now lost 66lbs since she was a few weeks old (she was 2 in May). I'm now a lot smaller than before I was pregnant though, so I probably put on around 45lbs. I didn't dare weigh myself while pregnant!

    Feel free to add me.

    Added you. Thats amazing! Good work. The worst part is, I had just finally lost all of the baby weight from the first wnd was at my goal weight...but as soon as I get pregnant my body starts packing it on. I gained 60lbs this time but have lost 20 already....40 to go!

    Congrats on your baby girl! I understand what you mean...I gained 60 with my second. I had my 3rd 7 weeks ago and somehow managed to only gain 36( 12 lbs was him). I am 2 pounds away from my pre pregnancy weight (which is great), but my pre pregnancy weight is still not healthy so I'm looking to lose more. I am exclusively bfing and I've read that exercise doesn't affect milk supply so that's great but I'm still waiting on my incision to heal from my c section. Any support we can provide each other is great. Do you have a specific workout routine lined up? Is there one that helped you lose the weight from your previous pregnancy? I'm looking to do a total body workout that way all bases are covered!

    You're not alone. I gained 65! I had my son on Valentine's day of this year. Now that my son is almost five months, I have more energy and time to get back to how fit I used to be. It's hard juggling it all but you and I both know it's worth it :)

    My son is 16 months old, and when I started using mfp 06/02 I was 3 lbs heavier than when I have birth. I gained about 20 lbs with my son, but I was at my all time heaviest when I got pregnant. I'm down 10 lbs as of right now. My goal is to lose 10 a month and I'm October start trying for baby #2.
    So far I've worked out a few times, but have focused on my calories. Today I started the 30 day squat challenge and I plan on working out 3 days a week this month.
    I'm sending you a friend request. It's great having people to support you!

    The same happened to me! My son was nearly 14 months when I got pregnant with my daughter, and I was in all my old clothes, although not quite as slim as I had been. I put it all on and more with my daughter, although I didn't really exercise while pregnant with her.

    I'd love a 3rd baby but I'm worried about piling all the weight back on.
