    Hi! I'm in the same situation as you. I have a 7 month old and I'm trying to lose the baby weight. I also have a 3 year old. I've been following myfitnesspal now for 9 weeks and have lost 24lbs so far but still have at least another 30 to go. I never made the effort to lose the weight after my first baby so have quite a bit to lose. Feel free to add me and we can help and motivate each other :)

    YAY! Finally a pregnancy weight thread! My second child is 3 months old and I have 4 pounds to go (needed to lose 20 lbs total after delivery). I was lucky to take a 4 month maternity leave and my mom is kind enough to watch the baby while I go to the gym 3 times a week. I also run on the treadmill in my garage on the days I don't go to the gym after the kids are in bed (just set up the baby monitor and you're good to go). I have been DETERMINED both times to lose all the pregnancy weight. In fact with my first pregnancy I lost all the pregnancy weight plus some. This time I want to look even better than I did before so I've started heavy lifting to burn off more body fat. Feel free to add me as a friend. Good luck - you WILL do this.

    I lost 35 lbs. after giving birth last October. My baby boy is almost a year old! I counted calories, and I did a bit of cardio. I'm not counting calories now as I'm experimenting to see if I can lose weight by just portioning my meals. So far so good, and I ate A LOT recently lol.

    I had my second child May 16th and just now got back to pre pregnancy weight. I was 188 before I had him and I'm down to 150 lbs now. However, this isnt a healthy weight for me (I'm only 5'5''), so now I have a goal to lose 25 more pounds and lower my body fat %. I've been walking, going on bike rides, doing random exercises and strength training with a barbell in my garage :)

    I have a 2 week old and in ready to start shifting weight. As I'm nursing I'm not going to be dieting, I eat quote healthy already just need to clamp down on the chocolate!

    Boys go back to school on Thursday so going to start walking and jogging again soon.

    Had thought about doing the 30 day shred to get me restarted but I think it's still too soon for that!

    Nice to meet other mums trying to shift baby weight.

    Hi! You can add me. Always looking for support and people to support. I've lost all the pregnancy weight, or should I say AFTER pregnancy weight as I put on most of it after delivery. I weigh less than I did before pregnancy (I've lost 26 lbs so far). I was overweight to begin with so I'm still working on this. 15 lbs to go but I'm quite happy with my progress.

    Hi, Im glad Im not the only one who has this problem:)....my youngest daughter is 19 months and I have a 28 month old son too. You would think running around and chasing after them, that the weight will fall off...nope! lol...I just recently stepped on the scale and saw what I didnt like seeing, so I decided to join the program. Ive never had a problem with my weight before, as I have three older children. And I was lucky enough to lose my pregnancy weight with them. But age and other factors are def making it harder this time around. Since Im new to this, please add me too....def need and want good advice. Thanks.

    I'm trying to lose the pregnancy weight as well. I had my 2nd child 3.5 months ago. I lost the weight quickly and then it crept back on. Time to lose it for good! :) Feel free to add me.

    I have 2 boys, 5 & 6 (I homeschool both of them) and my baby girl is 1 year old TODAY :happy: so I understand busy and trying to balance kids and eating right/exercise! It is possible! I've lost 47 lbs since Jan 2013, 5 lbs to go. Nap time is a gift from God, take advantage of that time! I'm sorry I am limiting my friends to family right now but I wish you all the best! You can do this! Good luck!:flowerforyou:

    Yup, my little boy is 8 months old. I have 2 stone to lose to get back to where I was before getting pg, but although I'd lost 3 stone, I still wasn't quite (!) at goal then so I have some more to go after that as well - probably another 2 stone again!! Yikes.

    Time to get serious! :)
