Hi All,

Well I had gone from 218.5 lbs to 174 however I had started to out a few pounds back on and then found out I was pregnant. I am now a proud Mommy to little Lily who is nearly 6 weeks old.

I have decided its now time to sort out my weight now I've started to get to grips with life as a Mommy.

So looking for any other new Mommy's to start the journey with or any advice from Mommy's that have already done / started the weight loss journey?

xx

    Me too! I've got 3 more months on my maternity leave (I'm Canadian and so I get a whole year) and am trying to really take advantage and get a leg up on my health. I lost the pregnancy weight through breastfeeding, but still have quite a ways to go to get to my ideal weight. I'm 160 now and want to get to 125.

    Hey, my baby is 5 months old and I have a fair bit to lose. Feel free to add me - I need new mum friends to support me and vice versa.

    Hi ladies! I had my baby boy six weeks ago, and I have a three year old son :) I gained about 35 pounds total this pregnancy. I am currently six pounds away from pre-baby weight, but I have about fifty more pounds that I want/need to lose total. Anyone please feel free to add me!

    Hi! My newest addition is 8 months old and the light of my life! <3<3<3 I gained lots of weight during TWO back to back pregnancies. Need to lose 72 lbs total, down 25 lbs so far. I also just really started on my weight loss journey in the middle of July. My goal is to be a healthy 130 lbs, which was my pre pregnancy weight.

    Not exactly new, but...new"ish"? My son is 18months but so far I have only managed to lose about 20..... then I gained about 10 of that back. We are having a really hard time getting him to gain weight, so I have been focusing more on that than I have losing my own weight. But I think its time to renew my efforts so to speak!

    My daughter is 18 months now! I gained 65+ while pregnant. I've currently lost the baby weight +20lbs.

    MFP is a great place to get started, you'll find lots of support and encouragement. Good luck, feel free to add me.
