I have been on and off this site for years I feel like. Last December I was back on track and more determined than ever! Only 2 weeks in I found out I was pregnant. I did manage to only gain 20 pounds and on 9/5 my 10 lb 9 oz 22.5 inch baby boy arrived!! I'm BF and pumping which has been good. I've lost 24 pounds and am 4 pounds down from pre pregnancy weight. Just waiting to get the doctors okay to start working out again but it's only been 2 weeks so who knows? Plus I suffered a 4th degree tear so it might be longer for me. It starts with eating right, right?! Any other new moms out there? Would love to be friends and we could motivate each other (:

    Hi! Congrats on the new bundle of joy! I gave birth to my second child two months ago and recently re-started my journey. The weight seems harder to come off this time around but I am determined to get it off! Sending you a FR.

    Congratulations! Sounds like you have set yourself up for success. Don't stress - diet alone can work wonders. Don't put pressure on yourself to exercise until you're physically ready. Best of luck!

    Hi! New mom here too! I had my. 8lb 3 oz baby boy Henry I'm August 25. I too only gained 20 and am back to my prepregnancy weight. I have about 15-20 pounds to reach my goal. More importantly I want to tone and get back on track with healthy eating. Btw I am also breastfeeding. I hope you don't mind if I add you. :)
