in Introduce Yourself
I had my son about a month ago..My 5TH BABY! He was 9lbs 1oz... and i was/am huge! I've lost about 25-30 lbs since giving birth- but that always happens with me. Now I am just stuck where I am at. I am looking to lose about 60lbs. I can't believe i seriously just typed 4lbs. I WISH. Anyway I am just going to try to eat healthy with mild exercise these last 2 weeks until I reach my 6 weeks postpartum. Then I will be on something fierce! Add me! Inspire me! :)

    YAY! I'm not alone! I just had my first kid in August, he was almost 7 pounds<3, and I have been given the green light to work out/diet just this week, I still have 20 pounds to lose before I get down to my pre pregnancy weight but I want to lose so much more then that.

    I've been on here for a long time but all my other friends deleted me due to inactivity while I was pregnant. ): I'm looking for more now.

    Add me for support!

    Just sent a friend request! I had a 10.1 lb little girl last March... I totally get it! I lost an initial 30 lbs really quick but totally stalled after that. I'm just finally getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight but still have another 15 to lose to be back at my "happy weight". Let's do this!

    Hi,

    Congrats on your new addition.

    A little about me;

    I just joined MFP about a week ago.

    I had my 3rd baby 5 months ago. He was born 6 weeks early @5lbs, and come home from the NICU just a months back.
    Now that I'm in somewhat of a routine with the new addition, I'm finding a little bit of time here and there to take care of myself (eating right, getting to the gym a few times a week and working with a dietician.
    I'm not tall ( 5'1) and have about 40lbs to lose.

    Please feel free to add me!! We can inspire each other!! :happy:

    Hello....My 1st daughter is almost 11 months now and although I gained 50+ pounds with the pregnancy and have lost most of it, I am still struggling to lose the last ten pounds to prepregnancy weight PLUS the 20 I think I was overweight when I got pregnant. I gained a ton of size in my thighs, butt and tummy, where I didn't really see it before. I have been working with a nutritionist and a personal trainer, with not much luck. I've been stalled since February at the SAME weight. I struggle to keep going without seeing any results while dealing with accepting the way I look now. Most days are worse than the rest and not a second goes by that I am not thinking about how unhappy and unacceptable I now look. It's tough!

    Hi and welcome! I stopped using MFP while I was doing the blood type diet before going for IVF. Then I had my son almost 11 months ago (he is a Halloween baby). Lost 35 pounds right away but then started medication to increase milk supply and put 20 back on. I need to lose at least another 35-45 pounds.

    Good luck with your journey! There are some great ideas here for exercise routines that are short when you get the go ahead to start working out. :-)

    my kids aren't babies any more, but I am still struggling to loose the baby weight. I am 4 feet 7 inches tall, and have tried everything. I have 60 lbs to loose before I am close to my pre-pregnancy weight. I gained 80 lbs with my daughter and another 20 with my son. Would love to have some dedicated daily MFP users to help support eachother! Feel free to add me.

    Hi there! I'm so excited to find ladies in similar situations as me!!!

    I had my 2nd daughter 4 weeks ago, I gained 45lbs during pregnancy and have lost 18 of that so far (14 the first 2 weeks and 2lbs/week after that).

    It took me over a year to get serious about losing the baby weight with #1, but once I did it that last 30lbs came off quickly and easily thanks to MFP!

    I would love to have friends for support since my old ones deleted me for being gone for so long!

    Last week I have started doing 30 min yoga 5 times/week and 20 minute brisk walks 5 times/week. My 6 week appointment is Oct 14th and once i'm cleared I will begin Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and jogging, these are what really helped me drop the weight last time! Also I am a vegan and use a lot of my own recipes so my food diary may look strange to some.

    Good luck to all you ladies and feel free to add me!
