Hi everyone, I just had my baby girl and I am looking for some friends to help encourage me through this process. I am looking to lose 80 pounds. I got a long way to go but I am ready one step at a time. Looking forward to some encouraging friends :)

    Welcome! Add me. I have an 11 month old and need to lose 50 lbs. I lost all the baby weght within a couple of months, except for 5-7 lbs which I just cannot seem to get past while BF. I'm still hanging in there though. Good luck!

    I'll add you after posting! I've lost 71 lbs and have 30 lbs until my goal weight, but will probably add another 30 lbs to that. You can find me on Facebook, mfp, twitter, and instagram all under "cheeksbryant"....I'm losing my baby weight too, only my children are 12 and 16 lol!

    I had my baby about a year ago. I lost about 40 lb and I have about 35 lb to go. I didn't start being motivated to lose the weight until about 6 months after she was born. I have done great using MyFitnessPal, trying out some fitness DVDs such as Leslie Sansone and Jillian Michaels, and trying to eliminate foods with added sugar, and grains (I tried the whole 30 "paleo" style of eating). I still eat carbs (I love potatoes, sweet potatoes, and high carb vegetables). I found that the strict elimination diet works well for me, otherwise I make excuses to have desserts and unhealthy snacks. Good luck!
