    That's me! I have a 5 and a half month old and I'm ready to lose the belly. I need to drop about 10 pounds.

    I'm a nutritional consultant so I know what I should be eating, I just don't have the time (or the sleep) so I'm craving junk.

    Would love to encourage each other online!

    I need to lose 12 pounds - pretty similar! I think I just got to the stage where I thought 'Hmm I can't use this baby weight excuse anymore - time to do something about it!'

    I pretty much lived on ready meals for the first six months after birth ha. Terrible I know!

    I'm shifting my baby every single day.

    You can't "shift weight" but you can lower your body fat with a slight calorie reduction and you can build muscle by doing strength exercises.

    Not baby weight, the wife calls it "sympathy weight", would seem I put on the weight during her pregnancy :huh:
