Hi!

I have a 9 month old son and I'm still stuck in maternity clothes. Grrr.... I never thought it would be this hard to lose the (significant) weight I put on while pregnant.

I love to motivate people, and I am also looking for buddies that can give me the "kick-in-the-maternity-pants" when junk food is calling and sitting on the couch seems so much better than working out.

Thanks! :happy:

    I definitely need that extra boost myself, and I will be there to give you positive motivation as well. My daughter is 3 and I am still trying to lose the weight I gained with her. Let's do this together! Feel free to add me.

    HA, HA!!!! YES!!!! That is me right now! I have lost a few pounds and gained them and lost and so on and now I really want to get serious about losing. My youngest is 15 months and I am STILL in maternity and my big size clothes. My pre preggo clothes are all put away and I hope to get them back out before the thick of next summer!

    I am in the same boat. I have 4 year old twins...gained a ton of weight while pregnant but lost most of it fairly quickly. I gained 30lbs back over the last year and am struggling to lose it. I just started last week! :-)

    I didn't have twins but I gained weight like I thought I did. I did lose it but have gained lots back this year.

    YES! My daughter is 14 months old. It's time to lose the weight but most importantly I want to set a good example for her early in life. I want her to see her mom and dad taking care of themselves and putting nutritious food into our bodies. I'm hopeful that I can do this for her!

    Yes, my kids are 11 and 13 and I'm still trying to lose the baby weight. I recently started to do what's called an "Intermittent Fasting". So far so good, I dropped 8 lbs in 2 weeks and 2 days (with the help of MFP of course). Let me know if your interested in getting more details on how I'm doing this. I'll be glad to help.

    I have a nearly three-year-old, after whom I dropped 82 lbs, but then I gained most of it back with baby #2, who's almost 7 months old. Breastfeeding has killed me (for some women it makes you hold on to weight), so while I'm not wearing maternity clothes (except for those awesome yoga pants), I still don't fit into my old clothes, either. Last time I was able to lose quickly postpartum (no breastfeeding), so I don't have an interim wardrobe.

    I have a 2 year old (in profile pic)
    I made a decision about 5 months ago that I needed to be fit enough to run around after her when she's older.
    It has spurred me onto losing 22lb so far

    I am! My son is just 3 1/2 months old, but I feel like if I don't make a change I'll be in maternity pants forever! I need to lose at least 40lbs, about 20 left from the pregnancy and 20 more just from life! I'm pretty new to MFP and looking for some supportive friends for the journey! Feel free to add me!
