in Getting Started
I am a mom of 3 trying to lose that final 15ish lbs and would love other moms in a similar situation to take the journey with. I have had success on MFP before the birth of my last child, and am back to do it again. I eat clean and SPIN. Please feel free to add me if you are in a similar situation and we can get it done together!

    I'm in! I'm also a mom of 3 my youngest is 2wks so I have to wait a bit to start back with exercising. I have 10lbs to get back to my most recent pre pregnancy weight but ultimately want to lose 60lbs. I need to work on getting my eating back under control.

    I've lost 57lbs in the 24 months since my daughter was born. Unfortunately, this wasn't a great year for me, and I only lost about 4lbs total!
    I've got 20-30lbs to go, I think. It's MUCH harder being back to work and with a toddler!

    Welcoming new friends. Best wishes to everyone.

    Hi! I'm a 23 year old mom of three. My newest was born early December, and I am just getting back on the healthy eating and exercise wagon. I have already lost almost 30 pounds, and would like to lose 30 more by my birthday in March. I do zumba and want to start hoopnotica

    I'm in as well!! I have two little girls. After my first was born I had no problem getting back down to my pre-pregnancy weight. During my second pregnancy I had gestational diabetes though, which I controlled with good diet, meaning no sugar no white flour, etc. So after she was born, even though I lost most of it initially, I started gaining weight slowly, probably eating too much of what I couldn't have during the pregnancy! The girls were also only 19 months apart, so aside from a couple of months, I've been either pregnant or breastfeeding for about 3 years. I'm used to eating way more than I need to now, and breastfeeding never helped me lose anything.
    I'm 17lb over my pre-pregnancy weight now, and really want to lose it. Adding you; I know the support of other moms on here will really help motivate me!

    Add me! I'm a MOM(mom of many) I have 6 girls age 12 and under. I've been putting on a little extra every pregnancy, start losing about 6 mths after baby arrives, but get pregnant before I've reached my goals. After 12 years of that I'm overweight 60-70 lbs. my youngest is almost 6 mths. I figure Im about 6 mths before pregnancy no. 7 so my goal is 10 lbs per month. Nice to meet you ladies!

    Hello moms! I'm a 25yr old SAHM of a toddler. I'm below my pre pregnancy weight, but would love to get down to my pre college weight of 110lbs. I'm thinking that may be a little too unrealistic, but would love to drop maybe another 10lbs & tone up. Ultimately, we want to TTC #2 in May after my kiddo turns 3. I'd love to add more mom friends! My diary is open & I support my friends :)

    I just wanted to say you can do it!! I had my second baby May 16th 2013 and I was 188 lbs at the end of my pregnancy. I'm now 124 lbs and in the best shape of my life. One step at a time, you'll reach your goals ♥

    I'm a mom of two, this is my third attempt at taking off the baby weight, and so far this one seems to be working. I had started back in April but unfortunately got derailed from my workouts when life got in the way. I had a rough second pregnancy that caused some physical issues and resulted in me gaining more than I would have liked, and the bonus of being 35 is that the weight just doesn't come off like it did in my 20's. But I've found a plan that works for me and have lost about 8 lbs so far.

    If you're looking for a friend to share the fun and frustration of motherhood, who always has room for cookies and ice cream in her diet, and who won't give you a lot of guff if you have a bad day and skip your workout in favor of lying on the couch to watch Daryl's shirt get ripped on the The Walking Dead (why doesn't he ever just take it off instead of fixing it???), send me a friend request.

    Hi Ladies, I'm a mom to 3 crazy busy girls. I've been so busy with their lives and sports that I've taken a back seat. It's my time now! I would like to lose about 25lbs- if possible. I have a very athletic build and I muscle up quickly.

    Question- do you eat back your exercise calories?
    - how many exercise calories do you try to burn/earn each day?
