hi! first of all congrats on mommy hood! lol i'm a mom of an almost 2 year old boy and have not been able to lose the rest of my weight! i started at a pre-pregnancy weight of 140 to 145 went to about 190 195. i lost 30 lbs when i breastfed but that took a long time cause i just wanted to eat more. (postpartum and breastfeeding) i gained back 10 lbs! i have no idea why but i obviously ate the wrong things. now i'm at 171. i found this site 5 days ago and i'm pretty excited! i want to lose 30 to 40 lbs and i'm looking for friends to help me keep motivated! good luck to you all!!

    Add me. I got down to my pre-pregnancy weight after my son was born of 136 lbs and then gained up to 152. I've lost down to 131 and plan on losing about 5-10 more. You can do it.

    Add me!:smile: I'm trying to lost about 30 more pounds!

    I lost weight after having my 2 kiddos but have struggled with ups and downs the last 7-8 years. I want it gone for good this time!

    Feel free to add me. I was already overweight (in the 160s) when I got pregnant. Then gained. Was up to 198. I'm down in the 140s now...ligther than my pre-preg weight. Woo Hoo!! It's challenging, but you can do it!! You've found the right place for motivation and encouragement. Good luck to you!
