    My daughter is nearly 2 and I just lost my last baby pound this week (I do have PCOS as well, so it takes me longer). Welcome and good luck!! FR sent.

    Hello! I am a mother of 3 boys, ages 17, 2 and 6 weeks :) I breastfed the first two and am currently breastfeeding our new arrival. I found it difficult to lose weight while breastfeeding during the first year with my 2 year old and am hoping to be able to lose the weight a little quicker this time. I gained nearly 60 lbs with both of my Lil guys!!! I would love to meet other mommies who are experiencing similar challenges. Good luck! I will send out a friend request too :)

    Hi there! I gained about 65 lbs with my first son, then lost 102, and after gaining a few back prior to my second pregnancy, I gained about 70 lbs. I have about 50 lbs to get to my previous low weight and then another 15 lbs to UGW (ultimate goal weight), if that's possible. I'm not married to that number, though.

    My first baby was FF, so I was able to lose weight pretty easily, plus I had the ability to leave my baby with a bottle so I could get in some great workouts.

    This time I'm BFing, and I cannot. lose. weight. Plus I can only be gone for so long without having to rush home to nurse again. It's very frustrating.

    My baby is almost 10 months old, so I've made peace with it. I plan on weaning at a year, so I just have to live in yoga pants until then *sigh*

    Definitely check out the breastfeeding group suggested above, and feel free to add me if you like!

    Hi! I'm a mom to three boys - 4, 2, and 9 wks. I'd love some friends for encouragement. I am breastfeeding, but I know from experience that if I don't count calories and maintain a healthy diet the last 15 lbs will never come off.
