I would do a lot better with this if I had some friends to talk to daily. Here is a little about myself...


My name is Karley. I am 19 and I have 2 daughters- Kai, 2, and Kalani, 4 months. I gained a lot of weight from my first pregnancy, and put on 10-20 after. During my second pregnancy I instantly lost the weight I gained, but the weight from my first pregnancy was still there. Right now I weigh 173, I started a few weeks ago at 179. I was doing the no sugar no flour diet, and it works awesome, but it's really difficult and I feel like it wasn't good because I breastfeed. I would like someone to lose weight with, or at least just talk to because it's really encouraging and it helps me figure out my own diet plan. I have difficulty choosing what to eat sometimes, and I used to eat a lot of junk food.

I would like to weigh 120, and hopefully before I go to college for nursing in the fall. It may be unrealistic though!

    Welcome! I'm a noob too. We can do this!
    I also weight about the same as you so we are starting off in the same boat!

    Hi! I've haven't been on here for quite some time. I would suggest, because you're breastfeeding, that you eat less and concentrate on healthy foods and make time to exercise of course! Congratulations on your your new baby! Good Luck!

    I think that it is great that you joined this site. I started off really well and then I stopped recording my food diary and it made a real difference. I stopped losing weight. If you keep the diary and interact with others you will be successful. I wish you only the best and hope that it works out for you.
