I recently had my 2nd child and put on about 20 extra pounds :( I had lost a lot of weight before my pregnancy and now I'm going to have to start back up to lose what I lost the 1st time!

I am looking for some great friends for motivation, I used my fitness pal last time and gained a lot of good friends and encouragement!!

I hope to make some new friends! Look forward to getting fit with you all :)

    Welome! I am also a mom of 2 and my baby is turning 2 next month. I just got down to my prepregnancy weight about 2 months ago... but my pre-preggo weight was much smaller with my second than my first... thanks to MFP! Feel free to friend me and I would suggest joining the Post Partum Pack... there are lots of us mommies to motivate you!

    Thank you :) I'll be back to my old self in no time :D I think Im going to order T25, I did Insanity and P90x last time, and I lost 50 pounds before I got pregnant, so this new program looks fun I think I want to give it a try!

    Welcome! I had 3 kids over the span of 5.5 years (they're now 7, 6, and 2) and I gained 70 lbs. as a result. So far I've lost 43 of those pounds! You've made the right choice coming to MFP, everyone is so encouraging. FR sent :)

    I am also a mother of two boys. My youngest is two. With the help of MFP I have reached my prepreg weight of 155. I want to get down to 140. I would like to look like I did on my wedding day.(when I thought I was fat)
