Hi,

I write a weight loss blog online and i'm currently looking to add a page titled, ' Mom Success stories' or something to that effect. Would any moms be interested? Maybe you have posted your success on here before ? The page will be dedicated to moms who have lost weight etc , so more the merrier.

Writing a blog has really kept me motivated, so i advise you to start one if your struggling to keep motivated.

    I'm interested in doing this. I haven't had any extreme weight loss but I do have two kids. A daughter that is almost two and a son that is 4 month old. My husband and I just started the insanity workouts this week and I plan I post my results when we finish the first 63 days. I will try to post more information later and some current post baby progress pictures. After I had my son I weighed 145 and I am down to 134. I am 5'4 and 26 years old

    Ok. So here is my story. I am a 5'4, 134 pound, 26 year old mom of two under two. My daughter will be two next month and my son is 4 months old. I used to be very active before meeting my husband and having children and obviously all of that slowed down after we started dating. I never gained a ton of weight but my healthy lifestyle dwindled and then I got pregnant. After I had my daughter I started taking birth control pills, but they made me very lethargic and moody and I never did get back my prebaby body. Then I found myself pregnant again (while on the pill) only nine months after my daughter was born. This was devastating to me. We were having a very hard time with our high maintanence daughter that never wanted to sleep and I couldn't imagine doing it again and so soon.

    Well, here I am. My son is an angel haha. My daughter is great and full Of life and started sleeping much better after she turned one and my son is very laid back and easy which is amazing.

    We knew we only wanted two kids so my husband had a vasectomy last year and I had my tubes tied after my son was born. During my current weight loss during I started out weighing about 145 a month after I had my son and I am now down to 134 with my goal being somewhere between 120-125. I have tons of stretch marks but they aren't terribly noticeable and some loose skin, but that's part of becoming a mom sometimes.

    We just started the insanity program 4 days ago and I hope to see huge changes in my body once the first 63 days are up. This is my current progress since February.

    About 6 weeks post baby
