in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I had lost 45 pounds when I discovered I was pregnant with my little girl. This was especially incredible because I have PCOS. She's now 7 weeks old and I've been cleared to exercise for the past week and got back on mfp. I had gained 17 pounds during my pregnancy but lost it and an additional ten pounds in the first five weeks post partum and have lost another one since. So that's a total of 56 lost since I started.

I had 128 pounds to lose originally so I still have 72 to go. And since I've been off mfp since the fall most of my friends are no longer active and I need some new ones!

    Congrats to all the new mamas! I'm brand new to the forums and looking for some friends also. I'm mom to 2 boys - 5 months postpartum from my youngest. I'm looking to lose about 40 pounds (whenever I get to where I feel healthy - not sure what weight that will be) and need a little moral support. I'm nursing and working out but haven't really lost anything after the first few weeks, so I know my diet needs some cleaning up. Literally all of my mom friends were those women who barely gained any weight and were back in their skinny jeans at two weeks postpartum, so I would love to friend up with some moms here who are in the same boat as me! Thanks!

    I am an ECE working with preschoolers and their families. I would be happy to encourage you along. As I encourage and motivate others, that encourages me to stay on track. It is a win-win. :D

    Wow, you've done really well! I barely gained any weight with my two kids when I was prego also. Lost weight after and then slowly gained that back, so you are ahead of the game!
    Feel free to add me if you want another friend. :)
