mum of 2 year old can no longer hide behind "baby weight"

Ok. Truth is I have blamed the extra couple of stone I have been carrying around on my son but he is over 2 now and my appetite has to start taking the blame too..... anyone else out there in a similar situation who fancies joining up for moral support?

  • I blamed mine so long on my children but honestly at 7 and 4 they have nothing to do with it! Lol!! But I'm holding myself accountable now and am going to do this!! I've added you :)
  • Great stuff. Lets do it together :)
  • My son is creeping towards three, and while I lost most of the baby weight at first it was creeping back on and I definitely wasn't gearing up to have another one :)

    Just wanted to chime in and say 'good for you' for deciding to lose the weight so 'early'. I blamed baby weight for 13 years (yeah, YEARS). You CAN do this. Welcome to MPF. :flowerforyou:

    My son is 13 months and I am still 2 lbs over my baby weight, which is still 60 lbs over my ideal weight, I know this site works, I've already seen results, me too I think I need community support to make the changes permanent.

    I started the same way. When my daughter turned a year old (she is almost 2 now), I weighed 20 pounds MORE than I did after giving birth. I got serious when I saw that, and have been working on it since.

    Well my baby's about to turn one, and I'm about 4kg over my pre-baby weight, which is still about 55kg over my ideal healthy weight. I'm up for more mama friends with baby weight and baby worries to share :)

    My son is 6 months and to be honest I gained more weight preparing for my wedding, two years ago, than I did during my pregnancy. I'm ready to get rid of all of it!!!!
