:cry:
When i had my two kids i was soo sick i lost AT LEAST 20 pounds apiece so that after the first i was down to 125 (least in my life since high school) and the second i was down to 135, which was normal for high school. Since it was a starvation basically i have gained about 40 pounds since my second was born nearly 3 years ago. I weighed myself 3 days ago and i weighed the most i ever have. In the past year i have went from a size 8 to a size 12. I am not happy!!!!! My goal is to hit high school weight (130) and at least size 7 6 if i can make it! I need friends with lots of advice. I am a stay at home mom with a wii fit and netflicks (it has a lot of workout videos). But i tend not to stay motivated.

    It is hard to stay motivated, especially with small children around.
    You can walk and play with them ( that is exercise) and of course you can take some mommy time to do something for yourself if you have a wonderful spouse or family and friends to help out!
    I think that if you have a plan it will be easier to be motivated. I like knowing when I can workout and where I am going to work out and how long I am going to be able to work out makes a difference in how I feel.

    I think it's good to have an over all goal but starting with smaller goals first seems to work better. I too weigh more than I ever have but know I may never get back to before kids shape. Small goals for me is where I'm starting with a bigger goal in the future. Good luck!
