in Introduce Yourself
I'm Shannon, 25 y/o from Michigan and mother to my amazingly wonderful 5 month old son, Noah. I was 120 before pregnancy, gained 25 lbs and now I fluctuate between 127-130 lbs. I'd like to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight or even a little less! Any advice or encouragement is appreciated!

    Congrats to you!!! I'm sure you're loving your new addition. Are you breastfeeding? You'll drop pounds with that quickly. Make sure you are eating enough to support you and little one if so.

    Exercise? Walking with the little one before it gets too cold?
