Ok, I had my baby 5 months ago today. No more playing around. It's time to get serious. I have lost about 32 lbs since the baby was born...breast feeding helps....some of that weight was of course baby....so I need to try now. Wasn't trying before.

Here I am. I commit to eating healthy, not dieting, but eating healthy and being active. I want to be here for a long long time.

I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.

I will be healthy, slender and not afraid of a bathing suit! I can do this!

Thanks for listening! :-)

    Amysol...I also had my baby girl 5 months ago today :smile: (I also have a 15yr old and a 10yr old) and I am trying to lose the extra weight (plus a little more) that I put on during my pregnancy. The other two times it was SO hard to get the weight off, but with this time with determination, MFP and support I am slowly but surely getting it off! I didn't lose as much weight as you did once my baby was born, and I know that my some of my "unhealthy" ways had alot to do with that! This is a great place for support and a wonderful way to keep you accountable for what you eat. If you would like to add me, please do! CONGRATS on your new baby and CONGRATS on getting started to a healthier lifestyle. And yes...YOU CAN DO IT! :happy:
