Hello! Mom of 2 trying to get her old body back!

Options
Hello everyone, I just joined (about two minutes ago) I didn't know there was a great site like this to help me keep track of everything, this looks easy I hope this really helps.
Like I said before, I'm a mom of to great boys, 2 and 8 mos. I'm trying to gain some self confindece, get in shape, lose this muffin top, eat better, and feel healthy.
Open to receiving encouragement, giving help and advice, hearing great success stories!

Thanks,

Ady from Chicago

    Hi, mom of 2 too! I joined and lost about 50 pounds from this time last year (I was 8 months pregnant!). This is a great site... I had the same pre baby weight goal and now sit proudly 10 pounds UNDER that!! Good luck!!! :smile:

    You can do it!! Track every thing you eat and it will work out great....it is really just simple math...calories in/calories out!! Just by following MFP and exercising for an hour six times a week I have lost 26.2 lbs in 9 weeks!! Crazy I know...everyone keeps asking me what my secret is and what I am "taking".....I love telling them "nothing but a healthy diet and exercise"!! Keep focused, find a friend to do this journey with and realize that YOU are worth it!!

    Thank you all for your warm welcomes! I already see what I diference I can make just by accurately knowing what my calorie intake is. This is amazing and so easy to enter!
    Thank you all for your support.

    I do have to add... I took my "before" pics (lol shy) and I am pretty much dissapointed, I hate what I saw. I truly need to change to feel better. Sigh.....
