Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Colleen. I just had my second baby 5 weeks ago and am on a mission to get healthy for myself, but also to keep up with my kiddos! I gained 70 pounds with my first and only lost 20 before getting preggers again. I only gained about 18 with my second thankfully but I've got a lot to lose. So here I am!

    I gained weight with each of my 3 pregnancies. It's not so easy coming off is it? Good luck to you. It's great you are trying to get that weight off ASAP instead of just getting use to the extra weight. I slowly took most of it off but it was slowly. Remember to be consistent in your effort & you will win. Enjoy that new baby!

    Thank you mama! I will say that it's starting to come off fast this time because of nursing although I know that won't always be the case. It's nice to have an extra 700 calories burned each day though. lol
