Hi everyone!
My son is now 13 months old and I'm trying to lose the last of my pregnancy weight. I gained 60 lbs while pregnant! I've lost 40 so far. I seem to be at a stall, so i thought I'd join up here for some encouragment.

    I haven't had a baby in 4 years but I know what being stalled feels like. Its amazing when sometimes you eat a little more or go maybe one wieght higher in you workout, how that small change will start things moving again.

    Glad to have you on board, keep up the good work!

    I can totally relate to you. I have 2 boys and my youngest is now 13 months old. I can't use the excuse of my pregnancy anymore. I want to lose 15 - 20 lbs and myfitnesspal is helping so much to keep track of what I am eating. I just started too. Good luck to us all! :happy:

    I'm in the same boat as well. I just need to lose the last 10 lbs and man it has been hard. I have just started running/walking and eating tons better. After over a week of doing this I weighed in this morning and had only lost 1 lbs so I was a little disappointed. But I can say i do feel like I may have lost a few inches. Clothes are starting to feel better and not so tight so maybe the next weigh in I will see more lbs gone.

    I think there's quite a few of us in that boat from the looks of this thread! Anyone can feel free to add me as well! I'm down to 2 pounds away from pre-baby #2 but I still have about 12 to go til pre-baby #1! I went to school for athletic training, but am a stay at home mom now, so I feel SUPER obligated to lose these extra pounds now. I just started a new blog about getting back into a bikini after having kids with different exercises I've found effective in the past, so feel free to follow that with me too! I'd love some extra people to be accountable to in this journey!!!

    I'm also here to shed baby weight.

    My son is now 18 months old and I need to loose about 9lbs to get to pre-preg weight, however i'd like t loose a stone by summer.

    Between working full-time, looking after Oscar and general household chores etc, I never seem to have the energy or time to exercise. I've just started running for 10-20 mins near my son's nursery before I pick him up on an evening. Its a killer, but i'm aiming for 3 times a week!!

    Any tips to get rid of the belly would be much appreciated - I'm rubish at situps!!!!
