in Getting Started
Hi everyone! I am a new mommy. My son is 9 months old now and is my world. I was very overweight when I got pregnant, and due to a complicated pregnancy, I put on 60ish lbs. and 9 months later I can't get rid of them. I want to lose 100 pounds and I'm looking for friends with the same goals. Feel free to add me!

    Not sure if it is too late to jump on this bandwagon, but I am looking for some motivation from new moms! My son was born in February, 2 months early. He is now a healthy 8 month old. We are very lucky. When I found out I was pregnant, I was 204, but actually lost about 18 pounds during my pregnancy. When I got home, I was actually at 179, my lowest I have been in a very long time. Now, I am at the 200 point again. I have gained 20 pounds since my son was born. I have NO energy when I get home from work, and no matter how healthy I eat, I never exercise, so I never see any loss. Any suggestions??? Thank you! :)

    I would love to be on this journey with you. I need to lose about 60. Preferably 80 but I'll go with the first too. I'm a momma to a almost 6 month old. It is definitely hard work to look after your self while looking after a newbie.
