3 weeks after having baby #4 I am ready to lose!!!

Options
Hi! I am a 32 year old mom of 4....15, 10, 4 and 3 weeks and I am ready to lose the baby weight from the most recent pregnancy and the 3rd one. I was 243 when I had my baby on 041211 and today am 216.5 and am so not looking forward to summer! I am tall so that has the advantage of not looking so fat but I know I am and really want to lose it! Anyways, just wanted to say hi and I am here. Hope I am able to get the support needed!

    If you are nursing, make sure you eat an extra 500 calories a day or you will go into starvation mode! Been There, done that. I had nothing but decreased milk production, a crabby baby, and tired mommy.
    Good luck!
