in Motivation and Support
Hi! My name is Tiffany & I have a 6 year old & an 8 week old. I gained 90 lbs with my first and only ever lost about 60-70 of that. Then when I got pregnant with my son I gained another 70 lbs. So far I lost 20. But not from working out or eating right.

I want to get back to my pre pregnancy weight before my son of 247. And ultimately get back to my pre pre pregnancy weight of about 215.
I currently weigh 299.

I started my own 60 day challenge Thursday but motivation is what keeps me going so I would love to have friends on here or instagram (_speakof_thedevil) that are also on the same journey! We can encourage each other, support each other; you can even email/text me when your in line at the grocery store & that milky way is calling your name (or does it only call my name?)

I just really want a diet buddy who is also a mom or a female who had about the same amount of weight to lose !

    Goodmorning! My kids are 11 and 13 and I'm still talking about prepregnancy weight as a goal LOL! I was 240 when I had my first and second, then I just continued to gain until I found myself at my highest, 281. My most comfortable weight was 140 in college and that is my realistic goal. BMI says I should be around 125, but that is what i weighed in Jr High LOL and I don't think that's realistic at all. I started on October 3 2014 to begin the journey. My cholesterol and blood pressure numbers were in the moderate risk category for the first time ever in my life and that worried me. I couldn't tie my shoes with out grabbing my pant leg and pulling my ankle up on my lap, most chairs didn't fit my butt comfortably and I don't remember the last time I could easily sit cross legged on the floor. My life was passing me by and my kids along with it. I have about 141 to strive to loose, my best self doubled in weight. So far I have lost a solid 18 Lbs. (I like to picture 18 one lb boxes of butter) If you like my story, go ahead and add me! - exstromn (aka Nancy)

    I gained 70 pounds with my daughter, lost 50 of it and then regained all 50 back. So now I'm back trying to lose it all again! Highest weight was 238, I'm now at 221 my goal is 145. I know we can all do it!

    Guess, I don't qualify. Good luck to you all though. It can be done (even with little ones).

    My highest weight (after the birth of my first son) was 260lbs in 2012. I got down to 170lbs in 2013, before getting pregnant with my second son. My second was born at the end of May (41wks 212lbs) and I'm around 169lbs now. I have about 38lbs more to lose to get to about where I want to be. I'm 5'4.5" with a goal of around 130lbs, but ultimatly 20% body fat.

    Hi Tiffany! My name is Nicole I'm 31 with a 5 year old, and a 2 year old. Both of them are crazy boys. I started this journey at 275 and I'm currently down to 226. I can always use new friends both here, and on Instagram.

    Hi Tiffany! My name is Lauren and I have three kids 9,5, and 2. I gained 80 lbs with my first and only got down to 200 before I had my second. I weighed 252 when I went in to deliver him. I got all the way down to 140ish when I found out I was pregnant with my third.

    Due to bed rest and a love of all things cheese and ice cream, I was 240 lbs when I had my last. I had been hovering at the 212-215 for 2 years. Since there will be no more babies on my future (hysterectomy last year) it's time to get to goal for good this time!

    Welcome! We can do this!

    I'm heavier now than when I gave birth to my daughter - 11 years ago! I'm really looking to move this weight once and for all. I'm still in the honeymoon phase where it all seems quite doable, but I know the tough business is ahead of me. If I can give (and maybe get) some support, I think it'll be a lot easier.

    Please forgive me if I mess this up, I literally joined yesterday and have never belonged to anything that I have actually posted to.

    We are very much in the same boat. I am 6 weeks pp with my third. I have lost all but about the last 10-15 lbs of baby weight, but nothing since 2 weeks. 4 weeks with no weight loss has really bothered me, especially while EBF. I decided to start tracking calories, I honestly believe I may have been eating too few. I don't have the same appetite as before (phenomenon after each pregnancy that reluctantly returns eventually), and find it a burden to try to eat with the baby- my meal time turns into hers. I am at 240 now, would like to see 150 eventually, but Onederland looks glorious right now!

    Sorry for the long post, best of luck to all of us!

    Added. I only gained 10lb during my pregnancy and lost 12lb by my 6 week postpartum visit. Then I managed gain 40lb in the year and a half since :/ I've been blaming it on the fact that I work full time and I'm a single mom, so making crappy eating choices for myself was easier and I never had time to work out (even though I had PLENTY of weight to lose even before pregnancy.) In the past six weeks, I've MADE time to work out and I've been eating better, but it still isn't easy. Would love some friends in the same boat! I'd like to lose 90lb, which would put me at my weight from high school (I'm 29 now) which is probably crazy, but I'm going for it!

    Hi I just had my baby eight weeks ago I'm 29 years old and I am also looking for friend. I would like to loose at least 60 pounds. I'm currently breast-feeding but not seeing any benefits in the scale. I keep getting hungry at all times.
