    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!

    I have AT LEAST 60 lbs to lose, probably closer to 75. I have a 14 month old and know how tough it is. I'm going to add you!

    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!

    Add me! I gained 75lbs with the first baby, then lost 25lbs then gained 35 lbs with my twins. I also gained about 35lbs in the four years between marriage and babies! I was 312 at my heaviest and now I'm down to 246. My goal is 180-190.

    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.

    you can add me, i have a 7 year old and a 6 month old. i weigh 20 lbs less than i did before i had my son, and 6 lbs more than when i found out about my daughter this time last year. I tend to have medical set backs when i start working out again (like getting pregnant lol) i also go more extreme than i should and hurt myself...this time i am going more slowly with the cardio, i'll work back to what i was doing before. I can lift weights just fine. I have around another 50 lbs to lose, i have lost 30 from my highest weight recorded, but ive lost only 24 since i've started here.

    You can add me if you like. I didn't gain much with each of my older children (now 9, 8 and 6), but I didn't lose, either; I just kept adding on more weight. I lost about 30 pounds several years ago, but that was quickly regained. I also have 13 month old twins, with whom I gained a whopping 11 pounds. (They actually made me lose body fat, since they were pulling needed nutrition from me) When I had them, I quickly lost 35 pounds. I've gained back about 15 of those, and have decided enough is enough.
    SW - 287
    CW - 274.5
    GW - 180-190 (Maybe lower, I'll see when I get there)

    Hi there. I don't have young kids any longer, but I too started out where you are; close to 300 pounds. I log in here daily (271 days!) and interact with MFP friends. I'm down 64 pounds so far since March. Feel free to add me. :)

    My boys are 3 and 6. My starting weigh in July of 2013 was 375 pounds I am currently down 171.5 pounds. I am working on losing another 4 pounds before the New Year. To put me at 199. I am very strict with logging what I eat (which is a low car way of life which I have embraced and will always probably continue with) then I also log all daily activity. But I never eat back those calories.

    If your still looking for friends, you can add me! I am a Mom of 3; 3,5,&7. I didn't gain much weight with each pregnancy...I was fat to begin with. ☺ I started at 257, but in the past 4 months I have lost 52lbs! I want to loose another 50 or so. People ask how I have been doing it, it has been a combination of MyFitnessPal and actually exercising! Feel free to add me..
