I'm Elizabeth. Originally from San Diego, California, I have lived in the DC Metro area (Alexandria, Virginia) for almost 9 years. I recently married and had my first baby - a little girl named Reagan. She's 8 months old now and I am back at work full time. I was very fit when I got married, but between an unplanned c-section and tough recovery and work, I haven't lost much of the baby weight (still up 35lbs). With the new year, I'm ready to get back on the exercise circuit and get my body in shape so we can try for #2 this summer!0

HI! my name is Lindsey and I currently live in San Diego. I was in the military and my husband is currently still in deployed in Bahrain. We are getting ready to move to Japan. I just had my 3rd baby in 3 years and have a lot of weight to lose. I literally just finished 2.0 and am ready for 3.0. I know I have lost a lot of weight but I have 3 babies worth of weight to lose and would feel most comfortable 60 lbs less and back to what I was before babies. I am a realist though and just losing 40 more lbs will make me comfortable. I can't wait to get to know you girls and start the next challenge!0

Hi, everyone! I have never lived in San Diego, but I'm also in the DC area, and have been here for almost nine years as well! My little one (#2) is 16 months now, and sadly enough, I still haven't lost the baby weight, from either child! I hadn't heard of Bikini Body Mommy before, but I'm open to trying it out.
And Elizabeth, I'm always up for meeting other mommies in the area (especially if you want to work out together!).0 -

Hello, My name is Ashley and I am from Northern Illinois and have lived here for most of my life. I have 2 year old and a 3 year old daughters and work full time as a software developer. I have been married for 6 years and would love to get back into the shape I was in on my wedding day. Between work and the little ones, I have made too many excuses why I cannot get back in the shape I was in 6 years ago. 2015 if the year of no more flab!!

Hello! I am Brie and live in Monterey, CA. I have 2 little girls (2 &5) and work full time. I have always been in fairly good shape however each pregnancy left me with about 5-10lbs of baby weight. Though at this point I can't really blame them! I got serious this fall and lost about 8 lbs. I would like to lose 5-10 more and tone up my arms and mid-section. I run 3-4 days a week. I need motivation to do more though.0

Hello. My name is Corrina and I live in Florida. I am a SAHM and last year did a 90 day challenge and lost 30 pounds and was 10 pounds away from my goal weight. I was beyond excited. We then moved and while our house was being finished we lived in our camper. It was suppose to be 3 weeks. We love camping so we thought it would be fine. 6 months later and we are finally in the house. Needless to say, I have gained all of that weight back. I was not able to workout and we ate out for almost all three meals for 6 months. I am ready to get back in a routine and get this weight off of me. It has been so hard since having my second. He was 10 pounds and completely destroyed my body. Being on the challenge kept me in check and kept me motivated.0

Hi, I'm Shana. I live in NC. I have a 4 month old little boy. I work full time at a small engine shop. I gained 59lbs while I was pregnant and I've lost 37lbs so far not really trying. The scales have not moved in over a month! I can't find time to exercise or cook healthy meals. I am not happy with the way I look or feel, and it's time for a change.0

Hi! I'm Marielle. I also live in NC but we'll be moving to CT in Feb/March 2015. I have an 8.5 month old girl named Mara and I do completely love being a mommy butttt I really need to get this weight off of me. I had a tough pregnancy with swelling and gained 84 lbs in total. I've lost about 50 of it so far and have 34 to get to pre pregnancy weight. However, I had just moved to NC when I got pregnant and had gained about 15-20 lbs of beer drinking, socializing weight that I need gone too. We really hope we can try for baby number two next summer around when we got pregnant with Mara but I absolutely cannot get pregnant until I at least hit my pre preg. My body just can't take it. I am excited for the accountability and welcome anyone to friend me here on MFP!0

Hello, my name is Liz and I live in Alexandria, VA (DC Area). I have a 6yo and a 4yo and have about 25lbs to lose. I have done bikini body mommy before and various beach body DVDs ( have 21day fix now) over the past year. I lost about 15lbs last year and am looking to continue the momentum. While I am not from and have never lived in San Diego, we did vacation there with my kids last year! Beautiful area! Our cousins will be stationed in Tijuana with the State Dept soon, so I may find my way back there again. 0

Hello, my name is Rachel and I live in Delaware. I have two boys, 6 and 2. I don't want to lose anymore weight but I'd like to tone up. I've had 2 c-sections so I know there isn't much I can do for the pouch but I'd like to give it a shot. Thank you for setting this up. It should be fun!0

Hi! I'm Liz and I live in Fairfax, VA. My daughter Skylar is 8 months old. I used to have all the time in the world to exercise, so I would train for triathlons and work out twice a day. HA! No time for that anymore! I've lost about 1/2 the weight from my pregnancy, but I'm still heavier than I've ever been. I would like to lose 30 pounds. I could certainly use the motivation of a great group of mommies! Thanks for creating this group! 0

My name is Kaycie. I currently live in Michigan but am making a big move to Arizona in 10 days. I have a 4 month baby girl born the end of August. I was unable to workout after a tough c-section and I am looking forward to getting back to a workout routine. I just want my pre-baby body (or something close to it) back!!! :-)0

Hi! I'm Amanda and I live in Wilmington, NC. My daughter, Natalie, will be 7 mo old on the 1st. I packed on some serious LBs and had an unexpected C-section and tough recovery. I've lost some weight, but have a lot to tone and tighten. I'm a bridesmaid in a destination wedding in St Croix in May and can not even imagine getting in a bathing suit!0

Hi mammas! I'm Lauren. I had my sweet baby boy Benjamin in July. My goal is to drop 10 pounds by this summer so I can be back to my pre-baby weight before starting the cycle again in trying for baby #2. I need more accountability and less cake! Headed to Mexico in February for a beach vacay so I have some extra motivation this month.0

Hi All!! My name is Janice and I have lived in Alexandria for quite a long time. I am recently married and we have a 4month old baby girl named Zahra❤️
I went back to work in early November and I thought I was on track to loosing all of the baby weight but then the holidays came sweeping by! So I need to loose 10-15 pounds and I'm struggling to get these pounds off. I have always been very active...running, swimming, hot yoga but I have never tried anything like this so I am super excited and if anyone in the area would like to workout together when in need of that extra motivation well I will be up to that too!

HI All!! My name is Sumita and I was born and raised in Alexandria. I am married and we have a sweet 2 month old baby boy Declan.

Happy New Year! My name is Adina and I live in Toronto, Canada. I have a three year old boy and can relate to those who say it can be hard to find the time to dedicate to losing weight. My goal is to lose 15 - 20 pounds. I look forward to the encouragement I gain through doing this group challenge.0

Hi there! My name is Karen and I am from Statesboro, GA. I have an almost 4 month old baby girl and am a FTM. I gained 25lbs with my pregnancy and have lost all but 5 of it.

Hey there! My name is Brooke and I live in Alexandria, VA. My baby girl, Aubrey, will be 3 months on January 13th. I only gained about 20lbs when I was pregnant because I lost almost 15 in my first trimester due to morning sickness. ugh. I am close to my pre-baby weight but my body definitely does not look the same haha. I was wanting to lose weight before I got pregnant anyway. I am hoping to lose 10-15 lbs and really need to work on toning legs, gluts, and abs. It has been hard for me to stick to a routine in the past and stay motivated so I am looking forward to having the accountability of this challenge and support group! Happy New Year!0

Hi, my name is Lynette and I live in a suburb of Des Moines, Iowa. I am 33 and have two boys, ages 4 and 6 and was introduced to this program by a coworker that just had a new baby. In fact, a group of ladies at my job have decided to do this starting Monday. We are all night shift nurses in a Maternity Center and shift work, babies, etc has made losing weight a bit of a challenge. A little more about me. I am down about 90 lbs from my highest weight, but still have a little over 50 to go and I have been stuck for several months and my weight even started creeping back up a little. I work weekend nights at the hospital and am completing my Master's Degree and all of life's distractions have caused me to put my weight/fitness on the back burner. But, I refuse to undo the progress that I have made. So, let's do this.0

Hello! My name is Karyn and I have one daughter, Isabelle, who is almost 16 months old. I am a teacher and just completed my Masters degree in December for teaching elementary school. I'm 27 years old and I have been struggling with weight pretty much all my life. I am addicted to sugar and diet coke, both I am well aware are bad for me. Now that my daughter eats regular food, I made a conscious effort to only give her healthy meals with very little processed foods. I'm trying to make this transition myself, but it is difficult with a husband that is a very picky eater. I have PCOS so losing weight is even more difficult for me than most. I have tried weight watchers with no success and I have tried out plexus slim. I like how it made me feel (more energized, less cravings for sweets), but I just can't spend that much for only 30 days worth of0

...I posted before I was finished!
...stuff. I want to lose the baby weight, but mostly I want to increase my physical activity. I also want to change my eating habits. I need your help, mommies! I have very little motivation and not a lot of support here, just negativity and a husband who burns through calories faster than I can blink.0 -
Ladies - don't forget to weigh in so I can get our spreadsheet set up and get you all on teams!!!
Hugs, Mommies!0 -
Hi mommies! I'm a new mom in Alexandria, VA with a beautiful baby boy who will be two months old on January 5th. I was overweight before pregnancy and barely gained any weight because of lots of morning sickness throughout, but after a c-section with a rough recovery, I'm only down 6 pounds from my pregnancy weight. I'll be going back to work in about a month and am looking for a balance between family, work, and getting back into shape! Always happy to get together with other mommies for a baby friendly workout!0

Hi Ladies! My name is Jan and my daughter is 8 months old. I spent the two years before I got pregnant losing weight and managed to drop 60 pounds. I gained a little back before getting pregnant and then the rest once pregnant. I haven't lost any since having my daughter and am desperate to get back into my healthy eating habits and an exercise routine that doesn't take me away from my daughter.0
