    Feel free to add me. I'm not really a new mom anymore since my daughter is almost 8 months but I still have about 25lbs to go until I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight.

    I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 6 month old. I have 15 more lbs to go to be at my pre pregnancy weight. Cardio, heavy lifting, and calorie counting is my plan. Add me if you'd like.

    My son is 2, but I still have some weight to lose.

    I'm a new mom too, my baby is almost 4 months now. I have about 42lbs to lose to get back to my prepregnancy weight, and then I would like to lose another 5 on top of that just because :) I would love to be friends, I could really use the motivation.

    My baby (she's my 3rd) turns 8 months on Jan 1st and I still have around 35lbs to go.

    I've done this twice before lol, so I can do it again!

    I've been exercising loads ever since my 6 week check. Still sad I gained so much in pregnancy, especially as I exercised until 38 weeks and logged until I went overdue, but c'est la vie.

    My baby turns 8 months on Jan 2nd. Our babies are 1 day apart. I have to lose 25 to get to prepregnancy weight n I should lose a little more on top of that.

    Hi, I would love to join as well! My daughter is 3 1/2 months old and I'm getting settled into working (and pumping) full time.

    I thought the breastfeeding would make it easier to loose weight but instead I'm just hungry all the time. On top of that, the sleep deprivation has turned me into such a sugar addict! I would love to hear how others are able to fit in workouts with a new little one - especially in the winter.

    I'd love to be added by other mommas! Just had my li'l guy on 11/24. Put on 50 pounds - turns out much of it was from my swelling so I've still got 21 to go. Struggling to find time and motivation these days!
