in Introduce Yourself
I'm Jenna. I'm 21 and I'm looking to lose about 30 pounds.

I have one baby boy and am still nursing, so I'd like to take some of my baby weight off while I still have that advantage.

I need MF friends and motivation, please add me.

    don't give up, nobody is perfect. everyone makes mistakes. great joining up. keep up the good work. you've made the first step on a path to a better you, find your core motivation, hold onto for dear life and run with it. find something that works for you, then once you start seeing results use that boost in motivation to step it up a notch and hone in on your ideal fitness plan. for me it is an hour of walking in the morning, 20-30 minutes of running at lunch and an hour or so of weights in the evening. i was NOOOOOO where near able to consider doing that in the beginning though. first i started off eating right, then i start to shed, then i started to walk a littl bit, then as i lost more i added a litt bit of weights, and progressed from there. its not a race to your ideal weight, it's a long term improvement of your total fitness level and lifestyle choices.

    I did not start trying to lose weight until I stopped breastfeeding. You have to make sure you eat enough to maintain your milk supply. However, You can do it all. That's what moms do! Feel free to add me if you want a fellow mom friend and breastfeeding advocate :-)

    I'm in the same boat! I have about 20lbs to lose (thank you, college...) and I'm really having trouble getting motivated, I let myself get down about my weight very easily... which usually leads to more food! Not good. It's awesome to see someone else starting up a hopefully successful pathway :D good luck to you!
