Hi! I am on my weight loss journey and looking for other moms out there. I have two little ones who are 4 and 1. I've managed to loose 60 pounds after having my 4 year old with my fitness pal and 43 pounds now and my littlest one is 14 months old. My journey is not over yet and I'm really trying to tone that loose skin and see some muscles again. Or maybe for the first time ever? I'd love to get connected with some other moms out there on their journeys! Feel free to add me so we can connect :)

    I have an (almost) 2yr old and an (almost) 5yr old. I gained 55lbs with my first and managed to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight and then got pregnant again pretty much immediately lol. I gained 60 lbs the second time around (went up to 210) and managed to get down to 180 but then a pregnancy-induced thyroid condition coupled with PPD helped me shoot right back up to 210 again. Now I am at 200 and trying to get back down to 150. Feel free to add me :)

    I've got 3 children, 5 years, 3 years and 8 months. I lost most of the baby weight after my first, then was pregnant again when he was 14 months, then after my 2nd I lost 66lbs and was the thinnest I'd been in years, but unfortunately gained loads again in my 3rd pregnancy despite exercising and logging, and now I've got about 28lbs to lose to get to pre-pregnancy weight.
    Feel free to add me.

    I have a 5 yr old son... after he was born, I managed to lose 38 lbs in about a year. Then because of laziness and breast cancer, I have now gained back all but 16 of that. I'm back on track as of yesterday (LOL) because I'm getting married in August and don't want to look like a stuffed sausage in my dress!

    I have a 10 year old, 9 year old, and a 3 year old. When I was pregnant with my third, I decided to lose weight. I was 210 pounds after having my 3 year old. I was down to 170 when I found Myfitnesspal and later, found Fitbit. I went down to 132. I've been up and down with everything going on. Most recent is the divorce which I went back up to 151 pounds. I am at 139 today and looking forward to lose the last 6 pounds.

    I have 3 boys 9 and 7 and a 10 month old. I have had a roller coaster in the past 9 years of losing and gaining. I've lost my mom...family is across the states and just feel alone. Doing this on my own but with 3 I lack the time and motivation. But I'm back on track and would love to lose another 50 lbs. Feel free to add me. Good to see I'm not alone after all :)

    I have a boy and a girl, ages 8 and 6, and no excuse for not having lost the weight. In fact I've gained since the initial loss after my daughter was born, and have only recently taken charge to change it. I'm always looking for more motivators, anyone can add me!

    I'm currently 7 months post baby no. 3!! The older two are 9 & 7... I'm in the Air Force as a flight nurse, so after my first two, I was able to go from 190ish back down to 130 lbs through healthy eating, running long distance, & some weight training. I'm am breastfeeding & feel like I can't really diet like I want to. I have also been subcontracting the construction of our new house, so I've mostly been eating on the go. I have 50 lbs to loose!! Please add me for some accountability. Thanks!!

    I have a 3 year 4 month old and a two week old. With my first pregnancy I gained 23 lbs then lost 30! With this one I gained 40 and have lost 20. Going to loose the remainder but ultimately just be healthy and fit no matter what the weight! I am also breastfeeding both so I do have that on my side :)

    I have a 2.5 yo and a 7 mo. I gained 45 lbs with my first and lost 40 before getting pregnant again and then gained 45 with my 2nd and have stalled out at 20 lbs to lose to get back to my pre-preg weight. It's all in my belly too, so I look 5 months pregnant. Ugh! Am highly motivated by the fact that I have to lose at least 15 lbs before I go back to work in June so I can fit in my work clothes. Please add me!

    I have one little guy, now four. I'm about 10-15 pounds from my pre pregnancy weight but having a lot of trouble losing. Trying to make time for workouts, but an injury and a newly diagnosed thyroid issue is slowing me down. I have no willpower but trying to be accountable by logging and make better choices. Feel free to add me as well!

    Hi everyone! My name is karrie! I'm 25 yrs old and I'm a mommy to 2 awesome little boys. My youngest is almost 2 yrs old. And it's time to get my body back! Time to stop making excuses, and time to fit back into my "skinny jeans". I'm about 160 lbs right now. My pre pregnancy weight (in 2012 right before baby #2) was 125lbs.

    So nice to hear from moms out there I lost 80 pounds after my 3 year old than pregnant again and gained 65 she now 15 mths and I have gained 10 more so I have a long weigh to go. Work school dance class for kids seems like the challenge is hard but I'm taking one day at a time trying to be more focused

    I have two children as well, a 7 year old and a 3 year old. I gained a lot of weight with my first I was almost 250 around delivery. I lost most of the weight over a few years in my own, I went down to about 178. I was smarter with my second and only gained about 45 pounds, but gained a little more after I had him. I was back to about 220 or so. I was joined this site and it's helped me lose almost 70 pounds. I'm down to about 153 - 152 and in 5'8 I believe. Just looking around the site I found all these moms similar to me. It's great, sometimes I need a little extra motivation maybe just someone to have on my side of this journey. Even now somedays it feels like an up hill battle. Add me if you want someone on Your side or just someone to talk to thanks guys and good luck to all of you!!!!

    Hi all! I have a 4 year old and a 14 month old, started my weight loss journey in August last year hoping to lose 20 kgs (starting weight of 80kgs). Have so far lost 13 kgs but have been stuck at that since before Christmas and school holidays and endless birthdays came along!

    I am so happy with my progress so far I just need to get the motivation to start going again. Feel free to add me :)
