    My baby is 6mo old today! I have about 25-30lbs to go to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I gained a good 70lbs with this last pregnancy. Trying to change the diet I had when I was pregnant back to watching calories and eating healthier has been my biggest trial. Feel free to add me!

    My baby is almost 13 months (so technically a toddlar! ahhhhh!), and I'm now starting to really buckle down and get healthy. So, feel free to add me!

    I'm Dawn and I'm 37 and a mum of 3 - age 5.5, 3.5 and 9 months. I always gain too much in pregnancy no matter what I do, and the third time was no exception, so I still have about 30lbs to lose to get to pre-pregnancy weight. I lost it all after my other two so I know it's possible.

    I've been logging on MFP for 950 days now, all through my third pregnancy even, but I've been exercising and eating healthily for years.

    Good luck to you all! While I am actually about 20 pounds less than I was pre-pregnancy, I am still looking to lose. I had gained weight before getting pregnant the 2nd time. Is anyone using Bikini Body Mommy? I am starting it today! I can't wait!!

    Hi, I'm Becky, my son will be 6 weeks old tomorrow and my daughter will be 2 on the 18th. I lost 35 pounds using this app before I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, gained it all back and never lost it. When I was pregnant with my son I gained 30 more pounds. Now I hang out with my kids, eat and pump breast milk. Don't have anyone to talk to or hang out with besides my boyfriend. So feel free to add me, hopefully we can support each other.

    Hi! This is my first time really posting on here. Haven't really used it consistently ... I'm 11 weeks postpartum and have 10 lbs left to go. Am 5'2" 115 lbs and am trying to get to 105... Was 100 before baby but I just don't forsee that in my future now!! I'm exclusively pumping (I have an oversupply and got mastitis twice already because baby girl doesn't empty my breasts nearly enough) so we switched to the pump. I'm not finding that breast feeding is helping a ton - I was 147 when I delivered her and 122 two weeks later - we ended up in the NICU (she's ok!) but I didn't eat for about two weeks... Since November 28, I've lost 7 pounds only. And I'm already exercising an hour most days :(. Definitely seeing a "plateau" and not happy. Been around 115 for about 2 weeks now :( Would love to be held accountable!!

    At your weight you're not going to lose quickly at all. To lose 7lbs since the end of Nov you've done really well. You should aim for about 0.5lbs a week. I'm a lot heavier than you are and I only lose about 1lb a week, eat at a big deficit and exercise loads.

    You have 10lbs to lose, and you're pretty thin now. Relax, you'll get there, just enjoy your baby, take her for walks and things and don't undereat.

    Hi I'm Megan- looking to add some other moms who are trying to lose weight! I've lost the baby weight but have another 10 lbs to go. Plus I feel really out of shape. I'm trying to walk as much as I can and treat myself to coffee out when I go. Also I really like Jillian Michaels DVDs. Feel free to add me. Thanks!
