Hey there! I'm a momma of 2, ages 4 and 2 months. I used to be in great shape but life happened babies happened and I got lazy. Time to get moving and lose this baby weight. Any other mommas out there doing the same? Let's be friends and keep
Each accountable.

    Congratulations on your new baby!

    I'm a mom of five :) 12, 9, 7, 2, and 4 months. I just started P90X3 this past Monday. I used to be in great shape as well. I still exclusively nurse so those last 10 pounds are not wanting to budge. I downloaded this app to work with my Garmin vivosmart and SEE where I am spending my allowed calories. I'm not trying to lose weight as much as I'm trying to tone up.

    Thanks for adding me! Im bf too and know it's going to be a challenge because I'm hungry ALL THE TIME lol I just need to make healthier choices and do more portion control. I'm hoping this app will show me where my calories are going and help me adjust them.

    I am a former cheerleader and Show Choir performer. I'm 19, and just had a baby 6 weeks ago so am just starting back on a weight loss journey. I am looking to get back to my performing weight or lower. I love to dance and have a lot of energy and love trying new work outs and challenging myself. My two main goals (besides weight loss and over all health) are to first run a solid mile no stops in under 10 minutes and then eventually I would like to run a 5k. Really hoping to find someone on a similar path with similar interests to me :) if you feel like you can relate please feel free to add me!

    I can't wait until summer to start walking... It's so cold right now it's tough to leave the house. I joined a mommy baby tot swim class starting today starting this weekend, that should be fun.

    Hi, I am a mother of two. Girl has 2 years, and baby boy is 5 months old. First time was easier... Now I need help. Calorie counting, and everything else that can help... :(
    Breastfeeding exclusively, but it doesn't make a change ;)

    Does cleaning the house constantly count as exercise? Lol

    Hi. I just had a baby also. It's so easy to fall off the fitness wagon when life gets crazy. I gained 70 pounds this last pregnancy.

    We can do it moms! I plan on getting into some workout shows on hulu. Maybe it will be entertaining for my little ones to see mom jump around lol
