Hello! I'm new to the site and I love it already! I just had my first child on St. Patty's day...and I'm on the path to getting my pre-baby body back!!!!! :-) I gained a whopping 60 pounds during pregnancy...and now I'm 25 pounds away from where I was before the baby! I'm looking forward to this journey!!!

    Congrats on the new little one! Mine is 4 months old, so I understand the desire to get the old body back. Please feel free to add me as a friend, if you'd like.

    Congrats on your new bundle! Being a mommy is the BEST! I just had my second in September and discovered MFP soon after. I've lost 18 lbs so far! I'm sure you'll have no problem losing the weight :) Good luck!

    Congrats!!! I totally understand. About a month before my little guy turned 1, I decided that my 'baby weight" was now MY weight problem. I had gained 37 pounds and he was only 7 7 at birth. My math was waya off lol...Anyway less then 2 mos later I've lost all my baby weight, and thankfully still losing. I'd like to lose another 25 by my 12th wedding annivsary which is in Dec.

    Hello! Congrats on the baby :) Mine is 4 and 1/2 months old, I gained 30 and am 10 away from pre baby but I would like to get into even better shape then I was before pregnancy. I am breastfeeding which helped with the weight loss but I sometimes think it makes me soo hungry and I fall to my sugar addiction so easily!! This site has helped so much with my sweet tooth, good luck on your weight loss and add me as a friend also if you would like to, it helps to have other people in your situation to provide motivation and support!! :)
