Hello, everyone I have had a beautiful baby 4 months ago. I need to lose weight and I've been putting it off. It'd be great to have some support and encouragement on this journey xx

    The hardest thing is being tired all the time! Feel like starting to use this app should be a good start though.

    Welcome everyone. My babe is 8 months old and I also joined the community not long ago to get help losing the last 10 pounds (already down ~4 pounds). It's a bit tricky for us "new moms" to lose weight in the first year, but it's doable. With the breastfeeding and the stress and the lack of sleep it's hard to take off the extra weight.

    However, the good news is that we are ahead with "exercising" than everyone else due to the extra weight constantly attached to our necks (aka baby). Apparently, if you are in the habit of walking around with the baby in your arms you are consuming about 300 calories per hour. I bet that any of us walk carry/lift the baby for more than just one hour per day (summed up). So, all we need to do is be careful with our food intake and keep our calorie consumption under a certain threshold for a healthy weight loss.

    I wish you all good luck and to stay strong. Never give up!
