Hi, I'm 38, have a 4-year-old and a 3-month-old. I got up to about 205, am back down to 181, and need to get to 135. Granted, I gained weight when I got married 6.5 years ago, so have been overweight for 5 years. I was 174 when I got pregnant with my first, and never got below that before getting pregnant last year. My goal is to be in shape for Christmas. I'm also breastfeeding, so need to eat enough to keep my supply up. I just had my tubes tied on Thurs, so can't exercise for 2 weeks, but I'm tracking all of my food.

I am 31 and a SAHM to a 4.5 year old girl, and my little boy will be 3 months next week. We are in NY and have had a brutal winter the last month or so, so between staying in since November with a newborn, and now being tied to the house because of the snow and freezing temps, we are all going a bit stir crazy. I was 194 when I got pregnant with my son, so very heavy to start with, and now am 180. Ultimately, I would like to get down to 120, but I know that will take time. My main goals right now are to stop using the weather/cabin fever as an excuse to stuff my face all day, and to start getting active. I admit I need to find creative ways to be active so that it is enjoyable. Thus far, I have always despised exercise in any form. Sorry for my ramble lol. Desperately in need of someone to share the journey with. My husband, with his super duper metabolism just doesn't understand the struggle.

I'm a SAHM of 3 young kids. I have 2 boys ( ages 5 & 4) and a daughter (will be 2 in April). I started out at my heaviest non pregnant weight of 185. I'm currently down to about 170 with a goal of 155 by my daughters birthday (4/20) and an ultimate goal of about 130. I'm 5'6 and 35 years old. We just got a foot of snow today so all my exercise has been indoors but I love to hike when the weather is good. I'd love some other SAHM friends and motivators!!!

HI,
I am 31 and have a 5 year old daughter i have always been over weight and have never been under 200 pounds in the last 5 years. My heavest was when pregnent and that was 245 since then i have been down to 203 and now i am back up to 218 not happy. My goal is to be down to 150 /160 before i have another child. I work full time and from the month of November through Feburary we are on manditory overtime at 60+ hours a week and this is when i gained the last 15 pounds. I need the support and motivation to get my but back in gear and do this once and for all. Good luck to you all and looking forward to more friends.

Ugh, I want to punch my husband every time I hear "if your unhappy with your weight, do something about it," as he shovels food into his mouth. Men. Lol

Omg yes!!! I hate when mine comes in to watch me workout. Ugh!! And now that I've been cooking healthy foods he is losing weight too!!! But he definitely should probably GAIN a few pounds lol. I usually give myself the correct portion size and give him double...

Hi! I'm a SAHM too! I have a 2 year old son (is it really baby weight at this point? lol) but have PCOS so the weight is taking its time.

I lost weight while breastfeeding without it affecting my supply. Just be sure that you give yourself the extra calories and use them. You can do it!!

I just started the sahm thing a year ago before that I was a full time student and "part" time worker lol graduated and left my job when I had my second baby now we moved to Texas. I swear being at home with nothing to do makes it hard not to eat everything in the house! I had about 30 pounds to lose and have lost about 17 so far but started losing motivation recently and would love to make some friends and get motivated again.

Sent you an invite. I had a baby in November and lost most of my baby weight within a few weeks, I credit the breastfeeding. However I had an "obese" him prior to being pregnant. Currently somewhere in the 160lbs, looking to get down to about 115lbs

ok so anyone else do daily burn? (or a workout program at home) Did you gain weight at first? the scale keeps going up. I am not doing any major body building or anything because I do know muscle weighs more than fat. I've read some that it could be water weigh and blood volume? but Im on week 3 and id like to see at least ONE lb come off. Any tips would be great. I watch sodium since I tend to retain water a lot. Advise would help or see if I'm not the only one tyia!

Hi ladies! I'm a 27 year old Canadian SAHM (for this year at least). My daughter is 3 months old and I'm breastfeeding and supplementing. I would like to lose 55 lbs and just heard about this site from a friend yesterday. Would love to connect - feel free to friend me!
