I'm Virginia, I'm 20 years old and just had my first baby! Before my pregnancy I was overweight but losing. Due to the pregnancy I gained the weight back then some. I'm trying to lose about 100 pounds! Looking for some people to motivate me feel free to add me and message me!

    Feel free to add me. I'm 37 and I had my third baby 10.5 months ago. I've got 30lbs left to lose.

    I lost all the weight between my first and second, then I lost all my weight and more after my second, so it can be done. You've got youth on your side which is a bonus!

    Go for lots of walks with your little one, and when you're up to it start exercising. I was back at the gym after my 6 week check with all three of mine. I've been lucky to have natural births with no stitches needed with all three.

    That's awesome! I've already been working out from home and taking him for walks on the nicer days it's the eating I need to get down! Being healthy with a baby's been a little hard but I'm sure I'll get there!

    It's routine, and you'll get it. Honestly, I think it's harder after your first baby as it's such a shock, but when you're on your second, third etc the lack of sleep and everything else isn't a shock, so you can get back into a routine. My eldest is at school, so we have to be out of the house at 8:20 to walk him to school, and my husband works shifts, so I'm on my own with the kids a lot, so I have to be super organised.
