Hi, my name is Megan. I'm 25 years old and I have a 5 year old. Im currently at 170lbs. Id like to get back to my weight before I became pregnant (140) but mostly I want to be healthy. I have no motivation whatsoever. I have breathing problems which makes it hard for me to exercise but I'm trying to get started. I would appreciate any support along my journey. Thank you all.

    Hey. I think being active on these forums is motivational.

    Hi Megan - Kaylee is right. And although I've lost every ounce of my baby fat 3 times, my youngest is 22 years old and I have gained it all back...again! I think it's super hard when you have a little one to chase, but at least s/he's in preschool or school now so you can go to the playground after and run yourself ragged - which is great exercise AND makes the kid sleep sounder/longer at night; AND you can probably find some other women with same-age kids who want to exercise with you so you get a little social stimulation, too. (And free babysitting if you trade!)
