Hello- Looking for Mama Buddies!

Options
I just joined MFP ready to lose the baby weight! Mine is a bit different- I lost all my pregnancy weight quickly, but I had some extra stress pounds while TTC, and have gained much more the past few months, stress eating while coping with the life change that a needy baby is! In other introduction, I'm 25, my daughter Sara is 3 months, and I live in Japan and work as a translator.

I'd love to meet some buddies to text throughout the day for support. Anyone else with a young baby or kid, preferably on the Asia/Australia side of the world whose in a time zone close to Japan?

    I am the same just had a little girl 5 months ago and ended up gaining 6 lbs after having her instead of losing any so I weigh 144 now and my normal good weight is at least 110 but I'll be ok at 115! But I'm also not on that side I'm in Florida

    I'm so happy to see new mom's! Lol I just had my 2nd boy 3 months ago! I lost 30 pounds before I got pregnant using this app then I gained a TON while pregnant. I've lost 30 pounds but I still have a long ways to go!

    Im 36 weeks pregnant and I've gained at least 40lbs. I am 6'1 so yes I gained all over but I'm only 20lbs bigger than my heaviest time in life. I'm glad to see women on here who just had babies. I'm downloaded the app to try to watch what I eat these last few weeks. I'm reall doing bad with eating tons of sugar!
