Hello, I am a mommy to a handome 9 month-old, and I'm looking for some friends along this weight loss journey. I have been on MFP for a while, but just struggle to be consistent, so I need some accountability and motivation. My short-term goal is to be back to pre-pregnancy weight before my son's 1st birthday. Feel free to add me :D

    Hi, I've got the same goal, although my son is 11 weeks old. I would like to be back at 135lbs by his 1 year (Jan 8th)! I'm currently plateau'd at 156-159lbs (was 183 at birth). I could use all the motivation I can get!

    Hi! My son is almost 16 weeks old and I started at 175 (last weight recorded in my pregnancy) and I'm now at 152lbs. Only 5 lbs. to lose until I've reached my pre-pregnancy weight and I'd like to hit that and even lose a bit more! Definitely need motivation as well. :smiley:

    I'm a mama to a 6 month old LO. I try to always track during the week and then if I remember on the weekends. I was 100 lbs pre preg and highest weight during pregnancy was 150. I'm currently at 115 with a goal weight of 110. Pre preg I wasn't working out and now I am so I'm hoping to make that "extra" 10lbs muscle! Feel free to add me!

    I am a newly single mom of a 3 year old boy, 2 year old boy, and (almost) 1 year old girl. I am also a full time student (most classes I take from home). Having 3 kids in 3 years has really taken it's toll on my body. Prepregnancy I weight about 187. I gained 32lbs with both boys, but only 5lbs with my baby girl. Almost 1 year after having my youngest I am down to 175! I pretty ecstatic to have lost all of the baby weight. However, I was overweight before I got pregnant and still unfortunately have the mummy tummy and a bit of weight to lose. I have a goal weight of about 132. I do mostly cardio (walking/elliptical) but do some strength training a couple times a week. I've used mfp for several years, but recently made a new account. I could use a lot of friends, so please add me! :)

    Hi moms! I'm a SHAM to 2 kiddos, a 2 yr old girl and an 8 month old boy. I love to be outside with my kids when weather permits! I have used mfp for a while although inconsistently. My weight before my first was 160lbs (I found out I was expecting the morning of my wedding :) ) and I gained 40lbs with her and lost 25 lbs. With my second I gained 30lbs (205lbs). I am stuck at 180 lbs and ideally would love to be 150by Christmas. My main exercise is walking but I need to find something more I enjoy doing.

    Hey there fellow moms! I am a mom of 3 girls (10, 8, & 2). I just started MFP a few weeks ago & I'm always looking for other fellow moms for support & motivation. I've lost 5 lbs so far & my ultimate goal is to lose at least 23 more. I haven't been that weight since college. I'll be turning 39 in less than 2 weeks & who wouldn't love to be able to say they weigh as much as they did in college when they're 40?!? Lol!! I've got a year to make it happen ;) Add me!!!

    Would like to be at my goal by my birthday, end of June. I kickbox 5 days a week, and have an active recovery day of walking on a treadmill at an incline one day. Eating is the hardest part

    Hi! I'd love some mom friends as well. I'm a new mom to a one month old baby girl. I gained almost 60lbs during my pregnancy. I lost about 25ish in the first week or so postpartum, but nothing since then. I know it's early still, and I can't really diet while breastfeeding, but I have no clothing that I can wear right now except and it's only going to get worse as the weather gets hotter, since all of my pregnancy clothing was for the cold winter weather. I have a good 30 pounds to lose to get back to pre-pregnancy weight, plus the 10-15 pounds I wanted to lose before getting pregnant. I've always had a really hard time losing weight, so I'm worried that I'll get stuck where I am. I'm still waiting on the go-ahead from my doctor to get back to working out, so for now I'm trying to focus on eating healthfully and not comfort eating or falling back on junk food when I'm tired, which is all the time these days.
    Topped out at around 230 before giving birth, currently 203, would like to at least get back to pre-pregnancy weight of 175... and then hopefully down to around 160ish in the long term. I have a few months before I have to go back to work, so I'd love to be down at least 15lbs or so by then (hopefully at least enough to fit into my bigger/stretchier work clothes? I can't afford to buy a whole new wardrobe!).

    I'd love some mom friends! I've just started working out a little over a month ago. My second child was born late December but am eager to get the weight off!
    Before I had my son 3 years ago I was the lowest I ever was at 120 (I was boderline underweight tho). Gained more than 80lbs with my son. Before I got pregnant with my daughter I was 160 and only gained about 40 that time.
