Any new mommy's out there?

Hi everyone! New to this...I had my son in January, and I've never been this heavy! I'm 5'6, 205 lbs and 27 years old. Looking for any new mommy's out there for some motivation and similar lifestyle! I work full time and its so hard to find enough time to exercise and spend time with my son. Right now my goal is 170 lbs, and when I get there probably more...please feel free to add me!

    I'm not a new mom, but I have a 7 year old and an 11month old. I just started trying to lose my extra weight I gained during my last pregnancy though. I thought it would magically melt off...feel free to add me :-)

    I'm a new mom! I had my son 10 months ago and am looking to lose at least 20lbs. I'm 5'6 as well, 23 yrs old, and work full time. Unfortunately I don't have much time to exercise either so I'm focusing on more healthy eating right now. Feel free to add me ladies!

    I just had my first son in January also, but I was already heavy prior to getting pregnant. I would really like to lose 150, but setting smaller realistic goals in increments of 20.

    Great! :) much weight are you looking to lose? And if you have lost any already, how do you find time to exercise, work and be a mommy?!

    I've lost about 20lbs, but have over 30lbs left to drop. I make the time to exercise and plan ahead on meals. My kids are 5, 3 and 2 and very active so I make sure to play with them outside on a daily basis. They go to bed at 8:30pm and I have a treadmill I get on at least 4 days a week. For the 1-2 days they are away at their dad's house I get outside and walk/jog. I also have the 30DS video I do at least once a week for something different. I always found time to watch my favorite TV shows so I can find the time to exercise. Diet is also important so I weigh everything and log it. I want this to be a lifestyle change so I can keep the weight off so it has just become part of me. :)

    Good for you! Keep it up! Good point about finding time to watch your favorite tv show. I can find time to exercise. Thank you! Yesterday was my first day of eating healthier, and cutting calories. Not going to lie, if was hard, but I did it!

    The 1st day is the hardest! Once you get use to measuring food/logging it get easier. And when you add in exercise it will make you want to eat better (at least for me it does). :)

    Hi ladies!

    I'm looking for someone similar to me to motivate each other and make this journey fun and interesting, i am 26 and have a 9 Month old son and am so frustrated that I hadn't been able to get the weight off. I'm thinking of weekly weigh ins, constant communication to keep each other on track and some one interested in doing small monthly swaps, kinda like the fit fab fun box where you get some beauty, health and just fun goodies as a surprise to start the month. Any one interested in being my partner in the "Mission MILF" please reach out :) thanks

    I'm not exactly a new mom, but I am a mom to a 2 year old and I gained 100lbs over the course of my pregnancy and within the few months following. I'm setting out to lose it now and have lost 42lbs so far. Anyone can feel free to send me a friend request. I'll send you one OP.
