    It's so hard when you have a little one who needs you 24/7. I have two, ages 5 and 8. it has taken me until now to be able to focus on me and there are still times when it feels impossible. Feel free to add me :smile:

    I'm in the same boat! I've gained weight while breasfeeding (my daughter is 4months old) and even if I have all the motivation in the world to try and workout, my little girl needs so much attention I don't have time for that! What helps me not depress, is telling me "it took 9months to gain that weigh (prengnancy), to be healthy and still breastfeed strongly, it should take at least as long to loose the weight!!" Feel free to add me! We all need support in this hectic journey :smile:

    I don't know about you, but when I was breastfeeding, I used it as a bit of an excuse to "get all my nutrition in" which was my way of justifying overeating. That could be just me though. Feel free to add me. Losing weight with growing babies to feed is tricky.

    Mom of 2 adult sons.....

    Here's an old weight watchers trick.... When you are doing dishes - pour the dish detergent on anything the kids leave on their plates. Most folks won't eat dish detergent.
