in Getting Started
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.

    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). :)
