Hey guys, I'm a first time mom to a beautiful baby girl and it's glorious. What's not glorious, however, is the weight I gained and am now trying to lose. Also, brrastfeeding seems to actually be makibg it harder to drop the pounds. I'm trying to get below my prepreggo weight in all needing to lose about 30 pounds.

Anyways, I'm here for encouragement, I need motivation and help losing and I'd love to help others reach their goals!

    Hello!! I'm a mommy as well to a 9 month old baby boy. And I found that it was hard to drop the weight when breastfeeding because it is required to eat to keep a good milk supply. I am also needing and wanting to get back to my pre preggo weight. I am 169lbs, 5'4" tall and before having a baby I weighted 134. The smallest I have ever been!! And I am looking for support with healthy eating and to simply find balance. And also I want to stop eating when I am full, and when I am bored .

    Thanks guys! Congrats on both of your babies! All that I've read so far let's me know I'm in for quite a journey as long as we're nursing, but the hard work will be worth it!

    I'm 5'3" and 157 currently and am aiming for 130. I'll add you both for support both ways!

    Hi! I have a 16 month old baby girl and I'm trying to drop the last few pounds too. I breastfed for 11 months and I started slimming down once she weaned. Breastfeeding made me hold onto weight too. I'm now only 5 pounds away from my goal!

    Hi! I'm a first time mom also. My baby girl is 6 months old and I am still trying to lose the baby weight plus weight that I needed to lose before I got pregnant. If you (or anyone else) wants to add me, you're more than welcome! I need all the support I can get and would love to make some mommy friends.

    I no longer breastfeed (my daughter is 9 now) but I did do it for 3&1/2 years. I dropped the weight the first year & gained it back by the end. I am STILL working on getting rid of that lovely "mommy" pouch, though

    I waited to long to drop my baby weight.... my son was born 9lbs 14oz. .. I weighed only 122 when I found out and im all the way up to nearly 200lbs.... my kid will be turning 2 next month.... before the little one I had control of my sweets intake but during pregnancy it blew up on me so that's where mine lies. I couldn't do a lot of walking or running or even bending over due to a c section that didn't wanna heal right so it's why it has taken me so long to start up. Just take your time and breath. Don't fret so much! If you go over your calories by 100 do the freak out. Go for long strolls with your little one! It's why I've been doing.
