New mums

Any new mums out there want to pair up and help with accountability and sticking to goals? I'm thinking of a weekly weigh in and catch up?

I'm a mum to my first daughter who is now 8 months old. I put on a LOT of weight when I was pregnant and I'm now ready to try and get back in shape.

    My story is very different than yours (I was very obese while pregnant and gained a bit of weight during but actually lost it all and more before my baby was born - but I'm still fat even at 20 pounds lighter than my prepreg weight!) but I am a new mother of my first child, a 2.5 month old girl... I am very motivated and serious about getting healthy for my little girl!

    New mommy to a 4.5 month old little girl here. Breastfeeding and losing weight has proved way harder than I expected, so I'm back to mfp. Before pregnancy I has lost 95lb and maintained for a year. I was so proud of my body then. It's very hard to see it become something I'm not proud of again. We are pretty active and eat pretty well but I seem to only be maintaining. Frustrating. Will be nice to have others with similar problems to hold me accountable :)

    Mommy of a 4.5 month old little girl as well. Currently achieved my pre-pregnancy weight a couple weeks ago. Having a hard time right now to stay on track with the weight loss. I have always been on the fluffy side of life. I want to get healthy for my daughter and for myself. Really need the ,privation and help from my fellow moms in the community
