New mum just moved to hertfordshire

Options
Hi
I'm a mum on maternity leave with a 4 week old and a 3 year old, I've moved to hertfordshire from north london and my only comfort at the moment is food (all the bad stuff)!!! Anyone in the same boat? :-) be nice to hear from anyone who's recently had a baby and looking to lose some weight, ive around 20lbs to lose but it may as well be 200 as I've struggled to lose these 20lbs for years and years!

    Hey there. I'm a mom to a 10 and 14 year old, but it took me nearly 8 years after having my second to finally do something about the 'baby' weight. MFP really helped me do that once I committed to being honest with myself about what I was eating. Just record as accurately and honestly as possible and you'll be able to kiss those extra pounds goodbye. :flowerforyou:

    Not a mum and I have more than 20lbs to lose but I used to live in Hertfordshire (Elstree for 22 years then Kings Langley for a few) until I moved to Wales 3 years ago
