Hi all! I've been struggling since baby was born 8 weeks ago to get back on the band wagon. I've lost much weight with MFP before. Due to a pregnancy loss, infertility treatments, 7 months of bed rest and pregnancy complications and then a four week NICU stay for my baby girl, I have 80 lbs to go. I'm really hoping to find someone who either has lots to lose, is a new mom, and potentially wants to correspond several times a week and actually get to know each other and help each other stay consistent. Please add me as a friend and send me a message if you are interested in this too!

I would love to be in an accountability friendship with you. This is my first time using MFP, today was my 11th day. I have at least as much weight to lose as you and need all the encouragement I can get. I'm not a new mom, but I am a mom, had 1 c-section. Never had to experience NICU, but I can empathize. I can't imagine watching my baby suffer. I am a grammy and love that. My youngest is 9 months. I want to be able to watch them grow up. Need to be healthy and active!

I can't wait until I'm on day 11! I've read through tons of posts today, and really had a heart to heart talk with myself today. I feel good about things and am hoping I've turned a corner!

I'm sorry you have as much to lose as I do...but selfishly I'm glad that I'm not the only one! Congrats on your baby boy...I have four sons and a baby girl...so much fun!!

I hope your little girl is doing well! I had 2 c-sections, but my kids are older- college and high school. I don't think I have ever been back to pre-kids weight! I have 25-30 to lose. I can use some motivation friends, too!
