in Introduce Yourself
For 2016, I want my body back! I had a baby in August of 2015. We found out on New Years Eve last year we were pregnant and so I feel like I gave my body to him last year makig a nice cozy home and then continuing to give him all my attention and forgetting about myself. Now he is almost 5 months and while I am still breast feeding and plan to until he is over one. I am making a commitment to be healthy for me and him.

SW: (post-pregnancy) 215
CW: 203
GW: 175

Not sure how long this is going to take but I am looking for other mommy friends to join me along the way. Any takers?

Let me know how we can support each other?

    I had my youngest in November 2015 (4th boy!), and our stats are similar. Ready to lose this weight!

    Hey there. My twins will be one on January 28th. I'm currently 223. Lost 10lbs so far doing a liver detox. I gained so much weight and have 70lbs to lose. Add me and we can help each other. I'm too breastfeeding my twinkies...

    Hi my DS is 8 mo now.
    Current weight :195 pounds
    Goal weight : 150
    Breastfeeding and so once or twice when I cut out calories my milk supply dropped.
    No diet, but exercise to strengthen my core and my body. Feel more energetic is my goal for now.

    Hi, I'm Dinah. I had my baby girl in April 2015. I am also breastfeeding until she is one at least.

    Pre-pregnancy: 212lbs
    Delivery: 236lbs
    Current: 192.6
    Goal: 150lbs

    I had to have surgery 3 months PP due to delivery complications and I'm still recovering from that with another procedure coming February 18th, so working out hasn't really been an option for me. I can do some things, but I usually don't. I've changed my eating habits and I'm using MFP to track my calories . I'm losing weight slowly so it won't effect my milk supply.
    Feel free to add me! Good luck on your weight loss journey!

    I'm extremely lucky that since having my baby last May I have continued to lose weight without exercise. I never thought I would bounce back so easily. I have been and still am breast feeding but have realized i have lost a lot of muscle that I had established pre- pregnancy. I am now trying to eat healthier as I have not been. I am also trying to incorporate exercise into my day (without the ability to go to the gym) I would like to tone up since I am getting worried I will gain once the breast feeding stops. I need to be prepared. Any advise as to how to fit this into my day once I get home from work. Do any of you other moms have a routine that you do with your little one?

    My baby just turned 1 in Aug 2015 so I may be a year behind you but still in the same boat of trying to take back my body! I was 7 pounds away from my goal weight a few months after he was born but somehow managed to gain a lot of weight in the past year.
