Hey Momma's,
I spent the last 10 months taking it pretty easy, enjoying life as a new mom. I'm now feeling like I'm ready to get back at it. Slow and steady is my new goal as I have other priorities in my life now. Looking for friends in a similar boat.

    The only thing different with me is that the taking it easy started midway through pregnancy and my little boy is now nearly 14 months old!! I'm absolutely with you on the slow and steady - as a working mum, time is precious. However, I'm also finding that the healthy eating and fitness is now a higher priority than it used to be - I want to be able to chase my increasingly speedy little boy around and play with him and I want to live a long and healthy life to see him grow up and find his way in the world. Suddenly it is more important! Sending you a friend request :)

    Feel free to add me... I have a 3.5 year old and a 17 month old. I've been actively trying to lose since last summer, so I'm about halfway to my goal now, with about 30lb to go :smile: It's been pretty slow and steady for me - spending time with the kids is definitely a priority!

    Hi! I have three kids, youngest is 15 months. I started actively losing weight 10 months ago and am now in maintenance. Definitely agree with slow and steady, no one needs a hangry momma. Now, I'm really just focusing on kepping up with my fitness. My gym closed 2 weeks ago and I'm feeling a little worried.

    Congrats on your little one. I have two girls that are 3 and 6. Its definitely harder to find the time to work out because family, work, and college take precedence but it's worth it when I see my kids making healthier choices because I'm modeling healthier choices for them.

    Hi! Mine is almost the same age as yours- 9, almost 10 months and I am in the same boat. I didn't worry much about my weight before but now that I am breastfeeding less those last pounds are being stubborn, but I'm not in a rush. Just trying to live a healthier lifestyle. Feel free to add me!

    My kids are similar in age to yours! Almost 7, 5, 3, and just turned 1. :)

    I'm down 80 lbs in the past year with my four hooligans so it can be done! You just have to make time for it.

    Mom of 3 (7, 5 & 8 months)
    This has been the hardest pregnancy for me to shed any weight. I think I'm only down about 15 lbs. Since my sons birth.
    I just started seeing a personal trainer twice a week. I've signed on with him for 9 months to lose 50 lbs. I definitely need someone to push me this time.
    Add me if you would like :)
