    Hello Courtneycade3! I'm on my second child! I will also be trying to get back to my strawweight size. I would love to assist you in this process if you need help. I'm already half way through my second child and have a steady gain of 8 healthy pounds. I hope your weight loss journey is successful!

    Hi Courtney. I had a baby boy in June and am trying to lose about 50 pounds (most pre-baby weight, yeesh). Perhaps we could motivate each other!

    I just had a baby in Decmeber and I'm still 25 pounds up from my normal weight. We're thinking about trying for another baby later this year and I'm standing my ground on not trying until I've lost all this weight!

    August baby (#3) here! 20 lbs until I'm pre-baby (first goal), then 15 to my second goal. I've never lost while BF, and I just stopped last week. So I'm ready to get this weight off!

    Had a baby in September too. My second and I'm trying to lose 70+ lbs too. Just started on MFP 2 days ago and waiting to get my elliptical Thursday. So excited and so done with all this extra fat on me.

    Had my first a month ago. So far I've lost 24 of the 55 pounds I gained during pregnancy. Haven't been working out yet besides walking but I've been tracking all my food and it seems to be working!

    Had my 2nd child July 7, 2015. She just turned 8 months old. I was overweight before I got pregnant due to never losing my baby weight from my son who is now 9. I ate extremely healthy while pregnant due to gestational diabetes. I only gained 5 pounds while pregnant. After I had her I ebf until she was 5 months old. The weight fell off due to continuing to eat right and breastfeeding. I am currently 32 pounds under pre pregnancy weight. I still have about 30-35 pounds left to go to reach my ultimate goal. I know the struggles of parenting/working out/eating right along with working a full time job. I hope we can all motivate each other to do the best we can. Even if I can't get in a workout for a few days in a row, I at least try to eat right. We're all in this together.

    Just had baby #4 last week but I need to get my eating on track! Everyone likes to bring us cookies and pasta and since I didn't have to cook it, I'm thankful and gobbling it up! But I need to eat right to keep up my energy for chasing 4 kiddos now so please add me!

    Hey girl I had my baby in September too!! A little girl! I had lost 117 lbs prior to getting pregnant and gained a lot of it back. I'm down 50 lbs so far since November. It's definitely been a tough battle with having a newborn and not wanting to eat everything in site haha!!! We got this!

    I am looking for some breastfeeding momma's as well! I know I can't limit my calories but I am looking to start eating right and exercising. I lost 20lbs right away still have about 30 to go! How do you account for breast feeding on here?

    I'm a breastfeeding Mama although I'm in the beginning stages of weaning. I gained 35 lbs in my pregnancy and lost 25 right away. But with breastfeeding and working full time, I gained 10 back. So now I need to lose 20. My daughter just turned 1 so it's time to stop procrastinating. Feel free to add me! We can do this Mamas :smile:

    Hi! I just had my second baby in January. During 2014/2015 I lost 23 pounds using my fitness pal and doing C25K. I put it all back on and more during this pregnancy. I've started calorie counting again and restarted C25K but this time the weight is not coming off! Feel free to add me everyone. I could do with all the motivation I can get right now. Feeling very frustrated!!

    Yes! I'm 8 months PP and I still have 20 lbs to lose. I'm getting discouraged because I'm doing a lot of walking and have been logging my food faithfully for 3 weeks and haven't lost any weight.
    Sigh.
    This is so much harder than losing weight pre baby.
