Hi! I've been using this site for about 20 days now and am doing well on it but would love some friends to motivate and try to keep up with. I have a 28 day old baby. She is my 3rd and I'm trying to lose the baby weight I gained while pregnant with her and my second (never lost that weight before getting pregnant again). I want to take a family photo for our Christmas cards this year so looking good in that picture is my big motivation at the moment.

Weight at childbirth: 202
Current: 175
Goal: 140

    Wow! Congratulations! You are motivated - all I could think about after having a baby was sleep! Happy to send you a friend link! You can do this by Christmas!

    Hello!
    My name is Dee, I'm a mother of two daughters who's ages are 19 and 26. I've been w/ MFP for almost a month and I'm not doing that well :( You should be proud of yourself, you've lost 14 lbs!!! I'd love to lose that :). I really have to get myself together and stop playing, I'm getting married on Oct. 8th and the months are going fast. Sometimes I think it's a little harder for me because I work 3rd shift and my job is not physical at all. Well, that's all for now, I just read your post and I figured I'd say hello :)

    wow, you are doing really well! ive been here for a few days now and found some very inspiring stories from others on these forums!
    im 23 and have a son who is 7 and my weight since having him and gone up and down as i never felt pressured to lose weight after birth. in fact once i had him i ate and ate and shot up to almost 20stone within 2 years i was no way near that before i had him. i managed to loose most of that using all different diets and keeping most of it off. managed to lose 6 stone! but the last stone of that keeps creeping up on me all the time.

    ive been using wii fit for a while and managed to lose 15lb in the last month. im due to get married in the next 2 years so want to look my best. i have decided to use this site for support as my very slim fiance isnt that great with words of support or encouragement.

    i look forward to meeting lots of new people on here and wish everyone the best in successful weight loss :)
