    Congratulate yourself on getting started to being a new you! You're a new mom, and it happens. We put others before ourselves, and it takes some time for us to get back to giving to ourselves in a healthy way. I found this site to have some really nice and motivating people. We're all going through this process together. Feel free to add me. I'll do what I can to add a motivation word every day!

    You CAN do it. Just start small and stay positive. Maybe start by changing what you eat, you'll be surprised at how this will make you feel better, even without much exercise. Not sure how old your child is, but go for walks or play at the park, really play. This will be exercise that will seem fun!

    You WILL have hurdles but don't get discouraged. Just ask the people around you for support, you may be surprised at how willing they are to help!

    Totally understand the mom thing,I have 4 kids and gained about 60 each and only lost 30 After they were born,so yea after 4 kids I was overweight by more than 100 lbs! In total I've lost 70 and STILL have 60 to go. Good luck on your journey, this place is amazing for support! My request is sent!
