Hi, everyone! I am hoping to lose the baby weight I gained with my second child. He is now 18 months and I think it is time...tired of telling people I aready had the baby. LOL Anyway, I think this will be a good tool to help with accountability.

    Welcome! I'm also "keeping the baby and losing the weight". So far I've found this is a great tool since I'm losing "on my own" so-ta-speak. It's a great way to conect with others that you know are feeling exactly the same way! Good luck!

    When I first started here I was here to lose the baby weight from baby number 2 and number 1 HAHA. I have been here now for 3 months and I am almost down to what I weighed when I met my husband. I am trying now to get to a healthy weight!

    Congrats on the new baby!

    Hi Everyone! Just joined tonight to help me get back to the way I was before I had my 15 month old twin girls! I am 9 lbs heavier than before I got pregnant with them. First, losing 9 lbs is my goal and then my next goal would be to lose another 10 lbs! One question....does anybody have any good ab excercises for "split abs". Since I was pregnant with twins and almost went full term my ab muscles completely split down the middle. I am looking for ways to put them back together! ha,ha,ha! Thanks!

    tangontrouble, I am definetlly old enough for 5 kids - I am 37 - My girls are 17, 8, 5, 2.5 and our boy is 4 months. With all of my girls I waited soooo long to get back in shape, so I know how you all feel. Now that I know that we are done, I want to get my body back as soon as possible. My motivation: 20th HS reunion and an AZ swim suit season that comes way to soon.

    Abulluck, First, congrats on having your boy :love. Do you have trouble with balancing time? I have a daughter who is 5 and an 18 month old son who I mentioned earlier. With my first I was able to lose it much more quickly than I am now. It just seems my metabolism has slowed down. Oh and I completely understand about swimsuit season...I think I'm ready to hit the beach with the kids and feel good about it. LOL
