    Hi everybody, my name is Marie and I'm 23 years old. I have a 2 years old daughter and I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant with baby boy. I was in my best shape before I got pregnant the first time, running and lifting weights at 130lbs. I gained 65lbs while pregnant with my DD and lost 45lbs. Then I got pregnant again with my DS and gained 40lbs, so far! I'm pretty pleased since I didn't gain as much weight as the first time, and also because I've been through this before and I feel like the second time around I know more what to expect and how to bounce back.

    I am not currently logging anything, as I don't want to restrict myself until my baby is born, nor do I exercise since I don't want to accidentally induce labor before its time! I am simply preparing my come back, trying to make friends and seeking inspiration until I can finally start this exciting journey once again!

    I would like to meet some young moms trying to lose the pregnancy weight so that we can do it together en encourage eachother along the way :)

    I'm a mommy of six kids---five boys, one girl. Aged 13 to 7 months. I'm done having babies! My last three boys were all 10 pounds at birth and it did a number on my body. I'm looking for mom friends to help motivate me and push me to find a half an hour daily for exercise. I have at least 50 pounds to lose which would put me at a GW of 165. I have been almost all my life. I currently weigh 216 and I'm 5'9". I'm trying to eat a modified paleo diet---low carbs/high protein WITH DAIRY (I just can't give up milk products!). Right now I'm easing into things with walking but I hope to start doing zumba and elliptical to get fit. Feel free to add me! I have NO FRIENDS :(

    Hi All,

    I have a 7 month old and am starting to try and lose baby weight plus the extra weight I was carrying anyway!

    I'm still breast feeding and up until 3 days ago been eating like I'm feeding the world!

    Just started batch making hairy dieters meals and freezing them so on busy days I can shove one in the oven. Each meal is under 500 caps so really easy to do but takes time to prep... usually do it by sitting baby in front of toys and cbeebies after breakfast and morning nap!

    Please add me!

    Hi! I'm 30 years old and have a 6 month old beautiful baby girl! I'm looking to lose the weight I've gained since giving birth and going back to work. Also wanting to get rid of the excess weight I've been carrying for years. I want to teach my daughter that eating healthy, being active, and living the best life for you is far more important that the numbers on a scale. Would love to have some mommy friends who feel the same. I'm finally at a place where I can say I can't do this alone. If this sounds like you too, let's be friends!

    I've got a 15 year old, a 13 year old, and a 1 year old...a teenage girl and a toddler if you can even imagine. Anyhoo, I've lost 27 pounds...another 25 or so to go.


    That's great @eveandqsmom. How long did it take to lose the 27lbs. I just had a baby 4 months ago and I'm soooo ready to get this weight off!

    Hello mommas! I would love more mom friends so please add me and I will go through and add folks too!

    I have 3 kiddos: 17 year old daughter, 8 year old son, 6 year old son. I have never been what I consider 'my best shape' since I hit my adult years and want to be now! I have 15 pounds to my pre-son weight and would like to not only get there but also not be flabby there and feel like I am in good shape.

    I have a 12 month old at home and am finally back to taking care of myself. I work full time and am also in school full time for my PhD. Finding time to workout and make healthy meals is hard but I'm tired of making excuses. I'd love to have some friends on here who will hold me accountable :)

    Hi--I'm mom to a 10, 7 1/2 (the 1/2 is important, you know!), and 5 1/2 year old. I find it difficult to eat less when I'm cooking yummy meals, and to exercise with 3 kids!

    I'm pregnant right now but my little boy is on his way any day now. I hope to start eating healthy and attempting to get my prepregnancy body back asap. I know it will be hard work but I could use other moms support. :) Anyone can add me.
