Hello ladies! I love the idea for the group and I am really hoping that would be the push I need to finally feel accountable for my daily choices and getting better habits. The little I read so far has been pretty inspiring, I'll keep reading trough your stories for sure!

I recently gave birth to my first child, 3 weeks ago. I gained 15-17 kilos during that pregnancy, but started with a pretty high weight too, so I was about 105kg right before birth. I had preeclampsia and had swollen soo much during the last few months, had to be on medication, avoid drinking water and cut out a lot of foods so basically ate the same every day.. Now I am trying to get rid of all that and get to a more normal daily routine.

My goal before pregnancy was to get to 70kg, had to lose around 15 kilos, since I gained them after starting a desk job, so ideally I still want to get there, just have to also lose the added bonus few. I lost around 7-8kg after the delivery, so about 23 left.

I have had an issue with staying active since I started working (there were constantly so many sweets at my workplace, most days I would survive on sugar and cigarettes), and have pretended one or two of this or that won't hurt.. and used to skip adding bad days to mfp out of guilt, so I definitely think that by getting serious about this app again, and with so many people here on a similar journey, I do have a chance to get there sooner.
