    I had my baby in June, he just turned 1, but I'm still trying to lose the last 9 lbs.
    I was on WW, but I was at a plateau for 7 months!!!
    Thought I'd try MFP to see how I would do.
    So far I've lost about 2.5 lbs. in 3 weeks, so it's going slow but I'm not complaining!

    I wish I'd joined a long time ago...if I lost even 2lbs a month I could be down like 15lbs already. That's motivation for me :-)

    Although I'm at my pre-baby weight, I have plenty of weight to lose to get to a healthy weight.
    I never realized how many calories I eat until I entered it in on this site.
    I need the energy to chase around my Nov 2008 and Nov 2010 babies!

    I'm a November '10 mama! I've been stuck since he was THREE WEEKS OLD! What the heck? Isn't BFing supposed to help? Ugh! I still have almost 20 lbs to lose to get back to pre-pregnancy weight, but I'd like to lose 55 in all!

    Hey! I have a Oct '08 son and Nov '10 twins, I've been hanging out at the weight I was right after giving birth, about 30lbs up from pre-babies! I'm ready to get down past my pre-weight, I feel so conscious of what I'm eating since being on MFP, I eat whatever I like but I'm keeping track and actually STOPPING before I go crazy- Not like before! After, what has it been now? 4 days now of actually working my *kitten* out and being accountable for my food, my body FEELS stronger, it's amazing and I can't wait to see where it takes me. I'm so happy for this site and the Nov'10 mama support, we're doin this ladies!!

    I have a Aug 08 DS and was working my butt off and finally losing the baby weight from him then I found out I was pregnant with my surprise Nov 10 DD. I never got a chance to get rid of the weight from the first before I started packing on the pounds with the second. So here I am with 2 kiddos and an extra 30 lbs to lose.

    I have a July 08 baby and a Nov 10 baby. I gained too much with my first, but was able to keep it to minimum with my second. I am at my pre-baby weight that I was when I got preg with my Nov 10 baby, but 30-40 lbs from where I was before my first. I am done having kids and I just want to be HOT again. =):love:

    I have Feb 07 and Nov 10 babies. I've been overweight for as long as I can remember. Just before meeting DH eleven years ago, I had lost 60 pounds. Over the next six years, I gained it all back. With my first LO, I was back to pre-pg weight within four months with just breastfeeding. Not this time! I have about ten pounds of baby weight left and 80 pounds of other weight to lose. Ninety pounds seems like such a long road, but I really want to get healthy. I'm struggling with the food aspect, but MFP is helping me be accountable. I'm breastfeeding still, so I don't want to compromise that. Good luck, mamas! We can do this!

    How do you all manage to get in the required exercise? I've been able to maintain pretty healthy eating habits since I lost 40lbs a few years ago (with some pregnancy craving blips!). Even though I enjoy exercising, its really a struggle for me. My DH and I work full time and nearly opposite hours, so we are essentially 'single parenting' 6/7 days. I try to get out for a walk with the stroller after work, but when I only have ~3 hrs/day with my baby its hard to get motivated! Not to mention that I have to do laundry/cleaning/cooking...

    Just looking for some tips/motivation!

    I would like to know about the exercise thing also. I have trouble fitting it in and I am mostly a SAHM (work one day per week). There just always seems to be other things to do. I think this is partly avoidance on my part :ohwell:

    Hi! My daughter was born Nov 18! Now I'm trying to get this weight off so I can keep up with her!!! Great to see so many other Nov mommy's, and of course all other mommy's. Saw some of the exercise discussion; it's hard! My husband and I have a routine now - we exercise at night after we put baby to bed (we both work full time). It's just a short workout but I'm doing the 30DS so it kicks my butt! We try to walk on the weekend in the morning. I also joined a Stroller Strides chapter here; it's a mom and baby excercise group. It's great! Feel free to add me if you like ---

    Hi everyone, I have a son from May 03, a daughter from Oct 06, and another son from Nov 10. Since joining MFP I have lost 15 lbs, which leaves me with about 28 to go for my first goal weight and will put me back into the healthy range. For exercise I try to fit it in during the morning hours when my youngest is napping, and the other two can entertain themselves quite well for half an hour. There are days though where I wind up forcing myself to squeeze in half an hour at night after the kids are in bed, because it has just been that kind of day lol.... But anything helps I think, like dancing.stretching/whatever in the kitchen while dinner is cooking, calf raises while doing dishes, making the kids giggle during bath time cause mommy is doing squats, etc.... Be creative and have fun with it, at least that's how I try to look at it =)
