    Add me! I'm a mother of a six month old and need to lose about 17 lbs to get to pre-baby weight. I started back to exercising and eating well about a month ago and I've lost 3 lbs. I'm always posting and I have an open diary.

    Im a newer mom I have a 16 week old baby and I also still need to lose the weight from my first baby that is 3 years old. I am done with this extra weight and want to get my life back. So 40 lbs to go. I have been doing pretty well since setting off on this weight loss journey I would love to motivate anyone in the process and it would help me too!

    I'm in the same boat as well. I have a now 8 month old and a 3 year old and I'm still holding on to baby weight from my oldest. I'm tired of being tired and want to be healthy and able to keep up with my active kiddos. My ultimate goal is just overall health, so looking to lose fat and add muscle, regardless of weight. Would love to have some buddies to add as friends and keep each other motivated!

    I have a 9 month old and 4 year old. I need to lose the 10-20 lbs I gained before having my first kid. I just can't seem to stick with it. I want to be able to wear the clothes in my closet that I haven't touched in over 5 years.

    I have a 1 week old and 19 month old. I'm just starting to figure out my approach to lose the pregnancy weight this time around. With my older daughter I used MFP and got down to my prepregnancy weight just in time to get pregnant again. I'm interested in finding support, especially from others that are breastfeeding.

    I am also a new mom. Just about to hit my 6 week post cesarean mark and am looking for motivation and new mfp friends for my journey. I have 40-50 pounds to lose. I'm currently 190 lb and am hoping to get down to 140-150 lb.
