Hey ladies! I'm a 25 year old mother of one. My son turned 1 last month, so I've started thinking about my next baby (I don't want too much of an age gap). I was on a weight loss journey anyway, but now I feel a bit more motivated. Being overweight and pregnant was awful for me, as I have trauma induced arthritis in my left knee and I carried HUGE, so I really struggled.

Next time, I'd like to be a healthy weight and have a stronger body ready for labour and delivery. I was so unprepared last time as my son was unplanned and I didn't know what to expect. Anyway, looking for other mother friends to connect with on this site and motivate each other. My main goal is to lose my post-baby overhang that I still have!

But weight wise I need to be less than 12 stone to be healthy, so I have about 23lbs to lose! x

    Hi! I'm Cheri. I'm 25 and mother to one also. My pregnancy was unplanned and emotional distressing. I ate SOOOOOOOOOOO much and binge ate all the time. I gained 100 lbs :(

    Needless to say, I am NOT thinking about a second baby any time soon LOL

    I have come a long way and I'm back on track now but still have a lot of toning to do ;)

    Hey Ladies! I'm a mom of 2, and my youngest has some health issues, so my self care took a backseat for quite some time. He's 19 months now and I'm finally getting more serious about my weight loss. I'd love some support from other moms trying to fit it all in!

    Hi Ladies! I'm Danielle, mother to one almost two-year old. I'm planning to get pregnant in the next couple months (fingers crossed) and would like to start this pregnancy at a lower weight and maintain a healthier weight throughout. I added all three of you and would love the support!

    I have three kids. My youngest is 15 months and I cannot lose the "baby weight." I am not sure if it still counts since she is over 1! Feel free to add me as a "friend."
