hello everyone,

I've decided it was time for me to loose weight now that my youngest is almost 3 years old.
Before my first baby I weighted 114 pounds then I got pregnant and gained 26 pounds but while breastfeeding I gained 10 pounds more. Once I stopped breastfeeding I lost weight and got down to my 114 pounds without doing anything.
I thought after my second baby it would be the same especially since I only gained 14 pounds during pregnancy but again while breastfeeding I gained more weight and at the end of breastfeeding I was 139 pounds, that was a year ago and I am still 139 pounds.

My goal is to get down to between 108 and 112 during the loss phase because I know that I will gain a little weight during stabilization.
I started 4 days ago a 1200 calorie diet, my husband bought me an elliptical that I will receive on Saturday. so I can start sport as well.
I came here because I hope to find people like me to help stay motivated.

Thanks for reading

    Hi, this is a great place for help and support. I only discovered MFP about 4 weeks ago, but better late than never.
    My weight when I first started this weight loss journey was 182lbs and am 5 ft. I now weigh 118.8lbs. So I'v done a lot of it without MFP but glad to have found it now. Sending friend request.
