    I have a 3 year old and an 8 month old - working on the last 10 lbs or so once more to get back down to 120. I gained way more than I was hoping over the holidays, so back at the weight loss again!

    Hey everyone! My name is Jen and I'm 28 with two little boys. My youngest just turned 1 and the older one is 2 1/2. I have 50+ lbs of baby weight to get off and would love to just connect with others to help motivate one another! I haven't figured out how to add one another just yet so if you ladies wouldn't mind adding me I would appreciate it! This will be so nice to have friends on here to support one another :)

    New mom to a 7 week old. I've already lost the baby weight + 20lbs (thank you breastfeeding and low appetite) but I need to lose 50 more pounds. I'm taking things slow and easy after my c section. Add me if you want!

    Sorry, father here :# but! Father of three (9, 7 & 2). My wife is now probably in the best shape she has been in and it's awesome to see. Her biggest thing was introducing weights and not just doing cardio. Also (naturally) eating correctly (increased protein especially).

    OP, where in China are you? My sister spent 4 years in China, firstly in Hainan, then Guangzhou.

    I am in Wuxi, about 2 hours west of Shanghai. We've been in China for 8 years now. We love our crazy loves here!!!!

    So glad you ladies are all wanting to join in this mission together. It's hard work!!!! My biggest struggle are the cravings. That's why I have to cut out the grains initially- self control is not my strong suit. So far this week has been pretty good, getting in good habits, and working out daily. Did you know it takes about 21 days to create a new habit? I am working to do thing one day at a time, but looking forward to day 21 and accomplishing that. Yay, for working together!!!

    Mom of a 3 year old and I'm still trying to lose baby weight gain. It's tough especially with eating nutritional healthy foods. I all know what you are going through and would love the motivation to keep this weight loss journey going.

    Yay! For not being alone :) we are all in this journey together and in different places. It's so important to take the time and rest after having a baby, and soak up those sweet moments. I could have started at the gym sooner than a year after having my baby, but I allowed that time for myself to rest . Everyone is different I know! Now after 1 year I'm trying to hit it hard. After re looking at my stats, I'm still 20lbs down after having my first baby and losing weight, so I'm happy with that as a starting point. Here's to keeping each. Other in check and helping one another out, cheers!

    Mom to 3 and 2 year old girls (11 1/2 months a part)! I am 10 lbs up from when I first became pregnant and have another 10-20 lbs to lose after that.

    I would love to add you! I need motivation as well! I'm new to this site and counting calories.

    Hey! Newly single mom to a 2.5 rambunctious son. I have about 18KG to lose (40lbs) and super motivated. (honestly I am more energized than ever. I feel like when I look back on working 9 hr days, cooking dinner, cleaning, making lunches, even baking cookies and still doing our BMS time with my son all before 10 PM will seem impossible haha!)

    I don't BF anymore but I can tell ya once they hit the toddler years its easy to get in that cardio. Also as part of workouts and BMS time (Body/Mind/Soul for those interested) I use my son as a weight. I will have him on my shins feet up against the wall and do crunches and he gives me kisses when I get to the top. I do push ups with him under me and tickle his forehead, hold him straight out and do squats etc. so I incorporate my at home workouts with him

    I would love the add if anyone wants more friends! we all gonna be even sexier mama's for shizzle.

    Hey there. I'm a SAHM to a 4 year old.. 4 years went by so fast and I am sad to say that I haven't put the effort into getting this baby weight off yet... after 4 years :(
    However, I am motivated to do it now. 160 is also my goal and was my healthy weight for my height and age before I had my baby. Feel free to add me!!

    Hi! I have a 10 month old daughter. I'm also trying to get the baby weight off plus a little more. I'm still breastfeeding so it's going to be a little bit of a challenge. I'm going to a lot of HIIT workouts and eat fruits vegetables lean protein and healthy carbs. I'm scared to cut carbs completely because I don't want to lose my milk supply. I also want to try the couch to 5k program as well.

    I have a 8 month old and breastfeeding to its hard to know how much to still eat I'm doing a 30 minute work out every day today is the first day I weigh 12stone 6lb . Good luck x

    Is there anyway that we can start a group? I've been away from my fitness pal so long everything is changed and I didn't even realize I was getting notifications about this thread.

    @kharmon2013 Great job starting! I too waited a year since I was breastfeeding and it was a struggle hanging on to an adequate supply of milk...I didn't want exercise and calorie reductions to impact an already struggling supply...Once he turned one though, it was ON...I nursed him until 2.5 yrs but since he was eating and drinking other types of milk, that stress was gone!! I am now 55 lbs lighter, it took half a year to loose the bulk of the weight and six additional months for my shape to become more defined (ongoing process)... body weight exercises and now heavier dumbbells is assisting with that....Ideally I would like to loose a bit more body fat..It is too bad that I can't choose from where I'd like the weight to leave as I would be DONE thinking about weight LOSS only Muscle GAIN!! :-)

    @hdean1989 ] I was thinking the same thing. We should have a group for moms with young kiddos to support eachother. I'm new to this forum and site all together but I'd be happy to start one.

    Anyone can add me too! Please do.

    I have a 2 year old and 2 month old. Finally working to get this weight off. Breastfeeding too and curious to see what other momma's do for extra calories or the types of food they eat :)

    Mum to a 2 year old. Have had a couple of years of poor fitness due to her being too young to be independent enough to let me do anything active, but she now swims on her own so I'm working my way back to fitness by swimming with her regularly.
