I am looking for friends who are in a similar boat- I want to be a good example for my son for what eating healthy and living a healthy lifestyle is about. I used to be very active, energetic and didn't crave junk food. Then I had my son, felt really tired and just kind of let it go. And it sure went....I've gained about 50lbs in the last 4 years. It is time to take it all off! I want to have another child, but I don't want to start trying again until I am back at an ideal weight.

Please friend me if you want support or have similar situations.

    I have a 2 year old and a 6 week old sons and currently am breastfeeding. I am trying to set a good example for my sons and finding it hard to stay away from sweets but I'm on my 3rd day without candy/junk food. Feel free to add me. I have lost 10lbs and have another 20 I'd still need to lose.

    Hey!
    I'm 26 and just had my first daughter 4 months ago. since high school I have gained about 100lbs.

    when I got pregnant I gained about 20 lbs and just can't seem to Lose it due to awful eating habits and drinking WAY to much pop.

    I also am wanting to become healthier and eat better to show my child what it's like to be healthy.

    nice to meet you :smile:
