    Just had my baby in September, and I gained way too much with my pregnancy. The big goal is to get back to a healthy BMI, which for me is 160. Weighed in this morning at 205.4. Current goal is a pound a week through the holidays, then I'll kick it up a bit if I can. (26 years old, 5' 7")

    Awesome we have similar goals ! Maybe we could hold each other accountable with a weekly update? Good or bad

    Hi! I have a 19 month old and an 8 week old. I gained more weight than I should've in my 2nd pregnancy expecting it to fall off like it did with my first.. Surprise surprise, I'm still fat. Lol. I'm trying to get back down to 160 lbs but I'd be really happy to see myself at 150 lbs. I'm 5'6" 186 lbs right now. Let's do this!

    I'm a new mom to a 7 week old. I lost all the weight but I'm looking to get muscles and flat abs! I've just started Lindsay brin's postnatal slim down and want to be held accountable. It's a great DVD and she helps you rebuild your core after having a baby :)

    Any new mom's that had a c-section. I did about 5 weeks ago. At my last doctor appointment according to the scale I weigh 3 pounds less than I did when I started the pregnancy. Only is I still have a small round belly that shows when I stand up.
    How do I get rid of that?

    6 day old here... Just focusing on logging, breastfeeding and establishing supply. I had a c-section and wearing my abdominal binder all day, it is helping with reactivating my core muscles. Gained only 25 lbs during the pregnancy and still retaining fluids so my current weight is not accurate.

    New mommy too! She is almost 4 months and I'm 2 pounds away from pre pregnancy weight, only problem is i was the heaviest I had ever been when I got pregnant! So I still have 67 pounds until my goal weight ( then I'll reavaluate) just picked it because it was my marriage weight.

    My daughter is 10 weeks old and I'm about 10 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm breastfeeding which means I'm starving all the time. Trying to focus on tracking all food and staying under my max calories - everything else can wait! I need simple in my life right now.

    Hi there, I just had a beautiful baby girl back in June and had some serious inflammation in my feet afterwards that caused me to not be able to walk or anything. It was awful! (planters fasciitis) I just recently got help and had some acupuncture done and now am mobile, thank God! I would love love love to have some friends on here that can help motivate and support.

    Add me! I'm always looking for mom friends! I'm pregnant with baby #4 (and final!) and not looking forward to being postpartum in July (I've always been postpartum in the winter when I can hide under clothes). So I'm trying to maintain a healthy weight and exercise level now to mitigate the work in July and August!

    You can add me, i too need friends and motivation. I topped 215 when I gave birth in March. Been off​ mfp for a year, now im down to 188 & my goal is 150lbs. Since I'm breast feeding & no other help to watch baby, since hubby works overtime so I can be home, it is difficult working out.
