Hi there!

I am a new mommy from Southern Calif. I have beautiful weather just about all year round, but that STILL does not motivate me enough to change my ways. I used to walk as a teenager and young adult--I even completed a half marathon and a marathon! I would like to get back into shape. I am only 30 pounds overweight, and to me that is very realistic to overcome. I just think I finally have the motivation to get back into the game.

I would like more energy to keep up with the demands of my new baby, stepkids, hubby; to keep up with the demands of work; and to keep up with the demands of my house. I want to do it all! : )

My hubby promised me that if I made a regular effort to use the stroller in my walks, he would buy me a exercise stroller so I can later incorporate jogging. I used to enjoy light jogging, but right now since I am breastfeeding it is not conducive nor comfortable.

I am excited to maybe team up with a few other ladies to help me stay accountable. I am 35.

    OK, that was TMI. And not about the breastfeeding part either. The part about being a mommy!

    Just kidding.

    Good luck in achieving your goals!

    Welcome. If you go to the motivation and support then look for the sisterhood of holday crap my pants fit or maybe it is just siterhood week 2. I am part of that group we just started about a week ago. There are three bf Mom's I think.

    Hello and welcome! I'm one of the bf'ing moms in the sisterhood group! My baby is 3.5 months and I'm trying really hard to keep my calorie intake up and still lose this baby weight! Good luck to you.
