I'm 3 weeks post partum and looking for new mommy friends who are trying to lose the baby weight too! I was 204 when I gave birth. Down to 182 and looking to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 155.

    My baby is 9 months old now, but I just started trying to lose the baby weight. I work full time, go to school full time, and have 2 kids so I've been super busy but I figured if I don't do it now ill probably never do it.

    My "babies" are 1.5 and 3.5 years old. I started seriously trying to lose the baby weight last summer and have now lost it all (down to 150 from a maximum pregnancy weight just over 220). I'm now halfway through losing the "husband weight" (weight I gained after starting to date my husband).

    I'm almost 2 weeks postpartum and ended my pregnancy at 194 currently 178 and looking to get back to 150! Started my pregnancy at 160, Before getting pregnant I lost 30 pounds using this app. I would love to have some mommy friends on here!

    I am still pregnant (36.5 weeks) but I have already gained 45 pounds. I am using MFP now to make sure I get enough calories and protein without too much excess so I don't gain too much these last few weeks and will certainly be looking for a community after the baby comes to help. I'd like to lose 50-60 pounds over the course of 12-18 months!

    I'm 4 months post partum, got up to 198 during pregnancy, now down to 175. Pre pregnancy I was at 168 but that was post surgery so I was heavier than I would like to be. Want to get down to 135-145 range! Feel free to add me. I've added a bunch of you. For those who I missed sorry! Phone and baby making this difficult so add me please!

    Hi Everyone,

    It's lovely to read all your stories on here. Finding all of you is great cos I was looking for a support group as I'm really keen to start losing my baby weight. Having done Slimming World in the past I know the power of support and hope I can offer a friendly ear to those who need it! I didn't want to go back to SW as my dietary outlook changed when I became vegan due to endometriosis. (Am not here to comment on others dietary choices, veganism is my choice and I don't force my views on others) saying that, throughout pregnancy I decided to listen to my body and eat what I felt. For some reason smoked cheese and tuna (not together!!!) became a staple of my diet. I put on 3stone (42lbs) having my son who was born in Feb this year. We're now nearly 10wks pp and am still breastfeeding.

    I look forward to the journey ahead and being able to offer a friendly ear if another needs support.

    hey there, I'm very similiar- 6 weeks postpartum and weighed 205 when I gave birth to my 2nd baby. I'm now down to 180 and would like to lose another 25 pounds. I've been walking and trying to eat healthy at around 1800 calories a day.

    I'd love more friends! I am 28 weeks pregnant with my fourth baby and will have about 25/30 pounds to lose at the end of this pregnancy in July. Trying to stay on top of my calorie consumption and trying to stay diligent with workouts to make that as smooth a road as possible!

    I'm a new mom, but been on a weight roller coaster my whole adult life, 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 I read I should not go below 1800 calories, has any one else heard that? Feel free to add me :)

    Yeah I'm reading we gotta eat more cause we burn calories while breastfeeding, I'm losing weight bc of breastfeeding.

    I'm 10 weeks PP. Had my baby via C section. Also had a resuturing after few days of C section. So i'm severely impaired in terms of workout selection. My doctor just cleared me for low impact exercises. I was 192lbs before delivery, now i'm 172lbs. My ultimate goal is 132lbs. Feel free to add me.

    7 weeks post partum to a beautiful little boy (my first). I gained about 25 lbs during pregnancy but I was higher than I wanted to be when I got pregnant.

    I've lost about 8 lbs since birth and am looking to lose 25+.

    I'd love more breastfeeding and post partum mommies!

    Please add me too, and if there's a group I'd love to join (not sure how it all works).
    I'm 10 weeks post partum and breastfeeding. I gained 50 lbs indulging my way through pregnancy for the second time in 3 years and am now at 180 lbs. My goal is 140, and I was at about 150 pre pregnancy.
    I'm curious how you all work breastfeeding into mfp. I add 500 calories per day as cardiovascular exercise, but for the first week of using the app I mistakenly upped my goal by 500 as well as adding the exercise, oops! Made it easy to stay under for that week though!
    And congratulations to everyone for your babies. There's no better reason to have weight to lose, right?
