Hello Ladies!

I am new to this group, though not to MFP.

I'm 5'9, and 31 yrs old, I had my first baby about 11 months ago and gained 65 lbs while pregnant. I was a bit overweight when I got pregnant with him and ended up at 234 at the end of my pregnancy. (218 if you're not counting baby weight)

Since then I have lost 76 lbs and am now 158. My goal is to be between 140 and 135. So I have roughly 18-23 lbs to lose. I try to eat right and exercise at least 4x per week

However it seems the closer I get to my goal the harder it is to stay on track.... WHY?!? It's so frustrating!!

Anyway, I could use some friends to stay motivated to log and exercise....Anyone wanna add me?

    Feel free to add me, I am almost at my initial goal although not sure if it will be my ultimate goal but have a feeling that I will be using mfp for a long time to come hopefully just for maintenance :)

    I'll add you. I'm very similar, get close to goal and then sabotage myself

    I need friends for accountability too! Please feel free to add me - anyone!
    I'm 42, I have four kids, and I have 22 lbs to lose. But I've been losing and gaining the same 6-7 lbs all year

    I'm feeling the same. It's been harder the closer I get, maybe because change is becoming harder to notice now that I'm normal weight. And I'm just tired of it! But, like you, still not done.

    I'm 5'8, 156lb and goal weight is 145. Maybe I'll get there by the end of the year lol

    I really need peeps in the same boat as me to help with motivation. I have about 18lbs to lose but I get stuck at the same weight and then stop! Good luck to you all :)
