    I'm in! My second child(boy) just turned 20 months and I'm ready to get my body back.
    Pre pregnant weight - 140
    Weight at birth -190 :/
    Weight now - 163
    Goal weight 130ish

    I was able to get back down to 130 after my daughter was born but it didn't happen until she was 2 1/2.

    I just started Piyo on Monday and I'm counting calories. So far I'm enjoying piyo.

    Good luck to all of us!

    Sugar really gets me. I'm starting to experiment with stevia and xytherol. Interesting, regular artificial sweeteners made me have gallbladder attacks! Was awful.

    So what plan are you ladies using? Logging, intermittent fasting, low carb? Anyone home all day with the kids? All I do is snack!


    I'm home with kids all day. I always ended up snacking all day also and not eating an actual meal.
    I just started logging calories on Monday. I'm trying to follow the piyo eating guide as best I can. It's a lot of veggies and protein.

    I'm in!!
    My first daughter is just over 9 months now and I still have a long way to go to be at my pre-pregnancy weight! I've been breastfeeding, and only now (with calorie counting and working out consistently) my weight is finally starting to budge. Would love some accountability partners throughout this journey!! Please add me!!

    Pre-pregnancy weight: 155 lbs
    39 weeks pregnant: 215+ lbs (I stopped looking)
    1 day post partum: 195 lbs
    Current weight (9 months pp): 183 lbs

    My first goal is to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight (155 lbs)... And then get to 125 lbs eventually!

    I spend all day with my kiddos! I take them to work with me 3 days a week and the other days we just play at home. I'm definitely an all day snacker, stress eater, and I've always enjoyed sweets way too much!! I'm thinking about cutting out sugar for awhile to get cravings under control.. but I've found my will power isn't as great as it used to be. I'm starting potty training again with my toddler tomorrow... so really hoping I can avoid stress eating lol he's very stubborn!

    I'm in.. I had gained weight after getting married and after 3.5 years of marriage, had my now 8-month-old son, who was born 11.02 pounds. After a complicated emergency c-section I'm now finally able to be more active and have time to focus on trying to watch what I eat. I'm hoping to get closer to my weight when I had just gotten married because that's when I had the most energy and I want to be more active and fit again for my son. More kids are definitely a plan for the future.

    Weight when I got married: 140
    Pre-pregnancy weight: 180
    Weight just before I delivered my 11lb baby: 225
    Current weight: 178
    Goal weight: 140

    Wow! 11 lbs!! My first was 10 lbs 9 ounces and youngest was 10 lbs even and the hospital said they were the biggest babies they ever delivered. Lol Did you have diabetes? Just curious because everyone always assumes I did with having big boys, but I never did.
    That's my goal too, be healthy and active for my boys and hopefully more babies in the future!

    11 pounds is awesome!! Wow!!

    My boys were all around 8 plus and that was a challenge! My first was an emergency c after 36 hours of labour so I hear ya on it taking time t be ready for activity. Listen to your body as you recover it's a big surgery.

    I LOVE all your ladies responses about healthy living for a healthy family. It's so true that as mothers, we set the tone in what we prepare and the example we set.

    This is an amazing and inspiring group of ladies!!

    When we pottyvtrained my first we did it the old fashioned way - he would be naked all day and I asked him constantly if he needed to pee lol

    It worked alright but he regressed when staying overnight at my parents for a weekend. Then he decided two months later on his own accord to be done with diapers and hasn't had an accident since 1.5 years later.

    Same with my second. He decided at just over 2.5 years old that he was done with diapers and was a big boy like his brother. So much easier ....

    For moms who want to get out more but are struggling with what to do for lunched for the kids etc.

    This is our go to. Lunches and dinners if we want to be out at the park or the beach all day. It's super quick (especially because I prep my veggies when we bring them home from the grocery store) AND the kids love it!!

    Well done, ladies! I'm one of those unicorns who lose weight by breastfeeding. I'm weighing in at 62.3kg at 14.5 weeks post-partum while my pre-pregnancy weight was 64kg. My goal is to weigh 58kg.

    I'd like to join you too. I had my first baby 9 months ago. I was overweight before I conceived, but now I am obese. I quit smoking before getting pregnant and was on antidepressants postpartum for 7 months - I feel strongly that these factors influenced my weight. Anyway - I am now off the meds, still smoke free, and ready to reclaim my health!

    Weight before conception: 180
    Weight on day of birth: 215
    CW: 189
    GW: 165
