    What a great precious motivation! I think having a distinct goal is a great first step you know what you want and why you want it.. you got this!

    Good for you! I have an 11 month-old, and though I'm definitely, absolutely NOT ever trying for another one (she's all the happy baby goodness I ever want), I understand how hard it is to lose weight and be a mom. Tough work! Good luck! This website is full of awesome people and motivation. Feel free to add me if you'd like. :)

    Welcome!! You can do it and this site is a great help! My youngest is 8 and with the help of this site and exercise I finally lost that last bit of weight. Wish this site was around then!

    Hi there. I have 4 kids, my youngest is almost 1. I lost most of the baby weight from him, but not from my first one 7 years ago. LOL It is a hard to lose baby weight. Good luck!!!! I know you will be able to do it with help and support!

    Me too, my little girl is 14 months old and I'm not ready to start trying for #2 until mid next year, but I know that I don't want to have another baby before I lose weight! I worry that if I don't get rid of the weight now, it's just never going to go and I'm going to keep getting bigger year after year!

    I'm also trying to lose weight before getting pregnant. I have 2 boys already and I'm 40 years old! My hubby and I decided we wanted to try for one more! But I've been stuck at this weight for a while and want to lose 15 pounds before getting pregnant. Good luck to all of the mommies in waiting!
