    Hi
    My son is 2 years old and I am trying to lose 70 lbs. I almost did it and then I let myself go and gained it all back. I can really need motivation :)
    Cheers from Canada

    Not newly postpartum but gained weight while breastfeeding and more after taking antidepressants. Babe is 2 years old but I have about 25-30 to lose. Feel free to add!

    Just had my third baby and am the heaviest that I've ever been. None of my old clothes fit. My goal is to lose 30 lbs with a more balanced, Mediterranean-type diet and exercise. It's hard to exercise with three young kids in the house (and snow outside!), but I would really like to tone up a bit so I'm stronger. I ordered a pedometer to track steps and do short spurts of YouTube videos, sometimes put on good music and run around the house with the kids. Any little bit counts!

    Good luck, ladies!

    My daughter is 18 months and I have lost and regained weight since she was born with breastfeeding and stopping breastfeeding. Finally getting really focused and am committed to MFP for the first time. I'm new to all this so I'm not sure what adding each other means etc. Id like to lose 50 lbs. I'm also doing the Kayla Itsins BBG. Happy to find some other mom's at different stages with similar goals!

    Feel free to add me! My second is 7 months. I'm about 20 pounds away from pre-pregnancy weight and after that I want to lose another 20. My goal is to do this slow and steady over the course of the next year! I'm still breastfeeding so I don't want to do anything drastic. I want to get in my 30 mins of exercise a day and not over do the food intake! I lost weight on MFP before I had kids and also after the birth of my first! So I know I can do this. Its just hard to be back here again at the "beginning!" I didn't have any friends on here before so maybe the extra support will give me the boost I need!

    I was looking through my own discussions and saw that I never revisited this one. I blame it on the hardcore baby brain I had going on then. Almost a year later.... HIIII! lol Added you all. :)

    Hi everyone Iโ€™m currently three months postpartum and my weight is a disaster! I have been putting on weight since I had the baby (as well as put on too much during the pregnancy) and I need to turn the tide urgently and get back into better habits. Would be great to have some friends on here to share the journey with and motivate one another if anyone is interested in connecting please let me know :-)

    Hi! Had my little girl 18months ago and gained around 45lbs during pregnancy, managed to lose a bit just going walking/chasing after a toddler! But want to lose the rest. Iโ€™ve got around 20-25lbs to lose, going to try and eat a bit better before Christmas but hoping to really get on it after Christmas so would love some support! Feel free to add ๐Ÿ˜Š

    My little man is almost 18 months now too @katashalouise and I'm struggling to lose the last 8 lbs or so. With my first two I didn't even have to try. This one has been a long hard process though.
    So... Let's get it done together. Adding you. :smiley:

    Hey guys, Ive had my 3rd (and final) baby! She's now 9 months.
    My other girls are 4 and 2. (yeah I've been busy haha)
    Anyway in August I was at my heaviest (184) leaving me with 40lbs to lose, I've lost 12 up to now.

    My way at the moment is cutting out carbs such as bread potatoes and pasta (these bloat me terribly) . And if I am going to have it it's very small amounts. (so no more than 1 peice of bread a day, and about 75g of any of the others)
    To make things easier I don't cook separately for myself., All our evening meals consist of meat, vegetables and a kind of carb.
    So instead of the carbs I switch it out for salad.
    I weigh everything (this is so important)
    I drink (or try to) 8 glasses so water a day. (about 2L)

    And my exercise.. We like a PP said with 3 it's really hard.
    But once the girls are in bed (and asleep) which is around 7 or 8pm then as long as I've kept the house relatively tidy in the day I do a 30-45 minute workout on Youtube, mainly a POPSUGAR one!

    Hi everyone. I'm a mom of one who just turned one in November. I had lost all of the weight right away breastfeeding but gained it all back plus more with not taking care of myself.Before getting pregnant I already had to lose weight so I'm hoping to continue to lose more after losing the baby weight. I'm hoping to add moms to help me be more accountable for keeping up with my food diary and exercise.
