Hello! New here on MFP :)
i gave birth to our first, a baby boy, about 5 1/2 months ago. I will admit I gained A LOT of weight during my pregnancy - so now I am really struggling with losing the weight! I have always been a smaller person and right now I feel like I am in someone else's body because my weight is so up from the pregnancy.. ugh!
If there are any other new mamas out there looking for support feel free to add me or message me and we can be cheerleaders for each other and also share our mama experiences! :)

    I'm a first time mom trying to lose the pregnancy weight as well. Mine's a year old so you have a head start on me! I want to get it off to hopefully have another smooth pregnancy next time around. Good luck good momma!

    Hey mama!!! I gave birth to my first baby back in April, he'll be 9 months old next week. I had been trying off and on the last couple months to start losing the weight I'd gained during pregnancy ( I started at 168 and was 218 when he was born, lost 40 lbs. right away and now trying to get rid of the last 28 and then some), but with breastfeeding It was so hard to watch what I ate and exercise. Now that he is older I am able to get back into a routine of eating better and working out. So far 8 lbs. lost and still losing :) You got this and trust me, I know exactly how you feel. I sent you a friend request feel free to add me and we can help each other!!! Blessings

    Just had my baby 6 weeks ago :) I was on depo before I got pregnant, and it absolutely wrecked my body. I was 135 when I started it, and 210 when my dr finally acknowledged it was causing my weight gain 1 year later. I was 210 when I got pregnant (absolutely could not lose weight because of the depo) and 253 my last appointment before baby was born. Down to 221 now, hoping to get back to 135. My body is actually responding to weight loss again, so I’m hoping this works this time! Congrats to all mommas :)
