I've got about 50 lbs to lose to get back to my pre baby weight. Then I'd like to lose an additional 30! I've found it a real challenge to find motivation as a new mom. Any other new moms (or women looking to lose the same amount of weight) want to be friends/start a group?

    I'm 8 months pp with my second child in two years. I'm eating better and starting really working out about 5 weeks ago. You can add me if you'd like. I have an open diary for friends and log daily.
    I've got about 15 lbs to lose to get back to my pre-preg weight.

    I’m 2 weeks postpartum with my first baby and I’m back to my pre-pregnancy weight (I only gained 18 pounds). But I was overweight to begin with so it’s not as impressive as it sounds. I really want to use my maternity leave to develop some good eating and exercise habits but I’m having a hard time not giving in to my old cravings, especially with breastfeeding. I also had a pretty traumatic delivery and am unable to do much more than a slow walk around the block. MFP has worked for me in the past...hopefully it will again.
