Hello everyone! I’m new to this app! A little bit about myself; I gave birth to my one and only child, 3 years ago, to a healthy baby boy, and have not lost any weight since then. I used to only weigh 120lbs at 5’2 pre-pregnancy, but during my pregnancy I ended up gaining over 50lbs. 3 years later, I am still stuck at 147lbs! I am really hoping this app will help me get started on my journey back to my old self.

Welcome!

    Welcome! Are your goals to weigh how much you weighed before pregnancy? My short term goal to energize is to lose 5 lbs. and then keep going from there. I currently weight 159 lbs. and would like to weigh 130 lbs. Similar amount of weightloss.

    Thanks for the warm welcomes! I’m not going to lie, my goals are to look as good as I did before I gave birth which was 120lbs. Ever since I gave birth, I lost all my self confidence and I’ve been super insecure. Even getting dressed everyday makes me sad because I have to find clothes that hide my new “mom” body. I’m really hoping to stick with the suggested calorie intake for me based off this app and take it from there.
