My name is Tania and i'm 22 years old. I just had a baby girl named Keira and I have a 15 month old named Mylee. I got pregnant with Keira when Mylee was just 4 months old, so I never got the chance to lose all the baby weight from my 1st pregnancy. I gained like 70lbs when I was pregnant with my first and lost all but twenty of it before I got pregnant again. Then I gained 39 when I was pregnant with Keira (from my 1st prenatal appointment) and I've lost 38 so far!!! I still would like to lose another 30 to be comfortable with myself. My fiance and I are getting married in March 2010 and my goal is to lose another 30 by the wedding! I need support!!

    My oldest is 21 months and my youngest is 5.5 months. Super busy!! I am working my butt off to get some of this baby weight off as I still had 30lbs on me after my first before the surprise of my second happened!!! We are going to try for #3 in late Spring! :happy:
