Hi everyone!
I’m Steph, 26 years old and a mum to a 10 week old baby boy. I’m sitting currently at 17 stones and this is the biggest I have ever been. I feel horrendous. I’ve lost my confidence completely.

The stress of being a new mum gets to me and I seem to comfort eat which is obviously helping me pile on the pounds. I need to get myself healthy. I don’t want to be the fat mum who can’t run around the park with her child.

My problem is I love food! I love my carbs. My fiancé eats whatever he wants and never seems to put weight on and I find that hard to live with. When I’m trying to eat healthy and he’s eating crisps and biscuits etc I end up caving. My motivation is low but it’s in me somewhere, I need help finding it.

I need friends who can support me when I have a low moment. I need friends to give me a kick up the *kitten* when I need it. I don’t want to do my weight loss journey alone, I need help!!

Please if you think you can help me, add me, message me. Let’s do this together!

    That’s my downfall, comfort eating and quick convenience food! My diet is also terrible but I’m determined tomorrow I’m going to give it a go!!!

    I tried to add you but it won’t let me add anyone as a friend, have no idea why! You’ll need to send me a request xx

    Hi Steph!! I lost a good stone and then put it all back on again after having Isaac. I have a good 5/6 stones to lose so I’ve got a long journey ahead of me. I so can’t wait to feel healthier and more confident again!

    Adding! I'm looking to lose at least these last ten lbs of baby weight from my second. She's 18 months now and I have a 4 year old son.

    Hey ladies! I’m in the same boat. I stay home with my girls (almost 3 and 6 months) and have kept all the weight on since my first was born...and I was heavier then than I would have liked. I’m trying to get into it now, and would love some new friends to help! Please add me!
