Trying to lose "Baby Weight" and looking for friends

edited October 2 in Introduce Yourself
I've been actively trying to lose weight for almost two months now, and have been on MFP for two weeks. I have an almost one year old at home and still haven't gotten all the weight off! I gained 50 lbs while pregnant with him and am having a hard time losing. I'm working out consistently and losing weight, but I'm going to need encouragement along the way! So far, I am down 4-5 pounds (my trainer won't let me weigh in!), but I have a long way to go.

    Good for you for taking an active step! Our bodies sure do change after we have kids and do funky things, especially when it comes to losing weight! This sight has great tools! Mine was 1 1/2 before I finally got fed up (and had hit the weight I was 40 weeks pregnant)

    Feel free to add me, anyone! I have a two sons, a 4 month old and a 5 year old. I had a difficult pregnancy that put me on bedrest which resulted in me gaining 65 pounds during pregnancy! I'd lost about 30 lbs before starting MFP but this website has been good motivation to keep going! :wink:

    Hi Ladies, feel free to add me. I have 4 kids, the oldest is 7 and my youngest just turned 1. I have lost all but 10 lbs of baby weight from all kids. I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight with my 4. But never lost all the weight from my very first child. It is a struggle and a long haul, but I am working it ;)
