Hi all,

I’ve been around MFP for awhile but I’m looking for some new friends to help motivate me with my weight loss and fitness goals. I had baby number 2 in November 2019 and while I’ve lost all the weight I gained, I still have another 20lbs from baby number 1 who is six. I’m currently working from home (thankful to still have my job) and it’s stressful plus the hubby is now unemployed. I used to run and be way more active but now can’t seem to be motivated to do anything. We take walks as a family as the weather permits but since we live in a big city, social distancing sometimes forces us just to stay home. I have an elliptical, two sets of free weights and a couple kettlebells so again, no excuse not to exercise but I just can’t ever seem to get around to it. Looking for some friends to help get me off my butt!!

    I'm very similar to you. I have a 6 month old and a 5 year old. I have eight more pounds to lose plus another 10 lbs from the first baby. I work out 4 days a week and have started tracking my calories again. I am 5 7 and currently 163 pounds. I would love to get down to 145 my pre-baby weight. We can do this. What action steps are you taking?
