Hi all :)
I'm a working mom of 5 kids.

After each baby, I worked hard to lose the weight and on the whole was successful!
But losing it after this fifth baby is proving to be more challenging...

I currently weigh 205 lbs and I'm only 5'2". I've never weighed this much not pregnant!

I started doing what I did to lose the baby weight in the past – eating around 1450 calories and exercising 3x/week. But I find I am so hungry all the time! I didn't have that problem before. So I'm increasing my calorie goal to 1700 for now and seeing how that goes.

Any other moms in the same boat as me?

    Hi I'm 35 and a mum of a 12 year old. Just started and I'd love to be friends. Everyone needs a bit of moral support.
