Hi,

I am 25 and just had my first baby and now and having a difficult time losing the extra weight I put on!!! I found this site and its looks really good for tracking my food intake.. Being at home all day with a new bub its easy to eat and forget!! LOL

I look forward to losing the extra 15kgs and hope I can find the support and motivation that this site has : )

Jess : D

    Congratulations on your new baby. I'm still trying to lose weight from my last pregnancy (4 kids in 2 years!) and I tell you its not easy but MFP really helps make you accountable for your choices, mistakes and lets face it.....excuses! I ve been here 2 weeks and lost 9 lbs already and I have zero will power normally. I love this site and the people here are awesome! I'm not aussie but my husband is a sydneysider (North shore boy) so the kids are all half and half! Funny which ones have picked up the aussie accent and which ones haven't! lol. Good luck

    another aussie here (there are loads of us).

    my baby is nearly 3 (3 in jan), and it's taken til now to finally loose the weight.

    I was exercising, but I wasn't watching what I was eating. Snacking was a huge problem for me, as I was snacking/eating the wrong foods.

    But since getting on to MFP it has changed me for the better. Lost 5k, only 7 more to go.

    Feel free to add me if you need more support.
