    Hi Kristy!!
    My name is Val. I have a 6 month old son and he was my first. He weighed in at 10lbs 11oz at birth and this momma gained 71lbs during the pregnancy! Ouch! I am down 21lbs but looking to lose the last 50 and possibly 10 more but I would be happy with losing 50. Congrats on being down 23lbs! That's a great accomplishment momma! I am a stress eater as well. I wish I was like my husband. When he is stressed he can't eat for days!!

    hello I am a mom of two teens and a 9yr old. The last couple of months i put on a few pounds. I was 30 or so pounds lighter in the fall of 2009, and I gained about 30 lbs since then and now I would like to have it that and more gone. I would love to have some more motivators, you may add me as well, and I hope that I will be able to cheer you on also:happy:

    Hello, I have an 8 yr old girl and 2 year old boy. I never lost the baby weight between the first and second and have been at least 50 pounds overweight for the last 9 years. vribaldo, I also had big babies and big weight gains (8yr old was 10# 10oz with 70 pound weight gain, 2yr old came a week early at 9# 6 oz and another 70 pound weight gain).
    I've lost almost 20 pounds since starting MFP, but I haven't been committed. It's easy to walk away when you have no one looking after you and no one to look after. I look forward to getting to know you all!
