    Lucky you, that's not a whole lot! I was 182 after pregnancy, my pre-preggo weight was 135. I suggest joining the group Mom Bellies if you'd like to meet others like us! :D

    hi I have 2 kids (5, 3) aswell and have been trying to lose the baby weight for around 2 years. I have steadily crept up to 174 pounds and want to lose around 30lbs too,

    Hopefully this website will help me do it, 2012 is the year

    Thank you everyone for making me feel so welcome. When I met my husband I was about 98 lbs but after our last baby I just maintained around 140 so I want to be around 110 I feel that's a fairly good weight. I'm just hoping that with more than just my husband for support i'll make it this time! I know my kids are excited for me too though.
