i'm not "new" per se....well, 20 days in.

looking for mom friends who are trying to lose the baby weight (or lose weight that we call baby weight, but know it was there long before the babies.)

I have three kid lets...Ages 6, 4 and almost 2. I'm a middle school teacher. I love indie music, tattoos, yoga and knitting. I've become a total gym rat. I could spend all day there if time allowed.

You?

Feel free to add me if you plan on being here for the long term and have a positive attitude towards your life long goals.

    Hey! I'm the mom of a 3 year old. I need to loose that "baby weight" too, although I am trying to get pregnant again. Trying to get healthier in the meantime!

    Howdy,

    I am a Mom of a 2 yrs old and seriously trying to lose the 'baby fat' as well. But I have suffered so many setbacks since having Nicolas that I am really frustrated. But one day at a time is all I keep saying to myself.

    I was at about 150 prepregnancy, and now before I started tracking what I ate I was at 197 and I am now down to 192.5 after less than a week of tracking. I am a mommy to a beautiful almost 2 year old little boy. I gained A LOT of weight when I was pregnant and until now didn't know how to go about trying to lose it and had struggled losing weight until now. I say if I can do it anyone can. :) If you would like you can send me an add. I am always looking for other mom's who I can relate to on here. :)

    Hi. I'm a new mom too. I had my little boy on Decemer 1st via c-section. I only gained 15 pounds during my pregnancy. I've only lost 12 pounds so far. Even though I only gained 15 with the pregnancy, I was overweight to begin with. I was a total gym rat and in excellent shape, but when my mom passed away 3 years ago, I stopped working out and taking care of myself. Now I've got a ton of weight to lose. I want to lose weight and get back into shape. In March, my husband and I moved 600 miles away from our friends and family, so I really don't have a lot of support here either, which is why I thought this app would be good for me. Good luck to you!

    Hi! I have a 4 month old son and I'm trying to lose weight from my pregnancy. I gained 70 lbs while pregant. I've lost 30 lbs so far, but have another 40 to go to get back to my pre-baby weight.

    I do have some experience calorie counting. When i was in my mid-20s I was able to go from 220 lbs to 150 lbs. - so I know it works! :)

    Hey there! I'm a mom of a three year old and one year old. Still trying to knock off the baby weight and get in better shape/healthier! I don't have the means to go to the gym, but workout on a daily basis at home. (My three year old likes to workout with me sometimes haha) I always love making new friends on here, so feel free to add me :smile:

    Mom of a 3 year old girl and a nearly 1 year old boy. I didn't gain as much weight with #2 but I was about 205lbs to begin with. I started here in August and have lost 30lbs so far I have about 25 more to go to reach my original goal weight of 150 and then I'll reassess to see if I want to lose more.

    I work full time and exercise daily. It's tough to balance with making sure I spend quality time with my kids but I say happier/healthier mom = happier/healthier family!

    Pregnancy actually helped me lose weight, it was postpartum that killed it for me. I've gained 120 pounds since before the birth of my first child (almost 12 years ago) and it is about time it comes off. Having the twins 9 years ago changed a lot of things, including the way the fat formed on my body (had a c-section). As a single mom of 3, I am determined to do this. My kids encourage me without prejudice and for the first time, I feel like I CAN do it.

    I lost all 25lbs of pregnancy weight, plus another 5! I weighed in at 115 before pregnancy, gained only 10lbs during pregnancy (because I had a preemie at 27 weeks) then put on ANOTHER 10lbs AFTER my son was already born... so I'm down to 110 now. You can do this! Exercise is important but what you put into your body is more important. Your eating habits have to change :) Good luck to you!

    Hi there, I'm a mom of 2 boys ages 6 and 5 months. I went down 22 lbs when nursing but then back up all the way after I stopped. So frustrating. Working hard on getting this off but I battle with daily steroids that keep my weight high. I WILL do this.

    I'm a new mom to an 8 week old. I was overweight to begin (180 when I became pregnant). Heaviest weight was 5 months prior, at 220. I'm over halfway to my goal and always seeking new MFP pals!

    I have 6 kiddos, I carried every single one of them, 5 c-sections. Feel free to add me if you want. I am learning that in order to take care of everyone else, I need to care for myself first. I also need to live by the same ruled I have for my kids for eating. Working on that one. Good luck!!!

    Sending friend request. :) Mom to 4 ages 3-11, and finally successfully losing baby weight the right way. I had them 2-3 years apart, and it took it's toll on my body. With the help of MFP and my friends here, I made my original goal weight, and decided to go for another 10.

    I am a mom. I've had 3 biological kids (one died right after birth). I also have 3 step kids. To really confuse matters, I've had five surrogate babeis (twins, twins, singleton). So yes I have kids and yes I'm trying to lose the weight. I delivered the last surrogate baby 13 months ago and have some definite pudge left. To make matters even more complicated, I am currently taking Lupron and birth control pills in preparation for the next surrogacy cycle. I AM HUNGRY.....
