    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.....

    Hi, I'm a mom of three also. I wish I was a workout rat, but I'm gonna try. I'm totally a stress eater which is why I'm here. Today is my first day, so I'm still trying to learn everything.

    Does it count if the "baby weight" you're trying to lose is from kids who are now 12 and 15? I also love knitting and indie music, and know I should do yoga (I am extremely inflexible, muscle-wise). I just started here a little while ago and was bummed this morning to weigh myself and be exactly the same as last time I weighed myself (so, I guess my little meter is still stalled out at "2 lbs lost" for now).

    Finding MFP has been a huge benefit to me, kickstarting my fitness/healthy eating program. I wish you all the best with your goals!

    Hi all! I am 32 and a mom of three kids. Matt (9.5 yrs), Sarah (almost 5) and David Jr (2 next month). I had gained about 30 lbs before I had my first child due to Paxil. I went from 140 to 170ish. I gained and lost all the weight from my first. I did about the same with the second...but the third stuck. However I know it isn't all baby weight...a lot is in my belly. I am currently 254, but hope to be about 140 again. At this point I would be happy just to be under 200!

    I never got back to my prepregnancy weight after my first child, and 2.5 years later, I am still carrying the "baby weight" from my second. This is going to be a long and tough road, but I am ready! Just got to keep working! Please add me to your friend list. I appreciate the support!

    I'm a mom as well. I have a 10 year old son....can't blame it on my "baby weight gain" when he's freakin 10! I weighed less after I had him than I do now. I gained about 30 lbs over the past 2.5 years.....stress...or whatever you want to call it. I gained weight from eating too much....eating out too much let me add....and not being active. I'm new on MFP for about a year...but am now just taking it seriously since the new year and have been on every single day. I got my dieting down already and has lost 5 lbs since...today I will start excercise. Please add me because I would love the motivation from you to start working out. Thanks!!!

    Insanity workout anyone??? I'm scared....lol

    Hey, I'm a mom of an almost 5 year old boy. I never had a problem with weight, until after I gave birth to him. Now I seem to gain weight so easy!
