Hello my name is Britt. I am new here to this. I am wanting to get in shape because 6 months ago I gave birth to an adorable Little Boy. I am now wanting to get into shape so I can be a role model for my son. I am looking for any kind of friends tha would like to talk and give tips on losing weight.

    Hi Britt,
    I started this last fall and got discouraged when I started gaining weight. My advice is to make sure you eat all your exercise calories back. I was working out and staying under my calorie limit and actually put on weight and it pissed me off! I quit over the holidays but have now gotten back on the wagon. I'm going to Hawaii this fall and I want to be thinner and rock a new swimsuit or two. I started a water aerobics class (which I highly recommend if you don't mind a workout but hate to sweat!). My first week back in the groove I lost 1.5 lbs by working out (3 water classes of 55 minutes each) and watching and logging what I put in my mouth. I feel better already and think I can stick to it this time around.

    So ~ welcome and hang in there. It's tough at first but totally worth it when you see the pounds drop off.

    Why do some men pack on weight when babies come?
    I bloated up like a balloon every time.

    Anyway, welcome!
