Hey everyone! I'm looking for other moms out there trying to lose the baby weight and tone up. I'm 20 years old, and my son is 19 months old. I am trying to lose the last 20-30 lbs and tone up.

We can support and motivate each other! =)

    I sent you a friend request! Wow twins! =) I gained about 45 lbs during my pregnancy. It is hard work losing the weight, but very much possible! What kind of exercise are you doing?

    I do it all..well i am in the gym but my fav exercise is Zumba. Today is my Zumba class day and I am super excited. I just started Jillian Micheals 30 day shred its cool..I'm just on level 1, moderate circuit training. This week I've officially started hell week, 2 a day exercises and 1200 cal diet, my agressive weightloss goal is 5lbs! I know this is truly a hard battle but I intend on winning the war and surely appreciate supportive soildiers such as yourself on my side! :)
  • I've been wanting to try Zumba! I have been doing TurboFire for the past month. LOVE it! I have attempted the shred a couple times... pretty intense! A lot of ppl have gotten great results with it. Glad to have a new buddy for our weight loss journey!

    HEY LADIES!!! I'd love to join. I'm 30 and had my daughter almost 10 months ago. I have about 15 lbs to lose. I gained 30 lbs in total....lost 20 lbs then once I stopped breastfeeding I lost control and gained more back......I am finding it hard to find time to work out....but it's totally my own excuses!hahaha...I am back to work so i get up at 5:30, get ready for work, my daughter is up by 6 and then her and I play from 6 to 6:30 (which i could totally be working out) but since I'm away all day, seeing her in the morning just makes my day!!! hahaha..then I'm home by 5:30 we have dinner and do family time and she's asleep by 7:30...i KNOW I can work out at this point...I'm lazy and dont! hahaha....My only exercise i get right now is when I commute. I have to walk 15 min to my office from the train and 15 min back at night....I hate that I know I am just being lazy...hahaha....I need to be acountable!!!
  • Hey chulie! Sent you a friend request! Maybe you could get up maybe 30 mins early to work out and go to bed a little earlier or something. =) One major thing that helped me with my exercise was finding a workout that I actually liked. I started out doing Turbo Jam and loved it. Now I'm addicted to TurboFire. But the most important thing is knowing that YOU CAN DO IT! And that's what we're here for.. to hold each other accountable and support each other!
  • Hey I'm 23 and my daughter will be 3 in may. I would love to blame her for the lbs I need to lose but thanks to nursing I was under my pre-preggo weight(a gross 108 I thought I looked sick) by her 6 month check up. I put this extra 35lbs within the last year when she found fast food and we started doing treat projects together. Add me if you would like, I'm a little lost as a first time dieter but maybe we can help each other out.
  • 11 lbs so far? You're doing great!

    We are similar in age =D
  • I've got a 5 monyh old son 2 yr old daughter! Just started my weight loss journey on January 2nd & my stomach has already lost inches! I need a few friends too:)

    Hey everyone! I suck at posting on the boards, but if you accept my friend request I'll comment on your newsfeed stuff! :) I have 2 little girls, 3 and 2 years old. I gained 50lbs. with each of them, but only had 4 months inbetween pregnancies, so I didn't lose much of the first 50 before I gained the 2nd!

    But... I lost all that a while ago, and now I'm working on losing weight I've pretty much always had. I LOVE Zumba! I've been doing it for about 6 months and I'm getting certified to be an instructor next week! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!

    2 kids here and about 60lbs to lose!! It has been really hard for me because I LOVE food!! It is really hard for me to discipline myself to actually cut back and watch my portions!! My 30th birthday is in 5 months and I decided I wanted to be fit and in shape by then!! It hit me hard thinking that I am turning 30 and I look the way I do! I should have done this a long time ago, but was lazy! I am changing my lifestyle and plan to kick this in the butt!! I started going to the gym this last Monday and cutting back on my calories and I have already lost 1lb! I know it's not a lot, but as long as they keep coming off I will be happy!! Gotta ring in my 30's with a bang right?! I have been doing cardio and Zumba which I absolutely love, and then when the kids go to bed I pop in a P90X dvd and wear myself out!! It has been easier sleeping and I actually go to bed at a decent time because I am exhausted!! Good Luck to all you Mommies!! Glad we can all have a common goal and be able to be here for each other!! :)
  • Hi ladies! I would love to join!

    I just had my second child about 9 months ago. It's definitely been harder the second time around plus two C-sections. Ugh. I have about 10 lbs to go. . .

    After my first child, I not only lost all the baby weight within one year but I was SKINNIER than my prepregnancy weight but I worked really hard.

    My husband is currently deployed so my goal is to lose those last 10 lbs by the end of march. I really need more of a TONE up on the stomach. Anyone have any issues with the second C-section? My stomach is really awful and would love any advice!

    I'm 24 with an almost 3 yo & and an 1.5 yo. My pre-pregnancy weight was about 145 (wasn't working out) and I'm currently at 160. Since starting back in January I've lost 8lbs. I want to get back down to at least 145, and maybe smaller since I'm taking the exercise approach this time....Anyone have any workout suggestions? I'm currently doing a calisthenic based workout DVD 3x a week and walking/jogging approx 3x a week. But in all honesty I'm getting a little bored...I'm curious to try either P90X or Insanity?

    P90X is great!! Really hard, but fabulous!! I like the mixture it gives you so you aren't doing the same thing over and over!! I haven't tried Insanity, but know many people who have and love it!!
  • Another mom here too. Only difference is that I'm almost twice your age! (faint) I will be 40 next month and have 3 kids. My girls (ages 8 and 9) are 16 months apart. I gained a ton with the first pregnancy and didn't lose much before getting pregnant again. I then lost about 60 lbs prior to my having my son (age 3) who is almost 5 years younger than my middle. I gained all the weight back and have been wanting to lose it ever since. I have lost and gained about 30 since he was born but am now at my heaviest ever. It sucks.

    No more kids for me so I can't use that excuse any longer ;) We've got tons of commitments with the kids so I'm always on the run and my "me" time is very limited especially given the fact that my husband travels extensively for a living. I've got the exercise equipment at home so no excuses... I just need to find the energy to use them.

    We can do this!
  • Hey everyone I'm 23 a mom of an almost 2 year old. I'm still trying to get to my pre baby weight. I started in December changing my eating habits and lost 6lbs but now I'm exercising and watching what I eat having trouble losing anymore. I'm stuck at 172 and want to get to the 160's by my sister's wedding on February 25!

    It's great to know other moms are struggle to lose baby weight too!

    1 kid who's now 1 year old and 20+ lbs to lose. I've been a yoyo with my weight and am hoping to get on track. I'm an aspiring vegetarian hoping to one day take the leap to full vegan. Im a stay at home mommy who travels often so healthy eating has been quite a challenge. 8o) Would love some friends to motivate and have them do the same!
  • You've done a great job on the 45 lbs already! Good job! I added you!

    Hey,
    You can add me if you'd like. I'm 25 and my son is 10 months. :)
  • Hi! New mom to a 7 month old daughter. I'm struggling to lose this baby weight and breast feeding seems to make it even more difficult. If I work out too much or alter my calorie intake too much it affects my milk supply. Ugh. I'm super frustrated and need all the support I can get :)

    Everyone feel free to add me!! It's nice to know there are so many moms on here going through the same thing. Lots of support on here and it's great!

    My son just turned 3 so I'm getting pretty good at this Mom thing. Anyone can add me. I'm 29 and I am slowing working to get as much of this excess weight off by the time I turn 30. Running after a very active 3 year old boy helps, but it just has not been enough.

    Hi there and welcome! I have an 8 year old son, a 5 year old daughter, and a 14 month old son. I am working at weaning the youngest, and we are only nursing at night now. I have been using MFP since May now, and am really happy with the results i have gotten so far. I have learned so much about myself, and what healthy means for me. I hope that you find the same for yourself! I am always glad to have a new friend if you would like to add me in.
  • I'm 21 and I have a 19 month old daughter I'm trying to lose 50-55 pounds! I gained 47 pounds during my pregnanct and I want to be 20 pounds lighter then my pre pregnancy weight

    Hello everyone,

    Im a mommie of two beautiful girls. Im 30 years old and have been married to my wonderful husband for 6 years. I'm afraid I have fallen into a slump and have not really cared about myself. I feel like I take excellant care of EVERYONE in my family EXCEPT myself!!! Im a stay at home mom right now but I have worked besides the time I have been in college. I love my babies but I put on a huge amount of weight not during my pregnancies but after when I refused to stop eating like I was pregnant....lol Now I need help I have about 60lbs to lose. Im so ashamed because this is the heaviest I have ever been. I have always been an athletic person and played sports all my life. I ready to get that back & Im looking for friends for support!!!!:happy:

    Hey Pinkstarr.....i hear ya...it was hard for me to juggling keeping up healthy calories and breastfeeding because even the smallest change and my milk would plummet....but, when I stopped breastfeeding that's when I gained my weight back! I didnt realize how many calories I really was burning!!!!!

    I think I have found something to kick start my exercise. The biggest loser for Kinect!!!! I tried it last night. It is so.much.fun!!!!!!!! and I was sweating like a crazy person after!!!! holy moly!!! i think I can do this once my baby girl goes to bed. Even at 25 minutes I felt like I got a good workout in! yaaaa...plus I'm gonna go for a walk at lunch today....your right...it's all about finding the time! NO EXCUSES!
