I have been using MFP for 3 weeks now but this is my first fime in the forums Hello! Well......I just had baby number 2 about 3 months ago and need to get this weight plus the weight from baby #1 off. My ultimate goal is to be healthy for my family and myself, and to be as confident as I was when my hubby and I first met. I also want to run a 5K-8K. That has always been a dream of mine.

I have strong will power except when it come to chocolate, cheesecake, and those Starbucks Mocha Frappacino drinks you can by in the glass bottles. Yum! I had lost 3 lbs in the first 2 weeks but we had friends and family visit this past week and lets just say there was a lot of the above stated goodies as well as shrimp, salmon, and bread. Sigh! UGH.....cannot do that again!!!

I am super excited about this new journey! And as the Subject of this thread states.......It is my turn-for me! Thank you!

    Hello! You sound like me! :) I had baby 2 ten months ago and still trying to lose that and the weight from baby 1. I ran a 5K before my 2nd pregnancy and LOVED it...I'm wishing to be back into it again!!! Friend me and we'll help reach that goal! :)

    Welcome, and congrats on your new addition! With my first baby, I got the weight off before he turned one...with my second, um...still have it, lol...she'll be 7 this year. Shh, I still call it baby weight :blushing: :bigsmile: No really, it's because I put myself on the back burner and was lazy in trying to get the weight off. Now my head is back in the game and I'm on my way!

    Best wishes on your weight loss journey!!

    Nice to meet you! Yeah... I still call it my 5 year old baby weight...lol. I put myself on the back burner to care for my family and my job. But I cannot be truly successful at either without first taking care of myself. Game on!
