Hi, I just downloaded the app for my iPhone to help motivate me to lose some baby weight I during my pregnancy. It's been 7 weeks since I've had my baby, so I figured it's time to lose that extra poundage! :)

I'd like to meet people who may or may not be in the same boat so we can motivate each other to work towards our goals! :) Hope to hear from you soon!

    Hi there! My baby just turned 5 months old today. I have 5-10 lbs left of pregnancy weight to lose and then want to lose about 25 more. I have three other kids, ages (almost) 9, 6 and 3. I just started here two weeks ago and can't wait to lose this weight!

    Hi there, mother of three needing to lose about 4 kilos (8.8pounds) Ive lost 10 kilos by using a very simuliar principal but Im finding it very hard to keep motivated because Im sooo CLOSE to my goal weight!!! They say the last few kilos are the hardest! I havent been my goal weight for (shoot, how old is my eldest child?.....) over 9 years I would say! but.. I CAN DO IT! Having other people in the same boat and seeing them lose weight would be really cool! ADD me PLEASE!

    Hi there! My baby will be 8 years old in April. I am finally ready to take off the baby weight. I gained weight with my first child and she is now 12. Then I gained again with my son who is turning 8. Feel free to add as I am always looking for new friends to help motivate and support.

    Good luck. Yay for getting back into fitness so soon after the baby. I just start working out last September. My son was 19 months then.

    Welcome!

    I just joined a few weeks ago. I have a 9yo (well, tomorrow he turns 9!), an almost 6 yo, and a 2 1/2 yo. I have the added issue of having them a little later in life. I was almost 40 when I had my last. It really does make a difference! Anyway, I'd really like to lose about 20 lbs, which puts me under my pre-pregnancy weight from the last one. It has been a MUCH bigger struggle with the 3rd. There's a lot less time to go around and for some reason my work won't let me take an hour a day just to workout! :happy:

    I'll be joining the post-partum group. I could use the support!

    My little girl is 5 now i was heavy when i got pregnant ans heavy after. Of course i thought i looked good until went through a divorce and was looking through old pictures. MY LORD why didnt someone tell me i was a balloon and needed to lose weight and get healthy. I have lost 60 lbs over the last 4 years and kept all but 10 lbs of it off. I am now on a mission to get off the saggy skin all over the place from the weight loss. Good luck on your journey I will add you :)
