Hello, I am 22 years old and mother of two little girls. Averie is 3 and Morgan is 9 months old. I ended up getting up to 220 pounds after the combined weight gain of both girls. I want to get back down to my prepregnancy and graduation weight which is 170. I know that that is still "overweight" on the BMI but that is what I was all through highschool and I loved my body then! I like to be a little bit curvy. my main inspirations for getting my but in gear are: keeping up with my girls, feeling attractive for my fiance and so I look good in my wedding dress in October! I joined MFP a couple of weeks ago and have already lost 6 pounds

Hi I'm Jessica I am a stay at home mom to a beautiful baby boy who just turned 7 months. I have been on MFP for a few months now on and off but I am here for real this time and have been actively using MFP for a few weeks now. Since starting MFP I am down 5lbs and I have another 30lbs to go. Overall I am down 60lbs since giving birth and have 5 more to go until I reach prebaby weight again. My husband is currently deployed until August and I want to knock his socks off with all the progress I hope to continue to make. Feel free to add me. TIA

Hi, my name is Jennifer. I'm a first time mom to a three week old. I used MFP to lose weight before I got pregnant and love how manageable it is to use with my busy life. I need to lose 25 pounds to get to my pre-pregnancy weight, but would like to lose 35 total pounds since I was trying to lose those last ten before I got the surprise of my life. I need to get back into the swing of tracking what I eat. I plan to start working out as soon as I get the okay from the doctor in a few weeks. Any advice from moms who have been successful would be greatly appreciated

Hi Ladies! I am kinda new to MFP and so far I am loving it! I have two children, my son is 2 and my daughter is 10 months. They keep me very busy and exhausted but I wouldn't change it for the world. I have always been a tad bit heavier and struggled with my weight, but when I got pregnant with my son, things spiraled out of control as I gained over 50lbs. I found out after he was born that those pounds don't just fall off like I thought they would. So I found myself being a very overweight new mom and full time student who had no clue how to loose all this weight. I didn't start working out til my son was 2 months, but once I did I joined weight watchers since I was nursing to learn about the proper nutrition I needed for myself and my son. I also started doing the p90x program which was a tad bit over my head, but everyday got easier and by the time my son was 7 months old I had lost over 40lbs. I hit a plateau at that point and discovered it was because I was pregnant with my daughter, surprise! I did much better with her pregnancy and have already managed to loose the baby weight, but now it's time to loose the weight that has haunted me for years. After working out and loosing weight for the past two years, I have found a love for health, nutrition, and fitness and have decided I want a career in this field. I love learning new things about nutrition and fitness and love the way it makes my body feel. Right now I struggle with eating a few too many sweets late at night but I'm working on it everyday. I have had a hard time figuring out how many calories to eat while nursing my daughter and with the amount of exercise I do but hopefully I have it figured out. I would love to find more moms so we can all help motivate each other on our journeys so feel free to add me. Good luck to everyone on our weight loss adventure = )
