Hi! Im pretty new to MFP and need some friends to help keep me in check :)

Im 32 years old, height 5'3", weigh 175 (ish) and am trying to get close to my pre-pregnancy weight and lose about 50 (ish) pounds. I had 2 babies back to back, so I have double the baby weight (yikes) LOL

I would be ecstatic to be 120, even though that's a bit heavier than I was 5 years ago.

Please add me!! :):)

    Hi! Your story is so similar to mine.

    I am 37, 5'3", was 126 pre-pregancy, 184 pre birth (eeeeek!), 161 post birth and now I'm 123, so the lightest I have been for years, probably since my early 20s.

    I am proof it can be done, so if you want a motivating friend who has done what you want to do, then add me :)

    I am in the same boat. I am 5'6 and weigh 200 lbs. Before I had kids I weighed 130 lbs. Never in my life did I ever think I would be this heavy. I got pregnant with my second son when my oldest was 18 months so I didn't have a lot of time to lose weight from the first. And then everything got out of control when I was pregnant with my second son. They are 5 and 3 now so I can't really use that as an excuse, so I am determined to do this!
