We all know it's hard to lose wight after having children, looking for some other moms to relate to to add to my friends on mfp :) I am fairly new to the site and haven't used it very much yet. Not really very fun to log into if you don't have friends to motivate you ya know? When I joined this site my baby was only about 4 or 5 months old...I had lost all of my baby weight while breastfeeding, plus some 5 or 10 lbs totaling 30 to 35 lbs lost..I was almost down to my goal weight! since stopping breastfeeding when my son was 6 months old I have gained 12 lbs back! I really wanna lose this! I have three children ages 7, 3 1/2, and 1.

    Hi! My daughter is 3, and I gained back 20 pounds of the 40 I'd lost (through WW) before getting pregnant. The really frustrating thing was that I kept the weight off throughout the pregnancy, and even lost a little more while on maternity leave from work, but used the stress of going back to work while still breastfeeding as a "reason" for eating well beyond reasonable calories.

    Anyway, it's been 3 years since then, and those 20 pounds I gained back are still with me. I need to lose those 20 plus another 20 to get to a weight that is considered "healthy" for my frame.

    I sure could use the support from other moms of young kids, as I know we all deal with a lack of time to ourselves - when on earth am I supposed to get exercise in, when I can barely squeeze in a shower!? Creativity is going to be key to including fitness in my weight loss plan...

    Please add me too. I am in the same situation. I was overweight before getting pregnant. I had finally started losing when I got pregnant. I’m at my heaviest now, and my son is turning 1 next month. I also need that extra motivation to log on.

    My son is 14 months. I lost ALL the baby weight almost immediately after having him. About 5 months later starting rapidly gaining weight back. I'm now almost 30lbs heavier (heavier than when I gave birth). I am a very picky eater, so this is going to be a long road to get adjusted to being HEALTHY. Its so hard to make time to exercise when you have 2 young kids, a full time job, and a house to take care of! Trying really hard to make this change but definitely need some motivation and support!

    I am a mommy too! My daughter is 7, and while I lost all the weight plus some, I gained it all back, plus a bit. I weigh more now, than right after I delivered her. But I am working hard at losing it. So feel free to add me :-)

    Hello there! I am the mommy of three children ages 10, 7 and 4. After the first 2 births I was able to pretty much get back to where I started. After the third, it wasn't so easy. Its been a struggle to lose the last 10-12 lbs and of course they are all sitting right on my belly. I decided now is the time to get back to me. Feel free to add me, anyone! I love to motivate others and of course I need some motivation sometimes too.
