I havent really come across any people who were commited to this site and who are supportive. I had lost about 30 lbs with the help of this site before having my son, who is was born by csection 11 days ago. :-) Beautiful little boy who weighed 8 lbs 10 oz. :-) I know that i cant start working out for about 4 1/2 more weeks, but i want to be "armed" with many great friends on here so that we can support eachother all the time. My weight loss goal is 46 pounds... so I know this will be a journey, epecially with a newborn. But I am determined and hope to meet more people who are as well. Please add me if any of you feel the same way! Good luck to all of us!! :-) And thank you all in advance.

    I had two c-sections. Please, go slow. Although you can technically work out in 4.5 weeks, your muscles in your ab area have been through the ringer! Take it slow and REALLY listen to your body!

    Congratulations on the birth of your new little son, little boys are such a joy, I have two sons and two grandsons one who is just 11 days old today born on the 31st May.

    You may not be able to workout BUT you can go walking with you beautiful baby and that is great exercise, that does not mean you overdo it but if the weather is nice put him in his pram and walk.

    Good luck with your weightloss and you can add me if you like!!

    I'm 47 pounds away from my goal, I've already lost 68, and I've also had a c-section. A beautiful 9 lb 9 oz, 22 inch long baby boy, who is now a 33 pound 3' 2" tall almost 2 year old toddler. LOL :laugh:
    I log in everyday, today marks 105 days for me, since I had a tonsillectomy around the end of February, gained 10 pounds, and I had to restart in the beginning of March. Have been going since, and already got those 10 pounds off and then some extra! Feel free to add me. (:

    Hi there! I've had 2 csects too. My newest baby is now 12 weeks, I started tracking food a month ago and started working out a week or so ago. I log on every day and am addicted to watching my calories and cardio, although also watching to make sure I produce enough milk. Feel free to add me and we can root each other on.

    i had a csection exactly 5 months ago today with my son! i've lost 86 lbs since his birth & still going! i have been trying to find people that understand my exact situation (having a csection & getting your tummy back to normal is A LOT harder than if you haven't had one!) so feel free to add me :) i am very supportive & try my best to motivate all of my friends as much as i can!
