Hi!
I recently had a beautiful baby girl three months ago. After finally getting her on schedule, I'm looking forward to having some extra energy for myself (along with my three year old!). I would love to connect with other new moms, with first or subsequent children that are looking for some extra motivation and support. I have a wedding coming up in August and would love to be down to goal weight by then. That's about 15 pounds. I know from past experience with weight watchers (I lost 50 pounds before having my first child) that group support is key!
please join me on my journey and share your own!!
Here are my stats....
Age: 30
Weight: 155
Goal: 140-145

I'm not a new mom, but I'm new to MFP and a mom - does that count?
I have two kids - my little girl will be 3 on Thursday, and my littly boy is 16 months.
I, too, have a wedding coming up this summer (at the end of June) and while I know I won't be reaching my goal weight by then, I'd at least like to be on way towards it.

Thank you
I started at 249lbs and am now 214lbs. I started when my son was about 3 or 4 months old if I recall, so thats been about a year to lose 35lbs. I lost more, took time away from MFP and put some back on so this site really is good since I've been back I've begun to lose again

Haha! Run in place for 5 minutes and then you can have the whole glass It'll get easier. I've been on it for 10 days, and have really loved it so far.0 -
I am a semi-new mom, my daugher is 18 months and I'm still struggling to lose the weight I gained with her and then even more. It's so hard for me to find time (my schedule has me at work 9:30-6 M-F) then being a single mom it's harder to have a structured work out routine with no babysitter.0

Hehe well earlier I realised I only had 60kcals left for dinner!!! so I gained did 20 minutes workout and now have about 300kcals left for the day and Im not hungry any more! going to try and have some chicken though because don't want to be too much under0
