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

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 under 0

Hi!
I have a 9month old and lost 20 lbs since February. I still have 20 more to go, but struggling. Feel free to add me to cheer you on! I need motivation too in this last leg of the journey! 0 -
Hi!! end of day one and it went really well. I love seeing all of the fellow moms out there.
It is so easy to put husbands and children first and it sometimes feels wrong to want to take care of ourselves, but I know it will be better for everyone if I take the time to take proper care of myself. Thanks to all who have added me as a friend! Who knew the community of support was so welcoming to us newbies!!
Have a great night and hope to hear from you tomorrow!!0 -

I'm a new mom. My daughter is now 6 months. I'm also in the military and I haven't ever really worried about my until the baby came. I started at 160 when I got back from a deployment in Afghanistan which was all muscle then I stayed 160 but just lost the muscle.I got pregnant and made it up 206 and now I'm fluttering at 185 to 190. My goal weight is at least 160. I'm 5'6 and 24 yo.
My problems is I never knew it was such a pain to watch what you eat. The normal meals I would eat... I'm now finding out are 2 or 3 times the normal servings. Ugh! My problems is findng the right food and meals to make for my family now.0
