I am a mom of 2 and they were back to back....never really had time to lose the baby weight from the first one......They are now 2 and 1 yr old and I am 10lbs less than what I was when I got pregnant with my first.........but like a a lot of us I AM STILL OVER WEIGHT (Or obese according to my BMI) I need to hear/see some success stories.........I need some motivation. I was able to buy a smaller size bathing suit ( a large from a 2x or 1x) but after looking at pics that hubby took I HATE HOW I LOOK IN IT. Please help!! Thanks

    I'm a shorty too. I keeps telling myself that because weight gain shows faster on me that weight loss will show faster as well. My goal is 40-50 pounds and I am really hoping I can get as close to this as possible and create some really healthy eating and lifestyle changes because my husband and I want to start trying for baby number two in November. I lost the baby weight and an extra 20 pretty quickly, but gained 10 when I went back to work. Add me as a friend if you want and we can motivate each other and maybe come up with some ideas of how to stay active and focused with little ones around ;)

    I'm way short, but I never like the way I look. I always see me being built like a Umpa. You are beautiful...and Kelvin took pictures of me in my swimsuit yesterday also, and it made me sick. I thought I was makeing real ground, but I have fat & sagging going on. Yuck!!!
