Hey!
I am new to MFP. I have a beautiful 11 week old baby girl, Isabella Grace, who has changed my life and body! ;-) I want to lose at least 50 lbs, maybe more. I'd love to find some friends on here that are going through something similar, OR people who are in their 20s or 30s or 40s... :) with similar goals. Please add me as a friend or message me!

Thanks and good luck to all of you!

Kristi

    Congrats on your sweet baby!! :) Congrats on your impressive weight loss as well. :) Thanks for the encouragement. I knew having a baby would change my life--but I didn't know how much and how much my body would change as well. It's depressing at times. Especially thinking I let myself get this bad. LOL. Pre-pregnancy I have always been athletic and active, but listening to some ignorant advice--I stopped exercising about 12 weeks into my pregnancy. :( Anywhos, it is what it is. Gotta start somewhere.

    I'm a mama of three. Audrey is 3 1/2, Harrison is 2, Vivienne is 5 months. I only gained 15 pounds with my last pregnancy and in the first 6 weeks I lost 30. I was so excited for that extra 15 pounds! I've been breastfeeding, so I haven't been trying to lose weight. But, I've almost got enough milk stored in the freezer to last my baby 6 months, and when I do, I'll be back to losing.

    If you're breastfeeding, I want to caution you against cutting your calories. Your body needs all the nutrition it can get because what you eat feeds two people. Your growing baby needs even more from you than when you were pregnant.

    Congrats to you on your amazing weight loss. I had my heart on breastfeeding... and I did so for the first 6 weeks, but my little one had other ideas. She refused to breastfeed and after weeks of lactation support groups and counselors, I had to start pumping. I did this for a while, and had tons of milk (6-7 ounces at one time from one breast) but since she wouldn't breastfeed, my supply wasn't as much and she would never let me put her down to pump--she'd scream the entire time until she started choking. :( So, I've had to stop which was heart-breaking to me. :( Thank you for your encouragement.
