    My youngest is 6 months old and Im just now being able to start losing weight,. I gained alot of stress weight when I went back to work(money for daycare for four kids, the daycare not doing what they should, my job, newborn, etc.) I am 5'6'' and my goal weight is 170. Right now I am at 233. :cry:

    Dieting is hard bc I mainly work with skinny girls and they are always eating out and then it is hard to not eat what I cook for my kids.

    It may not be easy but we can all do what we set our mind too!

    Hi there ladies! I am pregnant now and trying not to gain too much too fast. I have already put on 10 lbs at 15 weeks, yikes! Hopefully joining here will help me keep in within reasonable parameters this time. This is my third baby, and I gained over 100 lbs with the first 2. I did lose it, so I know it can be accomplished!

    1st baby, 3 weeks postpartum have lost 25 of the 43lbs I gained. Am having a huge issue with all the weight I gained and this flabby belly I'm left with. Am trying to pump so I still need to keep up the extra calories. Any thoughts or suggestions or on average how long does it take to get somewhat back to normal?

    HI! I am 8months post baby and I am trying to finally get serious now! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE! Gained about 50.. lost just over 30.. still want to loose about 15.... give or take. I was at my skinniest when I got pregnant because it was 4 months after my wedding and I had just lost some weight for that. I am being realistic with my goal now.. but I'm trying to be serious!!

    I started the 30 day shred level 1 tonight.. ouch.

    Hey Feel free to add me as well. I just had my first son in aug 2011. I lost the weight but got on the depo shot and between that and stress I reached up to 204. I'm down to 186.5 ultimate goal to be around 140-150.

    I'm pregnant, 19 weeks with my second baby. I never lost the weight from the first, so I'm struggling this time and feeling anxious about gaining too much. I have gestational diabetes which I've been able to control this time with diet, but it's still SO hard! I've heard so many negative comments from people that should just not talk to pregnant women like that, but oh well! I must try and keep healthy. Which is why I'm on here. :) So any tips are great, and feel free to add me.
    Thanks!

    Hi everyone! I just had a baby in early April. It is my 2nd in less than 2 years and didn't feel like I had lost the weight of my 1st before I was pregnant again! Before I got pregnant the first time, I was 133 lbs. I gained 65lbs!!! I was able to lose 55 lbs before I got pregnant again. It took me 8 months. Then I gained 40 lbs and now am 18 lbs from my goal weight. Would love to connect with other mommy's who are trying to get their old bodies back. Thanks!
