Hi Ladies!
I'm pretty new to MFP and looking for other motivated moms who want to encourage each other while trying to loose weight. I have two beautiful children, a son who is 2 years old and a daughter who is 10 months. I enjoy working out when ever I can find time and I'm sure I would loose weight if my sweet husband wasn't constantly buying ice cream (i mean come on, who can say no to Breyers Mint Chocolate Chip?!?). Hopefully with the use of tracking calories I can start saying no to the ice cream and hello to my dream weight. I lost 50 lbs after having my son and I have 20-30lbs left to reach my goal weight. I figure that is only half of what I did before so it should be no sweat = )

    SweettoothBar, check out Denise Austins Fit and Firm Pregnancy DVD. I love this workout. It has a post preggo section and different levels for the different trimesters.

    Feel free to add me everyone! I lost 50 lbs in 2010, with 50 more to go. Then I got pregnant and gained 50 and am back where I started! I'm breastfeeding too, and I seem to be one of those people who hold on to weight instead of dropping it when BFing! MFP is helping a lot though!!

    Friend me! Like you, my husband loves to snack and keeps treats in the house at all times. I gained 39 lbs during my pregnancy and am trying to work off the last 15- or go smaller than I was pre-pregnancy. I'm determined to make it to the beach before the summer is over. Let's motivate eachother.

    Lets do this!

    We both need some mommy motivation.

    My daughter is 1 month and my son is 17 months.

    I lost 50lbs with my son then I got pregnant and gained all back :(

    I have 30 lbs to go...again

    Sjeanify- my son and daughter are 16 months apart too and the same thing happened to me. Lost all the weight from my sons pregnancy only to get pregnant with my daughter haha. It's very tough in the beginning but it gets easier and now my kids love playing together = )

    I'd be happy to have more friends! :) My little guy is going to be 3 months on Thursday. :) I also have 3 other kiddos. I'm less than 5 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight, and then I have another 10-15 to lose after that. :)

    me! I just had a baby 6 weeks ago and I am ready to start losing the pounds. I had just lost 60lbs with MFP before getting pregnant and I am a little discouraged to start over again and need some support

    I'm struggling to lose the weight I wanted to lose before my son was born 6 years ago... I was down about 25lbs when I got pregnant with my twin boys! Now, they are 7 mos old and I have 20-25lbs still to go! :)
