Recently had 2 babies!

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I live in Honolulu, and I recently had 2 babies, 13 months apart, so needless to say, I packed on a few pounds.... or 50! *blush* The day my water broke with my son I weighed in at 231 pounds... this morning, almost 3 months later I'm at 183 pounds! After having him my weight leveled out around 205 pounds which is when I started to diet. My goal is 160... my husband said I can buy a whole new wardrobe! If I reach 150, he'll take me to Vegas. Woot woot!

Anyway, hello! :)

    Mine are 15 months apart! I feel the pain of this lol. I gained 60 with my first, I actually lost 5 having my 2nd, but I gained a lot when she was 3 months or so for personal reasons.

    I had my last 2 kiddos exactly 12 months & 1 day apart. So I know exactly what you mean about the extra weight. I delivered my daughter 2/22/08 and found out 3 months later I was preggers with my boy and delivered him 2/23/09:) You would think as busy as all 4 of my kiddos keep me that the weight would have melted off....WRONG! My youngest is now 3 and I am STILL 13 pounds away from my goal. But I am getting there! Good luck to you girl and congrats on making the decision to be healthy!!

    We had our son 2 years ago. Bad part is my wife lost the weight she gained. I apparently gained the same amount and decided to keep it on.
    Now our son is 2 and I am dropping the weight. I want to be a good example for him. Plus since we are talking about number two I can not afford to gain more weight. hahaha
