Hi, I am new to MFP, my cousin told me about it as she has lost around 30lbs (I think) and looks great. I had a baby 2 months ago and now want to lose around 30lbs (only some of this was baby weight, I was overweight before I got pregnant. Have pretty much failed at any diet I've been on so do need to make life changes now to feel better about myself. If anyone else out there is a newbie and wants a weight loss friend then feel free to add me :smile:

    Congrats on your decision to get healthy! I was a member of MFP a couple of years ago and lost over 50 lbs in little over 6 months. It works! I stopped coming to the website and logging my calories and I gained it all back plus some. This is a wonderful resource. Have a great day, and remember that this is not a miracle diet. It takes hard work and support for the MFP community for this to work. Keep at it! You can do this!

    Give yourself some time! Just are still recovering from birth - but you are very inspiring trying to get back in to shape sooo quickly. I have a 8 month old who I've held on to for the past 8 months and I have gained weight - AFTER the baby. Just being at home all day and my husband works nights - has left me eating bad and laying around due to lack of sleep. I have about 20 to lose (I could do 10 more, but I haven't been at that weight since high school) and have just started at a 24 hour gym. I think your journey is similar to mine. Good luck! Just remember how good it can feel to put on clothes and go somewhere without having to feel self conscious......I can't wait.....:)
