Hi Everyone!

I am new here, looking for some support in my weight loss journey. I am a stay at home mom to two boys, ages 2 and 2 months. Before I got pregnant with my second, I started counting my calories and lost about 30 lbs. I didn't gain anything in my pregnancy until the very end...and then I gained about 30. I would like to calorie count again, since it seemed to work for me. I have two lovely kids that need their mommy to be alive and healthy, so it is time to do something!

and Calorie Counters!!

WELCOME! we're glad you're here, please post often.

Welcome I am trying to lose after my first. I only gained 10lbs from my pregnancy but for some reason blew up another 20 within 2 weeks after I am down 16lbs But i need to lose alot more then that to be healthy
good luck!!!! calorie counting is the best thing for me as well

Hi there! I am still new to the site myself, but so far its helping to keep me on track, Good luck to you and Welcome.

You can do it! LOL, I only have one 7 month old and lets just say that I gained "too much" weight while pregnant. This site is very motivating and there is so much support! Go for it!

Hi welcome! I am also doing the calorie thing. I tried atkins for about a week, and decided it wasn't worth it. The only way I've ever lost was to count the calories and exercise. I had my 4th baby 8 months ago, so I too am trying to lose that pregnancy weight, and the one before that one,...and the one before that one....you get the idea!!!

Hi, I am real new here. I have been surfing through all the threads, and am now real confused. There is a lot here!! Not sure I'll ever find my way back to this post even. I am a christian mom of 4 great kids, trying to lose weight for the umpteenth time. Is that really how you spell that:anyway, I am looking for some support, I am trying the Wendie plan, still, after all these years, the hardest thing I find is cooking for a family. I love veggies, would probably be somewhat of a vegetarian if I were single, but alas, I have family, and really don't want to cook them something, then something else for me. Even as I type this, it doesn't sound hard, but when I go to actually plan a meal, I draw a blank. Does anyone have any suggestions or resources. Thanks so much, and I look forward to hopefully finding this post again.
