I joined 3fc over a year ago, with baby weight in tow. Just when I got the hang of things - we lost our computer, got another just in time to get pregnant [again] and move back home to Texas... so now I'm back and hoping to stay with it this time. I'd love to find buddies or a group to help me stay honest.

I'm Brianna, a 26 yr old, a stay at home mommy to my two boys - 19 mos and 6 wks. Over the course of 2 1/2 years, I'm up 91 pounds. I'm trying to be realistic though; in April '09 will be my 5 year wedding anniversary and that's my ultimate target to be back at pre-babies weight. I'm already down 25 of it, but with '07 creeping up, it doesn't seem like I've got that long left..

It's strangely relieving to get that all out in the open.

Congratulations on the baby! What a blessing they are, but boy do they bring on the pounds for some people. I'm still trying to get off about 20 pounds of baby weight and about 10 pounds that I had gained before getting prego. I've always had to work at maintaining a healthy weight and would always stop myself before I gained more than 10 pounds, so I'm sure finding out how hard it is to lose weight. You have a very doable goal so its just a matter of getting started and sticking with it for the long haul.
