  • Hi, I'm Lindsy... I'm a 23 yr old mother of 1. I live in south florida.

    My baby boy was born June 19th 2008, and I'm looking for support to lose the stubborn baby weight. I'm an internet junkie, so when I'm not doing the whole mom thing, this is where you'll find me.

    My mom told me about this website, and she is using the MRC diet (successfully), so, I hope to start that soon as well.

    I tried to post pictures, but it wouldn't let me....
  • Welcome and congrats on your new addition! I've just started on this site myself (yesterday!), but so far love it. Lot's of great people on it.
  • Thanks for the welcome! Its hard getting into new message boards... Always kinda feel like I'm intruding or something...

    Anyhow, you picture is goregous!!!
  • Wow, you are a lot more motivated than I was. I didn't try to lose weight until my bambino was 9 months old. I wish you the willpower to avoid the sugar cookies with butter frosting and large Pizza Hut pepperoni 8.99 pizzas that I couldn't!
  • Welcome and Good Luck on the Baby fat!
  • I didn't even start trying to loose weight until my son was 1! HA! I was in a deep depression for a while there and getting out of that one was very hard for me.

    Welcome! And congrats on your baby! They really are a joy to have and they honestly grow so fast!
  • Oh, and, I forgot.

    The best diet plan that I have seen out there isn't really a diet plan. As long as you work out a little everyday, and eat 6 or 7 small meals instead of 3 big meals will help. As long as they are healthy choices and not junk.

    Thanks...

    I dont think its really motivation though, I'm pretty depressed about how big I've gotten, so - its more disgust thats driving me....

    I figure I had better start now, or I'll need a crane to get out of bed.... LOL!

    I have PPD as well, so being overwieght really isn't helping either.

    And thank you, I think I would enjoy him much more if it weren't for the PPD.

  • I, too, am trying to lose the baby weight. My daughter is 9 months and she is my second. It's been hard and I am hoping to meet people who are working hard too. Thanks for your post!
