Hey mamas! :waving: I have decided to get serious about this weight thing! I would love to have some other mamas to talk to, I know it will keep me motivated. I love the buddy system. I am a stay at home mama to three crazy kids! I am always doing something, and we walk daily, but I really like food! LOL! I would love to be a little thinner before Christmas, just to feel a little better in my clothes ya know. I probably need to lose 15-20 lbs to be on the chart, but who's countin, right? I have a blog where I share my sewing/craft projects, and stories about my everyday life with my babies. I would love for you to have a look The Handmade Dress (http://www.thehandmadedress.blogspot.com) Any other bloggers out there? Nice to meet all you lovely mamas, hope to chat soon.

Hi!

Great decision to get serious about losing weight. Are you counting calories? I found that as soon as I had my baby I went back to my old habits and did not eat enough calories to support weight loss. I saw in another post that you gained 75lbs while preggers, I gained 60 and I was no where near bed rest! My overall weight loss goal is 120-125 and I am currently 145. My Chirstmas goal is 140.

Anywho...I will check out your blog when I have more time, I am on my way out the door.

If you IM, mine is Fligurl2021 on yahoo messenger.

That wasn't me, but I am glad to finally chat with someone! I gained 13 lbs with my first and 20 lbs with my other two. Pregnancy is not my problem, I gain when I am nursing because I stay soooooo hungry!!! I have been walking everyday and watching what I eat. I am not so good at counting calories, it stresses me out and I end up giving up. I do better to just watch what I eat, but it is so hard! I have done pretty good today, I hope I can hold out for a while, I burn out pretty quick!!
