Hi, my name is Kasey. I am a single mommy to one little boy (2) and another one on the way.. due the end of May.
Now, I am 5'2", and right now I weigh 240 pounds. I know about 30 of it is babyweight but I was just wondering if you ladies would be okay with me joining this board after I have the baby.. even though I won't have over 100 pounds to lose, it'll be close enough since I'm supposed to weigh about 120.
Any input would be helpful thank you very much!
And I also wanted to say GOOD JOB to all you ladies, you seem to be doing very good and are very supportive of each other. A good reason I want to join. :) Thanks!

Hey, congrats on the little one, and I don't see any reason why anyone would NOT welcome you. I feel like we are a supportive group. I personally didn't have over 100 lbs to lose when i joined and still don't. I like you am just on the cusp of it. I say welcome and best of luck.

I am due June 4th but am having a c-section since my son was born emergency c-section. So this time I get to scheduele it! Thank you both for the welcome and the congrats on the baby. I will DEFINITELY be joining the board FOR SURE.
I was about 145 before.. and then by the time I actually got pregnant, I went to about 200. I want to get back to how I was before, even if it is only 140! I used to fit into a size 10 and that was fine with me, I am not planning on going much lower than that (since I have very muscular legs.. that's one thing I can say, they are not really fatty but do have lots of muscle! thankfully..lol) and I have a big butt and wide hips.. I know I'm going to be "thick" forever.. but I can still have a flat tummy while being curvy, right!? :)
I'm thinking about giving myself about 2 weeks healing time (since I know with DS that's all I really needed).. of course, I am going to start of dieting right away.. then I will start exercising in about 2-3 weeks.

Kasey,

Welcome to our board! I hope you're having a healthy, calm pregnancy. June will be here before you know it.

We're not literal about the 100 to lose mark, thankfully. (I included the same information in my introduction, and I find it kind of cute how many people have since included the same info in theirs. LOL) I think those of us with a significant amount to lose can gain a lot from being together. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that you have a big drop to jump start you after the baby comes!

All the best,
Annie

I was pg and had both of my kids at the heaviest point in my life.. I was 271 when I got pg w/ DD and 301 when I got pg w/ DS. I'm only 5'4" tall..

WELCOME AND BEST WISHES!!

Hi Kasey.. and congratulations on your almost-here baby.. May will be here before you know it.


Like the rest of the ladies already moentioned, you're be more than welcomed to join us. I am trying to lose 80lbs myself. I think it's more like: "if you have a lot of weight to lose" board LOL


Welcome aboard.. can't wait until you "officially" join us :)

Of course you are welcome here dahhhling! I definately needed to lose 100+. I needed to lose 166. So far I've lost 109 and my goal is to get down to 110. So, I have 57 left to go, but really, I'd like to get down to 100, which makes 67 pounds left.

Welcome to the board! We have a great group of people here!

Oh, and good for you for wanting to get to it right away. I waited til my son was 3 and I gained 100 pounds between my two pregnancies, which were back to back. 6 weeks between the time Isabella was born and I got pregnant with Chase.

Thank you all! I am still lurking around and will try to post a little bit here on and off til the baby comes. I have already set my mind straight that I WANT to do this for myself.. not anyone else, but for ME and as soon as I have this baby it is DIET TIME. :D
