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!

Of course you can join us!
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
Of course you are welcome here.
congrats on the upcoming addition to your family.
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.
If you want to lose the weight, whether it's 10 lbs to 300 Lbs (or more!), we are here for you! I've found, it's WONDERFUL here. Everyone is very supportive. Go ahead and join. We are behind you!
