I have been struggling with weight loss since my son was born, he's now 16 months. I tried weight watchers and was actually losing water weight, but I couldn't stay focused. I have pretty much cut out all sugar except for my spoonfull for my 1 cup of coffee in the morning (only way I can drink coffee). My doctor recently put me on a diet pill which is working, but I need to actually exercise. I can't motivate myself because I feel like I can't make time for myself. I also live in an apartment with people below me so I don't want to be jumping around making all kinds of noise. I am really interested in finding someone who would like to workout with me. I could use some friends too!

What can I do next?

Hi H.--
Do you like walking? I try to go on walks with my son, who is 8 months right now....and I'd be happy for some company! There are some really great places to go walking around Raleigh that I have discovered in my quest to lose some of the pregnancy weight...I also know there are a couple of actual walking moms' groups that get together, although I have not managed to go to any of those scheduled walks. Maybe you could hook up with one of those? Or let me know if you want to schedule a walk with us sometime. =)

Hi H., my name is B. and I have been in Raleigh for about 15 months. I am currently not exercising because I am pregnant and due in 4 weeks but afterwards I will be actively walking and losing the baby weight. It may be a little more difficult for me because I have a very stubborn 3.5yr old who does not really like to walk that fast but I will do the best i can. My husband and I do not know very many people either even though we have been here over a year. I am a stay at home mommy and he works ALOT. My email is ____@____.com if you want to send me a message or try to meet up sometime for a leisure walk(until after the baby anyways)Where did you move from?

H., I know it is hard to lose that weight, but it seems that you do have the desire. That is a great start. I have lived here for 2 year. I have a nearly 5 month daughter. I have had to put myself out there to make friends. I am a working mom, so I also have time constraints. Check out TriangleMommies.com. They have all kinds of groups and outings, even weekend stuff. Also, look into HealthyMomsNC.com. I met my best friend in a class. Great ways to work out and socialize. Good luck and keep up the positive attitude.
