May 2015 babies

I had a beautiful baby boy on the 6th May. I need to loose 2 stone to get back to my pre pregnancy weight. I am giving myself 6 months to loose 2 stones. What's your story & goal?

I had my baby boy on May 4! I gained 60 lbs and have lost 45 so far. My goal is to lose another 55 lbs and I will accomplish this goal by his 1st birthday, if not before.

Hey ladies I had my lb on May 4th also I am
Still 1 stone over pre pregnancy weight and I want to lose at least 2 before he's 1 if not before xx

Hello ladies, I had my little lady on May 20th and I'm back at my pre pregnancy weight. (But I only put about 10lb on)
I have about 40lb to loose to be healthier.

Hi ladies I think it's good we are setting ourselves a realistic target. I've been on the 5:2 diet since the 1st June and so far I've lost 10lbs in 9 weeks. I'm going to start running again once my eldest son goes back to school in September. I do the 30 day shred DVD when I can, I'm up to level 2 but not doing it religiously every day. So anyone got any tips? x

OperationSwimsuit86

Gosh you're doing well GeorgieG!
My best tip is stay away from the Bourbon biscuits!
I'm trying to take a walk everyday, that's the best I'm doing atm. X

Hey ladies, I put on so much during pregnancy and looking to loose about 40lbs. Motivation is sorely lacking of late but hopefully your success will inspire me to buck up and get back to something resembling pre pregnancy me. X

Thank you Carole, I don't feel like I'm doing well I was surprised though with my weight loss in the time frame as I've still had takeaways & alcohol, it was my eldest sons bday yesterday and I love to bake, he requested a chocolate fudge bday cake & chocolate cupcakes so that certainly hasn't helped with the diet this week plus we went to chiquitos today. Think a long walk tomorrow will be required. I also have a Fitbit and can't believe how difficult it is to do 10,000 steps in a day! x

Hello ladies, I had my little boy on 5th May and after gaining 30lbs I have 5 stubborn lbs left to lose to get to my pre pregnancy weight.. I've been using MFP to track calories and macro nutrients for a couple of years and weight train when I can! Good luck!

I used to have a Fitbit but I sold it when I had knee surgery and could no longer walk very far. I loved it before that!
Mmmmmm cake! I went to a wedding this weekend and there was no cake

Hi ladies,

My name is Khadifa. I had a beautiful baby boy on the 15th May. Stupidly didn't take care of my weight during pregnancy and now paying for it!

I've already lost 7 lbs but need to lose another 4 stones and 7 lbs. I've joined Slimming World in aid of helping and have my first weigh in on Wednesday. But nervous as baby had his jabs on Friday and was soooooo upset in the evening that I dabbled with the chocolates. Oops. X

Hi all,
My name is Lynsey, married and we have two young children Sienna 2 yrs and Luke 3 months (born 2nd of May). I have 15 lbs to lose and need to keep motivated as my husband really makes it difficult for me as he can't stay away from the treat cupboard. Which day is everyone doing weigh ins? X

Cenevers

Hi ladies! I had my baby girl may 28th, I lost 20 after pregnancy but gained 10 back during maternity leave. I have 80lbs to lose to feel happy. I've added you all

KhadifaVhora

Hi Lynsey,

Weigh in days I think were agreed as Thursday?

Also for those who are breastfeeding, how are you taking in to account the 500 odd calories we burn? Are you adding it as an exercise?

OperationSwimsuit86

If you go to add food and type in breast feeding it'll give you extra calories!

Morning ladies, I do like a Monday for a fresh start, plus it's also one of my fasting days which I enjoy if I've had a bad weekend. I thought it might be nice to get to know each other a bit more and share our goals. Is everyone happy for Thursday mornings to be the weigh in day?
Name: Georgina
Age: 39
Children: Son aged 9 & Son aged 12 weeks
Exercise/weight loss history: I was very active before I fell pg, I ran 5k 3-4 times per week plus went to the gym 3 times per week, I also did the Davina DVDs at home when I had chance. I was on the 5:2 diet before I fell pg and it really worked and I found it so easy to stick to. I couldn't exercise throughout my pg as I had spd and could hardly walk. I put on 5 stone during my pg and have 2 still to loose.
Current plan: 5:2 diet fasting days are Monday & Wednesday. I'm going to aim for 10,000 steps per day, do 30 day shred dvd when I can and I'm planning on starting running again once my eldest is back at school.
Goal: I'm aiming to loose 2 stone by February (6 months), ready for our first holiday as a family of 4. I am quite lucky and my stomach has gone down well and I have no stretch marks, my problem areas are my thighs and bottom.

Looking forward to getting to know you all and supporting each other on this journey xx

Thanks Carole, I found it!

Name: Khadifa
Age: 26
Children: Zakariya born 15/05/15
Exercise/weight loss history: I lost about a stone and a half in 2014 as I was getting married in June. Combination of running 4/5 times a week paired with healthy eating. I fell pregnant very quickly after marriage, in August. Just ended up using pregnancy as an excuse to eat anything and everything. Now regretting it! I put on 5 and a half stones during pregnancy. Lost half a stone and still got a very long way to go.
Current plans: I've joined slimming world which I attend on Wednesdays and will try and incorporate walking with baby every day. I'm also going to be doing Insanity Max 30 as of today for an extra boost!
Goal: aiming to have lost all my weight by the time it's his first birthday and maintain it.

Name: Lynsey
Age: 38
Children: Sienna 2 yrs Luke 3 months
Status: Married
Exercise/weight loss history:I used to be a size 10 pre pregnancy with Sienna. I had a c section delivery with her and found exercise difficult, especially tummy exercises. When I had reached my goal weight again.... I fell pregnant with Luke and now want to shift the weight again.
Current plans: I am using a fitness band tracker to monitor my calories, steps, sleep pattern and distance travelled. I am also following the slimming world recipes but I am not a member of SW. I am also breastfeeding. I am going to start doing the 7 minute app, as I don't have a lot of time to myself with two young children.
Goal: Got 15 lbs to lose
aiming to have lost all my weight by the time it's my birthday and maintain it.
