My daughter is 10 months
I have about 100 lbs to lose, it's so overwhelming1 -
Hi! I have a 12 month old and had lost all my baby weight (45 pounds) plus a few extra by 4 months post-partum but PPD and winter set in and I gained about 15 pounds back. Now it's almost summer, PPD is under control and I'm ready to lose it again! My biggest issue is that baby still isn't sleeping through the night (so I'm exhausted) and is also not ready to wean. I found when I cut calories much below 2000/day my supply drops. I'm more than ready to be done breastfeeding though. Any tips? My older daughter self-weaned around 11 months without a problem. This time around I'm not so lucky.
Ppd caused me to gain so much.
I'd suggest trying to focus on just making those 2000 calories very healthy, lots of good fats and proteins and leafy greens. Try quinoa for a carb if you haven't yet since it's a complete protein. And try to focus on weight lifting of you can

I have well over 100 to lose and I understand how overwhelmed you feel. But we can do this.

I am 7 months pp with baby #3 and feeling the most unhealthy I have ever felt! Really need to start taking better care of myself. With each pregnancy I've gained 7 extra pounds compared to previous so now I'm about 21 pounds over pre-pregnancy weight (which was itself a bit high but at least in a normal range). All excess weight is in the belly area so strangers still think I'm pregnant!! Really need accountability to logging calories etc and motivation from others who have been there!3

Pre pregnancy weight: 143
End pregnancy weight: 178
Current weight: 158
Goal weight: 140
I have 18 pounds to lose. Ugh the struggle is real. I started working out 6 weeks postpartum until the doctor gave me the okay. on Friday 6/24/16 I weighed 155 and I gain 3 pounds back. why is it so hard to lose the weight.1 -
Pre pregnancy: 199
End: 240
Current-4 weeks pp: 212
Ultimate goal: 140
Waiting on my 6vweek checkup to do much for exercise as I had a csection but working on my diet right now and hoping to make some more progress until I can really start moving again1 -
Pre-pregnancy weight: LMAO I was pregnant back to back for three years, what is this pre-pregnancy of which you speak?
End: 250's? Maybe higher even?
Current: 144lbs
Goal: I find this hard to qualify right now. My original goal was 160, but that was way too much, adjusted to 140 which I'm close to, but I'm thinking I might try to cut down to 130 before moving to maintenance and starting the Strong Curves lifting program. Idk

I am back to pre-pregnancy weight (actually 1 lb below, bc I got pregnant right around Christmas). I was up to about 200 (I stopped looking) at 9 mo pregnant. Now at 8.5 mo pp, I am 137 and fit comfortably into my regular jeans.
I would like to lose maybe 2 more lbs (which would bring me down to college weight, before having four babies) and recomp (I started lifting weights almost 2 mo ago) and get a bit less jiggly. The mommy tummy is much reduced but unfortunately not gone yet
.
Progress! I weighed in today at 131.5! I have never been this light in my adult life. My midsection is way less jiggly and I am starting to see muscle definition. Can't wait to see how things change at the end of this phase of the program 5 -

That's fine, but the lovely ladies on this group don't judge and we support each other whether in a normal weight bracket, overweight or obese regardless. Congratulations on your weight loss x

I am 14 weeks pp today and have lost 13.5kg of the 17 I gained. Haven't done much in terms of exercise other than walking and am only just now starting to pay more attention to what I eat. I exclusively breastfeed so that must be helping 2

I'm now 6 weeks pp and at 156lbs, down 21lbs and have 21 to go! I have low milk supply and I am taking a medication to increase my prolactin. I've only lost 2lbs this month so I think it is impeding my weight loss (known side effect). Oh well, I only plan to be on it for 3-6 months so I can breastfeed.2

Hi Lisa,I'm now 6 weeks pp and at 156lbs, down 21lbs and have 21 to go! I have low milk supply and I am taking a medication to increase my prolactin. I've only lost 2lbs this month so I think it is impeding my weight loss (known side effect). Oh well, I only plan to be on it for 3-6 months so I can breastfeed.
I found that losing weight early on seemed to reduce my milk supply so I stopped trying to lose for a while and focus on healthy choices. Now a few months on it doesn't seem to be affected. Good luck!xx

Hi everyone. I am 6 weeks PP with my second child and have just been given the green light for exercise. YAY!!
I left the hospital weighing 172 and have already lost about 18 pounds.
Right now I weigh in at 148 pounds and am looking at a goal of another 28 pounds.
Right now I'm in a size nine but I'm wondering if I'm ever going to lose my belly flab I've acquired

Me too! Unfortunately, I seem to be a different shape from pre-pregnancy (carrying even more weight around the middle and even less on legs/hips/butt) so I expect to have to get down lower than my pre-pregnancy weight for clothes to fit.
Weirdly, I still can't comfortably get my engagement ring on at the same time as my wedding ring yet - even though I'm lighter than I was between pregnancies (when I could do that no problem). So, my second pregnancy gave me fat fingers? I don't understand!

I am 12 days PP with my third!
Pre pregnancy 165
Deliver at 200

Lost 21 lbs and still have 13 lbs to go for pre baby but goal weight 145!1 -
@SusanMFindlay it's so weird toy just mentioned rings as I was going to post about it! I'm now back to my pre preg weight but can't get my wedding and engagement rings back on. I took them off at about 6months preg. I don't get it! I'm also still not fitting ack into clothes nicely so I'm aiming to lose lots more!
@TiffanyBeckett congratulations! Take some time to heal and not worry too much about what you're eating though. We'll still be here when you're ready.xx1 -

You not toy!
Back not ack.
Ugh I should read before I post sorry!0 -
My rings came off very early in both pregnancies. I swell up like a balloon - water retention *everywhere*. But after the first pregnancy, I was able to wear 1 ring at 180ish (i.e. 20 pounds pregnancy weight left) and both at 175ish.
Post-second pregnancy, I'm currently at 165 and can only barely wear 1 ring. I suspect I'll have to get to 155ish (i.e. lower than my pre-pregnancy weight) to wear both this time. 2 -
I'm 5 months postpartum and I've lost 35 of the 43 pounds I gained while pregnant (I was up to 198 the day before I had my daughter). After that, I've got another 20 to lose!2
