Currently 38 weeks pregnant (baby boy due 22nd July!) and have gained around 40lbs throughout my pregnancy. This brings my weight up to a total of 240lbs and I'd like to get down to 140lbs! I expect 10lbs+ will pretty much instantly be lost when I give birth, and I plan to breast feed which should burn a substantial amount of calories. That, coupled with a max calorie intake of 1800cals, I hope to steadily lose 100lbs...*here's hoping*

Anyone else trying to lose baby weight? If so, please add me! And anyone who has a large amount of weight to lose (40lbs+) let me add you as a friend! I need motivation!!

**my weight loss journey will begin once I have my baby, obviously lol

    After my first son i weighed 40lbs heavier and never got the weight off my second son is almost 2 my first will be 8. My first pregnancy i was 135 my second i started it at 168 after i was 176. I breastfed my second not my first but still i lost no weight breastfeeding and when i tried my milk went down but i tried cutting too many calories. 1800 is a good amount i wish i wouldve done that. So i waited until he was 1 to start losing weight. Im now 138lbs and im trying for 130 which was my smallest since 17 years old im 25 now almost 26. Add me if youd like i keep my diary open and post meals if you look through my feed. Good luck mama and congrats. Us mamas gotta stick together.
