Bye-Bye Baby Weight

Cas_Wells

Hey ladies!!!

This is the FIRST time in 5 years my husband and I will not be planning to get pregnant again. We have four little men under four and my body has been through the literal ringer. It's been CHAOS!!

That means, this year I will ACTUALLY be making it a goal to say BYE BYE BABY WEIGHT for good!!! I want my "normal" body back (not that I even know what that means!)

I'm looking for mommas who want to join - you don't have to be "done" having kids haha just want to get rid of the weight you put on during pregnancy.

How about it?

My stats:

Throughout my 4 pregnancies I put on 80 lbs (YIKES

That's awesome! Great job! That's how I was with my oldest son, but the weight after my youngest has been so stubborn!

I'm in! I am not sure if we are done having kids, but for now we are just fine with my son,. he is 15 months. highest weight was 195, starting weight for this journey was 167.5lbs. current weight 160, I am down 7lbs! Goal weight will be about 130-ishh... I just started watching my calorie intake and I signed up for kickboxing classes that I have been going to 3 days a week and I LOVE it.

I started this journey in Feb. We have 2, a 2.5 yo and almost 1yo. I was 169 at my first appt with my toddler and 179 at the first with my baby. I got down to 180 then got stuck. So counting calories started in Feb and in currently 164! I'm proud, and my final goal is 141, the top of healthy BMI for my height.

Weigh ins and challenges seen to stress me out, but I'd love to hang out and chat it up!

Anyone breastfeeding?

I'm starting to get baby fever again and a women a church had a dream I had triplets (!!!). So now, in focusing on building up my vitamin and fat stores, I feel depleted and want to be ready for the next baby, if the Lord wills. Does anyone know anything about nourushing I'm still counting calories and losing weight too.

Does anyone know anything about nourushing my body in this season? I'd love love help with that.

I'm in!! I think we are done with kids for now, 6yo, 20mo, and a 6mo old. The last 2 were so close together my body just never recovered. I am exclusively breastfeeding so hungry all the time and no breastfeeding did not help me shake the weight. Why can't I be one of those unicorns. Anyway highest weight was 198, dropped to 180 currently 172.
1st goal 165
2nd 155
3rd 145
Ultimate goal is 140

I'm in! My son (my first child) just turned 6 months old.

Before Pregnancy: 125 lbs
At Delivery: 180 lbs
6 weeks PP: 165 lbs
6 months PP: 155 lbs
Goal: 130 - 135 lbs - more specifically, be in a size 8 again; right now I'm a size 12

This was at 9 weeks, the day I graduated from college.




This picture was the day I was due. I ended up going a week over.




And it's frustrating! I've been trying this since he turned 2 months old, and nothing seems to work. I breastfed for 3 months, I cut way back on the eating - some days, all I would have for the entire day was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich - and I walk all the time. Still nothing. The only thing that halfway worked was a water diet - I drank 2 32 oz glasses of fruit-infused water for 3 weeks, but I only dropped about 2 inches, no pounds. It's...disheartening.

@meldjk44 I hear ya.

You don't have to be done, just fine with carrying the baby weight (for now).

I used to love kickboxing!!!! What an excellent total body workout!! Do you go with a friend?
