New mom, needs friends and help!

Options
Hi all! I'm a new mom, I had my lovely daughter on 6/16! I am looking for some friends, motivation and helpful workout tips to help me shed my baby weight.

During my whole pregnancy I gained 40 pounds, and I have lost 20 of those since giving birth. I really want to be down to my original weight of 145 by early September. I still have until the end of July before I am cleared to start really working out again. I gained most of my weight in my butt, thighs and arms. I want to start working my arm muscles a little bit to try and get a head start on those.

I'm trying to watch my nutrition/calorie intake with MFP, but could use some help along the way!

Thanks!
Lizzy

    Hey great to meet you. I've had four kids so far and I have to say losing weight after the first three was easy it wasn't until this last baby that I've had difficulty. You will do great if you keep striving for that September goal.

    Aw, congratulations!

    I had my son 4 years ago and I was back to my pre baby weight pretty quickly, but have been up and down ever since... On the way back down and I'm determined this time to lose it and maintain it!

    I think the hardest thing I've found is fitting in a regular exercise routine. I'd love to share and see what others are fitting into their busy parenting schedules!!

    Feel free to add me!
