Hi everyone, I'm so excited to be a part of this thread. I didn't do as well as I wanted with weight gain but the fit fabulous and pregnant group really helped me step up walking and moving around more during my pregnancy. All in all I gained 32lbs. I'm 5'3" and started at 147. My goal is 130, I hung on to 10 after my first baby 2 years ago and gained 7 over the holidays. I'm 2 days PP now and still very swollen. My baby was 8lbs 14.6 ounces, we were team green and ended up with a boy!

Not surprised to see a lb come back on, after such a big loss I knew some of it had to be fluid, lol. Still doing pretty well with a good downward trend. My weigh fluctuates day to day, of course, but the upper end of the fluctuations is getting consistently lower, and I see new lows regularly
. Still not tracking or exercising (rectus abdominis still has some separation and I don't want to make that worse; will wait til it closes before doing any real exercise); just happy to be losing anyway. Will save those strategies for when the loss gets more difficult. 0 -

Appetite was out of control after birth so started logging last week and set my intake to 1800 calories a day.
Goal for this week is to stay in the 140s, continue logging, and walks.
Long term goals are to get back to my prepregnancy weight of 136 by Christmas and 125lbs by spring break 2016!

Congrats to all on your new bundles of joy! Came here to check myself and be accountable. I'm in the middle of stopping breastfeeding/pumping and will not get to enjoy the same amount of food so I need to focus on my portions. Weight has been slowing creeping on due to overeating (mainly after dinner) and I need to snap that bad habit.
Goals for this week: Log food every day; no eating after dinner.0 -

Was hoping for a bigger loss this week, but some is better than none
. Slow and steady wins the race! I just keep reminding myself that my daughter is only two months old, and I'm only 18 lbs from goal. It's the fastest I've ever been able to lose baby weight, so while it seems slow and tedious at times, I think I'm doing pretty well. 0 -

29 years old, 5'3" a comfortable weight for me is about 130. I was seriously swollen all over for the first several days but it's gradually going away. It was beyond disappointing to only have lost 3lbs when I came home and this was before my milk came in! Anyway, I'm hoping I have a little more water to lose and am crossing my fingers to be 160 for my next weigh in.0 -

It seems to be coming off slowly but surely... I certainly notice a difference in my belly as opposed to my first pregnancy - I gained over 40 lbs with my son and after I delivered my stomach was a mess with red stretch marks everywhere and loose skin and just jiggly and floppy and deflated. I find that now I kinda just look like I did before I got pregnant this time (oh, still jiggly and floppy but a little less so).
Love the weekly goals @TANNE21! Jumping on the bandwagon... My goals this week are to drink at least 64 oz of water a day, try to walk 20 mins/day (recovering from a c-section and trying to take things slow so I don't aggravate my incision like last time!), and to complete my c-section recovery exercises (basically leg slides, pelvic tilts, and deep belly breathing) 3 times this week!
My two bigger longer term goals are to lose another 9 lbs by Christmas to put me at my pre-pregnancy weight from before I got pregnant with my son in 2012... Ultimately I'd like to lose another 10 on top of that to put me in the top range of healthy weight for my height.

Even though I am up, I don't think it's what it seems. Today is my first day not pumping if you know what I mean...:) Despite knowing that, I didn't have the best week. I had 3 or 4 good days but then 3-4 bad days with eating. I have been getting in around 3 workouts per week so I think knowing that I can maintain on that level is powerful knowledge. I just need to start making smaller changes to start losing again. Water was good this week and sleep was ehhh. I tend to stay up after the kids are asleep for 'me time' and I just need to go to bed. I feel better when I do.
I have a work trip I leave for tomorrow and I'll be out of town for 5 nights (UGH.) I try to approach it like a game to see how much I can walk and eat healthy but sometimes there are not good choices to choose from and I fall off the wagon. I am bringing my own snacks, some peanut butter and soup to have as a back up (I'll be at a convention center for most of the time) so hopefully this will help keep myself in check.
Good goals @katiebrew ! You are doing amazing!! I'd like to lose 5-10 by Christmas too. I'm glad we are both checking in here!
Nice job @scoopskipotato I would love to see 130 at some point too...although for me it's been many years (decades?!) lol.
Goals: Logging food every day; drinking 96 oz of water per day (this helped the last time I traveled) and getting 3 workouts in while I'm traveling.
Have a good week everyone!0 -

Renewed gym membership the day little one turned 6 weeks and have gone twice for 45 minutes while she naps at home with hubby. Maintaining my intake at 1800 and milk supply is still good.

So I ate terribly over my calories last week!!! A good reminder that I won't reach my goals without some work. Speaking of goals - I managed to mostly get my water in, and my three days of post c section rehab exercises, but failed miserably with walking. I'm going to try that one again this week!!!
Keep on keeping on ladies!!!0 -

29 years old 5'3" 18lbs lost so far. I found a piece of paper showing my measurements and weight from when I started working out again after my first baby was born and it was crazy because I started at 159 but my thighs and stomach were several inches larger than they are this time around. I can't believe the difference, I know I have quite a way to go before I can say I'm where I want to be but just knowing that at the same weight I'm two inches smaller in each thigh and 3-4 inches smaller in the tummy area is great motivation. How does that even work?!?
@katiebrew Your baby isn't even a month old and you are under your pre preg weight! Good for you! As far as your skin comment I noticed the same thing with my stomach! It's not nearly as flabby as it was after my first. Even my husband makes comments about how I'm bouncing back so much faster this time and that's a really good feeling. I think it's because I made an effort to at least walk and do my elliptical a few times a week, my first pregnancy my only exercise was walking to the kitchen to get another kit kat bar...
@TANNE21 it looks like you are pretty close to the 130's, you are dropping weight like nobodies business! Good for you for keeping up with your workouts too, it's hard for me to get myself and the babies out of the house even for a walk.0 -
@scoopskipotato your comment made me laugh so hard - but also, I agree! I ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted with my first, and exercised towards the end of my pregnancy, but this time around I was better with walking (and not just to the kitchen, haha!)0

I did much better this week with walking, water, and c-section exercises... except for yesterday, womp womp. I was feeling anxious yesterday about job stuff and also got a bit down about my post c-section stomach while I was out shopping and trying on clothes... and decided it was time to eat all the food and sit on my butt. 6 out of 7 isn't bad, but getting back on track again today. But the scale is going in the right direction at least, so there's that! So another 9 lbs to my first goal weight - I hope to be there by Christmas.
Good losses everyone... how's it going not pumping anymore @TANNE21?
We should be seeing more ladies arriving from the fit fab and pregnant board any day now

I was in my big jeans when I got pregnant, so I'm looking to lose 10 more lbs and then reevaluate what my goal weight is after that. Right now I am exclusively breastfeeding and am trying to determine what my calorie intake is going to work for me to keep my milk supply, while allowing me to lose weight.0 -
Moving over here from the pregnancy boards (only followed, never actually posted.) just gave birth to baby boy #2. With my first I started at 135 and gained 38 lbs. I lost it all, but gained some vacation weight that I never got off prior to getting pregnant this time around. So started at 142 and was 190 (eek!) at delivery. I am 5 days post partum and I've been really watching my intake since I'm not cleared to exercise just yet. I have squeezed in one short walk and plan to do so more often in the upcoming weeks. Today I was at 177. I am EBF and would love the support and accountability of some fellow mamas with similar goals. Would love to slowly, but surely get back down in the 130s where I am comfortable. I've added 500 calories to my usual 1400, so keeping it around 1900 for now. Plan on weighing in on Fridays. Let me know if anyone needs an accountability buddy to check in with:)0

29 years old 5'3" goal weight is 130.
My goal for next weeks weigh in is 152.
Ok so I weigh every day and record it just to see some kind of downward pattern. I'm having crazy water fluctuations, on 10/24 I weighed 159 and today I'm at 154 and I really don't get it, I guess my hormones are still balancing out. Haven't done well with walking at all last week so I'll focus more on that this week.
@mrsmunde you make it look so easy!!! I wish my post preg updates looked like yours lol
@zmama109 welcome to the pack! I have similar numbers. I'm trying to post on here every week and weigh in every Saturday and post the good and not so good numbers, I really feel like this group and the fit fab and preg group made a huge difference in my entire pregnancy I know I would have gained so much more and moved much less if it weren't for these groups and the ladies here.0 -
@scoopskipotato Honestly, I am thankful my body responded to pregnancy so well, but I am definitely struggling with breastfeeding hunger. I am snacking too much while at home with the little one, so this week I need to focus on my food intake, otherwise I am going to start seeing the scale go the opposite direction. I love that you are losing weight consistently and post regularly on here. I am hoping by being more active on MFP, that I can see the results I want too! Hoping we can be friends, to help motivate each other 0

Down 10 lbs from my pre-pregancy weight (I credit this to working out right up until I was a week over due). Getting lots of walks in too -- helps calm the baby when he's cranky and it's nice to get out of the house. Eating around 2,000 cals/day. Can't get back to lifting heavy things for a while because of the c-section, so trying to get in what I can.
That's amazing! Great job!!!0 -
Prepregnancy I was 190 ( had lost 20lbs just before getting pregnant)
Went up to 240 during pregnancy then down to 220 by 4 weeks postpartum and that's where I stayed. I'm now 12 weeks pp and started going to the gym m Monday to Friday for am hour each day and played with my calories until I settled on 1640 plus 300 for breastfeeding. I'm now at 210 after for weeks of this. My final goal is to get to 150.0 -

This past week was so so for me... went over on calories quite a few times, but at least the scale didn't go up? I was disappointed to not see a move down on the scale yesterday, I'll admit. But I know I could have done better food wise. I didn't get out moving as much as I would have liked in the past week either. BUT I did have my six week check up today and got the all clear to resume normal activity so that was good. I am feeling stronger and stronger every day too... I lowered my calories a tad but am eating back breastfeeding calories but trying not to eat exercise cals. I strapped my jawbone back on too to measure steps. My goal for this week will be to hit my calorie goal and to try to make good food choices... I'll see how supply goes (EBF) and if the scale budges and might re-evaluate calorie intake in two weeks.
Great job @mrsmunde! @scoopskipotato was spot on... you make it look super easy haha!
@scoopskipotato I was weighing myself everyday too... I wasn't seeing crazy fluctuations but was driving myself crazy!!! I am going to try to stay off the scale this week... although I can hear it's siren call as we speak, ugh. who am I kidding, I'll probably step on it tomorrow. I've walked/eaten within my calorie budget two whole days in a row... I totally feel entitled to a bit of a loss now haha!
Welcome @zmama109! I started off a little heavier than you with my first (a boy as well ) but never did take it all off... got my pregnancy weight off and now am working on weight from that first pregnancy haha
@regenhay way to hit the gym... I have been looking at childminding programs at the local gyms but can't bring myself to pay the fees associated with memberships anywhere here (so freakin' expensive where I live) so I'm going to try at home videos/youtube, etc
@tlflag1620 WOOT WOOT! way to be heading in the right direction... I feel like slow and steady is how I want to see it happen for me too!
Have a great week ladies. Thanks for checking in - so nice to have check in buddies. I find it so motivating seeing your progress!0 -
Hello everyone! I'm so happy to finally be joining this group!
This is my second baby and this time around I'm proud to say that I stuck to my initial goal of gaining 15-25 lbs throughout my entire pregnancy. Baby boy was born on October 22 at 7lbs11oz. I've got just over 6 lbs to go until I get to my prepregnancy weight, but I had gained considerably more with my first pregnancy; and so my goal after losing these 6 lbs is to reach my prepregnancy weight from before having my daughter - another 15.3 lbs to go. (She is now 16 months old.)
I'm not tracking my food or exercise just yet as I'm still in the healing process and baby is having trouble gaining weight so I may have to experiment with my diet to up the quality of my milk supply. Add me if you'd like. I'm a very supportive friend!
