After baby body: Claiming my shape back, who's in?

Terracotta2705

Hey ladies!!

After 2 beautiful pregnancies I am so ready to work on my shape.
I've always had weight problems, but successfully got in very good shape with mfp a few years ago. But after I moved to another continent, changing lifestyle and no access to a gym I gained some of the weight back. Not too much anyway. I gained back another 20 kilograms during my first pregnancy, lost the half within a month and the rest over the next 5 months. During my second pregnancy I gained even more back, maybe around 30 (!) kilograms and I didn't lose anything yet, in opposite to my first postpartum I have a very big appetite in this postpartum.. maybe because of tandem nursing the boys?!
Anywho, if you are willing to work on your after baby body, feel free to send me a fr request and comment on this post. Let's share our stories and if we get a small nice mommy group together we could share results and motivate each other.. 😊

My goal: losing at least 40 kilograms 😅 and gaining my strength back

What's your goal?

Hi there! My goal is to lose 19 kg and gain muscle. My body looks a lot different than it did before. Larger everything and stretch marks! I'm ready to feel like me again! ☺️

That's great, yes it's not only about the looks but also about well-being! I know that feeling of not feeling like oneself anymore. You'll get there, thumbs up for you, have a nice, strong journey!

Hey all!
I’d love to join! I’ve been slacking a bit on my weight loss, but I am so ready to get back on track!
I have a 3 year old little boy, I gained about 70ibs with my pregnancy as I was on strict bed rest.
Prior to pregnancy I was a bikini competitor and I am so ready to have my body back!

I would like to join you all. My daughter just turned 1 a few weeks ago. I've lost about 25 kg since giving birth, with 10 of this being in the last 5-6 months. Been in a bit of a slump lately, but joined mfp to lose another 10-15 kg before we start trying for baby #2. Would love to support and inspire one another!

I have 3 kids, gained 20kg, lost 5kg.
I'm ready to claim my body back since the factory is now closed.
Struggling to stick to my calories, especially when Im tired. The nibbling on the minions leftovers is my biggest problem.

How’s everyone doing so far??

Hello mamas! Hopefully it’s not too late to join!
My daughter is 1.5 now. My only progress so far is losing weight but that’s it. Nothing else’s the same anymore especially my midsection. It was flat and I could even see a bit abs before I found out I was pregnant, but now it’s a lovely pile of loose skin (my daughter loves to poke it with her tiny fingers lol)

While my food choice hasn’t been that great for the past several weeks (due to the stress from loosing sleep and worrying about the impact from this pandemic), I started this challenge to myself on April 1 to workout everyday for the entire month. I was never committed to working out everyday before and thought it’s too tiresome, but turns out it’s not that bad (just need to space things out).

For the remaining part of the week I’ll be focusing on just completing my daily workout & giving myself a chance to tone back the aggressive snacking habit lol. Starting from next week I want to add other goals:
- Seriously cutting sugary food intake
- Drinking more water
- 2-3 solid weight training sessions (other days will be kickboxing and hopefully yoga)
- Play more & be more patient with my toddler

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Hi ladies! I hope I'm not too late to join the group.

I am mom to 2 boys, 10yrs and 9mos. My weight at delivery was 236. I am currently 190lbs. I'd gained about 20lbs right before I got pregnant with by baby boy. My normal weight was around 155-160lbs, but I was about 175 when I got pregnant.

My goal is to get back to a healthy and fit 155-160lbs.

I have been suffering from postpartum depression and have found it to be very difficult staying consistent on this journey. But I am determined to not stop trying.

Starting today I will be active everyday for the next 30 days. Establishing some sort of routine would be great.

No excuses, MELISSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi girls , I would love to join

I am a mum of 2 , with the newborn 7 months old I am ready to get active again especially before I go back to work in the covid crisis .

I was 70kg (154lbs ) and since joining mfp 10 days ago , I think I am now about 67kg .

My fitness goal is to have more stamina again and a toned/leanbody which is my natural disposition .
My weight goal is to be 60kg ( although I was 55kg before kids ).
My clothes size goal is a uk size 10-12 . Again before kids I was an 8-10 depending on the shop but post babies and with hips expanding I am thinking 10-12 is more realistic .

My struggles are :
* I like food .
* I struggle with portion control .
* I am at home with the kids so limited exercise

My solution to that is :
* to get my calories from healthy foods such as lean protein and plenty of veg .
* If I am craving a snack eat fruit and veg and drink water
* do an exercise video with the kids every day. Keep active around the house aiming for 3000+ steps .
* Do a 30 minute rowing session on the tower every other day when the kids are in bed .

Hello there mamas! Great thread and great idea. I have 16kg to lose and am a mom of 4 young children with a FT job. Taking it one step at a time. Since the pandemic confinement started I've gained 2kg because I bike commute. Anyone else being challenged with confinement? #stayhome

lululapagaille

Hi girls, I’m going to add you too !
My name is Lucie, I live in France, I have a 2 year old and I’m struggling to lose those last 3 kilos. It’s the 3 kgs that always keep me from my ideal weight... Before my pregnancy I’d lost 7kgs with MFP. Can do it again ! 💪

annaeri26

All you ladies have great ideas for staying motivation and also finding what your struggles are! We can all do this!

lananabanana112

Hey there, my little one is 4months now. I'm ebf but the weight is not 'falling off by itself' as it does for some apperently want to loose 5kg (7-8 would be friggin great) and get in shape. Will add you alright!?

lil_lizt

Hiya, I have 3 kids, my eldest turned 3 last month, my middle just turned 2 and my youngest is 4 months. I lost the weight after my first easily but didn’t lose between 2 and 3 and now I have 3 stone to lose. I’m struggling to get on track as breastfeeding makes me so hungry and crave all of the junk lol

yaelle911

Hi!!! I'm a mom of 7!!!
Yes it can be crazy busy!!!
But I'm looking for a real buddy!!
Accountability is really what pushes me to success i've seen in the past.
My goal is to lose 20 kilo within 8 months . My biggest challenge i would say is consistency in working out and meal prep. being a mom of 7 and accumulated baby weight. i have good knowledge in fitness and healthy eating but i seem to be putting myself last with no one to answer to.... when i try to hide from pictures i know its gone too far....

anyone interested in an accountability partner that we can help each other reach each others goal. i am very dedicated when i know someone is counting on me and hope the other person can reciprocate.

As Nike says....let do it!!!😎

Hi Ladies!!

I’m so ready to claim my shape back! I’m tired of wearing baggy shirts to hide that I still have a belly (33 months pp).

I would like to start working out just lacking the motivation..... any tips or suggestions?

katashalouise

Hi, I’m determined to get back in shape/lose my pregnancy weight. Just had my second child 4 weeks ago and want to lose 30lbs+ and just get fitter/healthier in general

gracetipikin

Hi! Im pretty new here...how do i officially join this group?
Have 3 kiddos-birth mom to youngest 2- ages 2 and 11months.
I've gone from 175 to about 147 so far. Would be great to be 135 again.
I'm still nursing but have been counting calories and trying to work out about 5 times a week. Been focusing on core strength and losing my "momma belly"
My youngest was a 10 pounder and born late so im pretty stretched out!☺

I totally get it! running around the house with Littles all day...working out is about the last thing i want to do.
I hate running so I like the walk at home videos.
Dance That Walk by Gina B is a great series. she has workouts from about 10 minutes to 45 minutes so you do what you feel up to and have time for.
I had good results using them I lost about 20lb.
Now I'm using an app called Lose Belly Fat
It's a 30 day 15 minute workout plan 3 days on 1 day off- you burn around 290-375 calories per workout.
You can do it!

Hi ladies,
Count me in! I’m an older mum (I turn 43 in a few weeks!) of 2 boys (1 and 3). I’ve been slowly losing weight (I’m down to about 62.5kg), and want to get to 60kg. The last kgs are hard! I’m 172cm.
I’m tandem feeding and found I just ate so much trying to cope! I live in a constant state of sleep deprivation which doesn’t help my eating!
I find regular weight check ins or weekly progress photo buddies have helped me in the past, so feel free to add me as a friend.
I’m also in a few diet bets (I have to reach 60kg by 1st June), which has helped me stay on track.
I’ve also signed up for MUTU but struggle to find the time so really only doing the posture stuff for now. I hate my tummy and want it flat again!

dlingafelt24

Count me in!

I have an 8 year old daughter whom I lost the baby weight plus 20 pounds a year after she was born. Then I had two boys (now 5 and 2) and I’m really missing my body before.

Feel free to add me! We are in this together!!

Natheera

Is this thread still going? I'd like to join, I gave birth to twins last year (they turn 1 this may) and I have a 6 yr old and 4 Yr old (yep 4 kids all up 😂). I've just turned 30 so I can't be so laid back with my diet. I am a sugar addict! I'm 162cm and currently 65kg-was 75kg when I have birth so I've lost 10kg so far.. Although too slow for my liking, taking a year! My aim is 57kg, but will be happy to reach 60. I am still breastfeeding my twins and with covid, I haven't been gymming, and haven't been working out at home either! Please motivate me!

mimiyo1980

Hi mum's! This is exactly the group I was looking for!
Im looking for accountability, support and some mamma company while I lose my last 10kg. 2 kiddos under 5, also moved to a new continent with a newborn, turning 40 in 3 months (yikes!) And feel like my body is like a bowl of jelly!

I've lost over 20kg on MFP over the years and after both pregnancies.

ranganayakee

Please add me in as well. Long time lurker. Used MFP to lose over 25 kg for my elder one.
The fat and the scale refuses to budge post pregnancy number 2 and I am about 8 kg away from my target weight.

Looking for recipe ideas (am a veggie) and home workout ideas as well (regularly do HASFit, Jillian Michaels)

AnneMP1977

Hi ladies,
Just a quick update.
Thanks for those who have added me as a friend, I’ll send you a message after I comment here!
I’m down a bit more- 61.85kgs / 136.4lbs.
I’m enjoying mutu system but it really is all about core /flat stomach and not burning lots of calories. I’m only at the end of week 2 (I don’t do it everyday) but I’m already feeling a slight improvement in my tummy.
I’m still not walking. As soon as I do it flares up my coccyx pain (which I hadn’t felt since 2017 - took about a year to settle after my first), so I’m either doing something wrong or my core isn’t strong enough. 🤷‍♀️
