Hot Mamas????

weldinchic

I'm 3 months post-partum and searching for some motivation! Any mamas out there want to share their success stories to motivate this new mama who's exhausted and feeling frumpy?

I'm a hot 43 y o mama! It took a while though! I put on 5 stone when I was preggers which is 70 pounds, then did silly silly dieting to lose it. Wish I'd found this place years ago.

Are you breast feeding?

weldinchic

I am! Since my kiddo arrived, I've lost 20 pounds. There's so much more to lose though!

And BTW: Killer definition!! You look amazing!

I had my daughter at 35. I gained 62 lbs and had a c section. I'm 40 now and I think I look pretty hot. I'm still attracting plenty of men (some in their 20s- omg)

Hey Mama, im in the process of being a hot mama again, started MFP when my second boy was 5 weeks old, was feeling sooooo jiggly and gross, have lost 13 lb and he's now 4 months old, have got out of all the maternity clothes and so glad I started. Most of that I did on diet alone so if your feeling too tired to exercise dont stress, the weight will come off

I'll just say don't try and cut too much while you're feeding, it's a precious time. There's a few threads about calorie needs. My poor bunny suffered a bit because of my silly dieting.

totally agree on not dieting too hard during BFing. My supple took a nose dive when I started dieting. So I gave up dieting, made better food choices and continued to exercise. I didn't lose anything while BFing but once she weened at 11 months, I dropped 20 lbs immediately without even trying. For me, BFing was like being in a permanent state of PMS but again, I was an "older" mom so maybe that had something to do with it.

no I was the the same as a young mama. I lost the initial weight, but then my body didn't want to lose anything. But after I stopped breastfeeding it all came off. I don't regret bfing for one minute of the two years I spent breastfeeding my two kids. I just wish I had given myself a pass and hadn't stressed the weight. It was frustrating. I lose so much more now that my body is my own. It may take me until my kids are 6 and 5, but I'm going to be a super hot mama.

I had my son on May 30th 2013, Down 61 pounds (Was 200)still have aout 15/20 to go, not worried about the number on the scale because my body has been getting toned but its possible, BUT CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO LOSE THE C-SECTION POUCH lol my first child was natural but my May baby was a emergency c-ection.

My 5th daughter is 7 months old, I have lost 50 pounds from the day I had her! My profile pic shows before pregnancy, during pregnancy and 2 weeks ago. It's hard battle and I'm a work In progress but I FEEL AMAZING! I've been back to work full time since she was 7 weeks old so I've had to be creative in getting my workouts in, like I have gone to a track with baby in stroller and let my other kids push her while I run up to 20 laps! Boring? Yes! But I got my workout in! I'm a new runner and love it, so if you ever need some words of encouragement friend me I'll will be glad to help!

Not sure I'd consider myself a "hot mama," BUT I definitely look much better than I did.



The first pic is from St. Patrick's Day 2012. The last pics are from this past Christmas. I achieved a 35 lb. loss through diet ALONE. I breastfed my daughter until she was 18 months, then started dieting 2 months later, and I lost the first 20 lbs. within the first 6 months!

Now, I'm on to address the thigh/butt issues. Weight training is ON, as of 12/24/13. :bigsmile:

I had my youngest a year ago (on the 26th) and I'm the same weight from when I got married 5 years ago. I weighed in around 210 when I gave birth a year ago (he was 10.4 pounds). And I'm currently 163. Pre baby I was 183. My goal is 145-150 and I'm 5'9". I'm feeling pretty hot! Lol. If I knew how to add pics I would!

You are a hot mama!! Lol. I want to look like you

I had my boys 13 months apart and gained 70 pounds with the first one. That was all still there pretty much after I had the second one, so I spent a year working out and working on my food to develop a healthier lifestyle. I lost the weight and have kept the majority of it off for the last 18 years. I'm a 41 year old mama now and likely to be a grandma within the next two years.

The smallest I ever was before having kids was a size 8 (in my 20s). I'm in my 30s with 2 kids and am now down to a size 4. I gained 37lbs with my first child, lost over 40 lbs by the time he was a year old (no dieting, just bfing and cardio); I gained 35lbs with my second child, lost just under 40 lbs by the time she was a year old (again, bfing and cardio).

My youngest will be 3 next week...I've lost an additional 10 lbs in that time by joining a gym and starting to lift weights. I dunno...I think I'm pretty hot...and people guess I'm 25/26 all of the time...I'll be 34 next month.

I am 8.5 months post partum and am back to my pre pregnancy weight. I feel stronger than ever but I still have belly pooch and it is sooo frustrating!! Working on losing a few more pounds and hopefully the pooch will get better. Its hard work but if you commit, you can totally do it!

unhgoose

I was the same way. Any dieting just killed my supply, so I made healthy choices and exercised regularly and barely lost any weight 'til my girls weaned. Once I was done BFing the weight came off a lot easier.

I put a few pounds back on in Nov / December, but in 2013 I was at my lowest adult weight and it was awesome. And this is after having two kids. It's totally attainable. Finding time to exercise and making good food choices isn't always easy with the little ones but you can do it. Just remember to be kind to yourself.

I'm 6 weeks PP with my first and breastfeeding. Gained 51 lbs during pregnancy I've lost 32 and have 19 to go until I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I want to lose a bit more than that though!

It's a slow process, so just keep that in mind. Breastfeeding alone can burn up to 500 calories a day for some moms! I lost ALL of my baby weight breadlstfeeding then went on to loose about 15 more through diet and exercise after I weaned my youngest. I've been working out and eating well for two years and really do look better than I did in high school. Just don't drop your calories too low or your supply will suffer. Good luck!

I'm an older mama-my kids are 5, 7, and 9 (all 22 months a part ).

Completely agree. That hourglass shape and pretty face? Total hot mama.

TheFitHooker

I think I'm getting hotter the older I get lol. I'm a mom of a 10 year old boy and 3 yr old girl. Both were had by C-sections.

weldinchic

Oh my gosh! You are all hot mamas!! I dread the thought of plateauing until she's weaned. I will get this off. I need to focus on cardio for sure and I know it will get easier! Thanks for the inspiration ladies!
