    Im glad im not alone ladies! i thought about joining curves but the one close to my house isnt open at any convenient times for me so i thought i would try to do it on my own (and save money in the process lol). what are some of the things that yall are doing to help lose the weight? switched to whole wheat? cut out the sweets? only drink water? my weakness is pepsi so unfortunately that has been my guilty pleasure, i figure a little reward every now and then helps lol.

    I need to lose baby weight as well, but mine are 6 and 4 so I guess its better late than never! Good luck to you on your journey! I've noticed for me to actually "work out" I have to do something I like! So I go rollerskating while my kids ride their bikes or take a walk with my husband! I also love "The Biggest Loser" so I bought some of their DVD's, they kick your butt!

    My baby is 8 weeks old today- I"ve been working on losing the weight for the last 2 weeks--- I started by working on my calories (if you are breastfeeding make sure you get no less than 1800 a day) and if you're bfing you should not lose more than a pound or 2 a week. I'm exercising 6 days a week-- 3 days a week with a trainer (core work, aerobics, kickboxing type stuff) and 3 days a week walking/jogging, last week I lost 2 pounds, I weigh in tomorrow for this week. I had been working on losing weight before I got preggo and had lost 54ish pounds then, so it feels good to be back at it! There are lots of us on here that I've seen on the message boards so you are not alone!

    Karot32 I'm exactly the same! I've lost 16lbs but I'm at 155 now, my baby is 1 on Saturday, I've lost the baby weight too, but I want to lose the weight I've put on before I had her. Myself and my husband are trying sooo hard, my motivation is not so great, I'm kind of maintaining instead of losing at the moment.... need a kick. :-(

    annaruiz, I've just made it a way of life, rather than a diet, cos I think if you tell yourself you can't have something you really really want it... I love Pepsi and I have to have one every day. I've just tried eating low fat and low sodium. The recipe builder on the site is really good for working out meals. I use the baby as exercise too, I take her out walking in her stroller and that's helped me get more cals to eat, I can't survive on 1280, it's too little for me. I try and drink lots of water too!!! :-)

    Hello Everyone,
    I am also trying to lose my baby weight, he is 3 months old, but I have been trying to lose baby weight for 6 yrs. Since he is my last baby, hopefully I can get down to a healthy weight.
