New Mom trying to loose weight!

mdaniella

I just joined yesterday after someone told me about this site. I have always struggled with my weight going up and down..and until I got pregnant I was right at a size I liked and felt good about.. After having my daughter 4 months ago..I figured I really want to buckle down and loose the rest of my baby weight, i mean i'm loosing but seems like its taking forever and while add it some more. I'm only 19..so i'm hoping that I can get back into shape and be healthy. =]

I had baby number two 6 months ago...I am ALMOST to pre baby weight...but that was even bigger than I had ever been or wanted to be....Something about having kids makes it MUCh harder to lose weight, but when you get there you will look back and say look what I did! And I had a baby too!
It's hard, but there are a lot of REALLY supportive people on here, good luck!

Thanks!I'm hoping.. I ended up breastfeeding which they say is suppose to help you loose weight faster..but I don't feel like it helps that much in my case.... OH WELL, at least it's healthy for my daughter. My fiance is also doing this with me..even though he's in shape and doesnt have any weight to loose..but at least he's supportive! I'm hoping by tracking what i eat and what i'm doing i'll be more motivated!

Welcome to the site! This is a great place to start. I have 3 children- my youngest is 2 years old. I lost all the baby weight but then gained it all back in 1 1/2 years. I just ignored everything about my weight. This New Years I jumped on the scale and my mouth hit the floor. Then, did I made the decision to work on myself than everyone else. This year and the many years to come I need to work on me first and then everyone else. Good luck to you!

I suggest talking to my sister....Amberelaine85....She has three kids oldest is 1 and she lost like an entire person after her third and looks AMAZING! She is a great inspiration and full of advice!
