After 30...baby

jcch00

I'm 31 years old and have had 3 kids. I gained 25 lbs. w/ my first child, 50 lbs. w/ my second, and 53 lbs. w/ my third (whom I had just last May). I was able to get the baby weight off with all 3 pregnancies within the first year. It was difficult, but doable. I will say that the biggest challenge is finding the time and energy. When you're getting up all through the night and caring for a demanding newborn/infant/toddler 24/7 it is extremely difficult to find the spare time and willpower to exercise. You will have to give up workouts every now and then (especially on nights where you got very little sleep) and focus more on eating habits.
