New Mommy trying to get my body back!

wesleysangel

I just had my first child in January (Nolan). I gained 36 pounds during my pregnancy, and I don't know how much I lost when I had him because I've been too scared to get on a scale, but I know I must be around 175. The main problem is of course in my mid section. I haven't built up my abdominal muscles yet, and I have this embarrassing pooch and some stretch marks about the area size of a grapefruit (but I'm confident that they will eventually fade). I'd like to get into a bathing suit this summer and feel confident enough not to buy a tankini or a one piece...so bikini it is. Any support and friends along the way will be great. The more motivation I get from other people, the more likely I am to stick with it, and that's what I really need right now. Please add me

I completely know how you feel! My son was born last July and although I've lost the baby weight, I'm still working on losing the weight that I had gained BEFORE I became pregnant. :-) Add me too!

You can do this! After 3 kids and a LOT of weight gained, I lost 90 lbs and for the first time in my life bought a bikini!!! I'm now pregnant with my 4th but I still go to the gym 3 times a week and I haven't gained as much weight as I did with the first 3 so I'm super stoked!!! You will get back to your pre-pregnancy weight and there is SO much wonderful support and advice here to help you on your journey!
