Before, during, and after baby

Hi all, just wanted to share my so-far success to keep me motivated to that ultimate goal- getting back to prebaby body.
A few years ago, I weighed 190 lbs, and decided that I did not want to be in that kind of shape if I got pregnant. So I worked hard, ate well and lost 50 lbs (140 lbs) . When I got pregnant I made it my goal to stay in shape so I would feel great after the baby came, and not have a zillion lbs to lose. So I gained about 35 lbs and at 40 + weeks delivered a little girl. I felt great after, and looked almost like the old me. I was back at the gym 4 weeks later, and back at hockey and soccer 6 weeks later. I took a trip to florida 2 month later and felt confident and happy in my bikini... Even though I feel like I am in even better shape than before the baby, I still am holding onto some thigh and butt fat lol. 10 lbs to be back to my pre-baby weight, and hoping after I am done breastfeeding it will finally come off. So anyway to motivate myself, and maybe some of you I posted some before , after, during pregnancy, and after lol... enjoy !

This is depressing! I wish I had lost my weight BEFORE having my first kid. But I will before having my second and I'm already 25 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight. You look amazing.0

fantastic!!!! that just goes to show how much it really does help to be strong, fit and it shape pre-baby!!!! ..that's actually one of the big reasons why i'm trying so hard to get super strong and fit now as hubby and i want to start trying soon. 0

Well done such great progress. Can I ask how tall you are?0
-
Geez! You must be tall… girl, you didn't look bad at 190, you rocked 140, looked BEAUTIFUL pregnant, and … seriously… you had that little baby and you look like that? AWESOME!0

Wow that is so similar to what I want to. I was 191.8 at my highest and wanted to lose before getting pregnant. I'm down to 168.7 right now and would like to be 150 before getting pregnant!0

Wow you look amazing. Ive had 3 children and even though i only have about 8lbs to go till what i weighed before children, my tummy will never be the same again

Wow....You look amazing. Great job looking that good 2 months after having the baby. I, and this is my own personal statement I know its hard to lose the pregnancy weight, but I feel too many woman use it as an excuse. I have come across women who have said this but their child was already 3 years of age.
BTW you look good at 190 and look amazing at 1400 -
That is wonderful! I had to be on bed rest and keep feet up due to my blood pressure...so I gained a ton of weight (5'8 149 pds to 225 at delivery, dropped to 179 after breast feeding) 14 years ago that I a still trying to get off! Breast feeding burns calories like crazy and your active so keep up the good work!0
-
Keep up the hard work! U look great! Breastfeeding burns a lot of calories and will help you lose if you do it right. I went back to my prepregnancy weight 4 mos after baby #3 with breastfeeding and some good ole fashion discipline:-)0
-
You look amazing!!!0
-
You look amazing!!! You are an example of the exact reason why I'm trying to get in shape NOW so that when I do get pregnant I can carry on with my routine until my body tells me to stop and then pick right back up afterwards... Thank you!!!0

Girl, I think I hate you! (JUST KIDDING!) I wish I looked like you after having a baby. I didn't even look like that BEFORE having a baby. LOL You look FABULOUS! Keep up the good work, hun!
