Other mommas trying to shed baby weight?

mrsholloman12

Hi, I'm 23 mom of one baby girl who is now 2 and 1/2 months old. Trying to lose 10/15 pounds I gained 45 pounds while pregnant lost 38 3 weeks after she was born! I'm currently at 130 and trying to get back to 115 (what I weighed in high school). Feel free to add me if you'd like I'm very supportive and friendly!

Right there with you! I just had my first, but he is now 7 months old... and I've STILL got 20 lbs. to drop. It's not all baby weight, I had gained about 15 lbs after I got married, and then I got pregnant - so I really only have about 5 lbs. of baby weight to lose and then another 15 on top of that Best of luck to you - getting the motivation to do anything is the hardest part for me. No time and no energy :-\

Yes, mine is 3 at this point. I had a smallish pregnancy, but lost almost none of it in the first year after the baby came, maybe 8 lbs of the 30. Then my life got tougher when my partner left and I basically started gaining slowly again. I joined MFP when I hit my top pregnancy weight, with no baby on board. In general my son and I are reasonably active, but my eating habits never went back to normal after I had the baby, and neither (apparently) did my metabolism, so I am working on eating healthy food but (much!!) smaller portions. I've lost about 5 lbs now, and am feeling less bloaty and somehwat happier, so this is the right path for me. Feel free to add me if you like, I only have a couple of mfp friends right now.

I am in my early 30's, I have 2 kids, I've now successfully lost my baby weight, but still have a bit to go to get where I want. Add me if you are still looking.

Hi, my son just turned 9 months. I lost all of my baby weight about 2 weeks after I had him but my problem is the weight that I had before I got pregnant with him lol. A year before I got pregnant with my son I was pregnant and miscarried and gained weight rapidly with that baby. I am 5'2 and a half and I am trying to lose about 23lbs from my previous pregnancy. This is my 2nd week consistently and I feel great. #wecandoit!

Yep, I"m still trying to shed a lot of baby weight... my oldest is 8 and my youngest will be 3 next month. I put on 64lbs with my 1st and lost some but never got back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I was over 200 when I got pregnant w/ my 2nd and my doctor did not want me to gain a lot of weight... I gained an addtional 22lbs. I started this journey heavier then I was when I had my youngest and I have a long way to go till I get back to my pre-pregnancy weight!! You can add me if you like.

Yes! I had a C-section January 4th! I gained 60ish pounds and have probably 5-8 to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but need to add probably 5-10 in muscle to get my pre-pregnancy shape back (if that is even possible)!!

I put on close to 70lb with my pregnancy! About 50% of my body weight! Lol! He's one now and I've lost it all and a little bit more. I'm now just wanting to lose another 10lb to get smack bamg in thr middle of the healthy bmi. I lost two stone without trying in the first 8 weeks then got stuck. I stayed the same for 6 months then went for hypnotherapy. I know it's cheating a bit but it's worked and since November 2011 I've lost 34lb. I've lost 22 since using mfp. I still find it hard at times but if I want chocolate, I'll have some. Just not a family size bar like I used to! All in moderation. Anyone's free to add me!
