Struggling to lose baby weight

kirstyauld

I had a beautiful baby girl 10months ago :-) i ate every day like i was at a all you can eat buffet and now i'm paying the price. I gained 5 stone while pregnant and have 1.5 still to lose to get back to my pre-baby weight. I dont normally write on these kind of things, but im desperate for help/support. I love keeping fit and i don't think i'm eating anymore than i did before baby.

Hi! I'm also trying to lose baby weight, but my baby is 2.5 years old lol. I didn't think I was eating that much either, until I started logging everyday. But I find for me personally what I am eating is important as how much I'm eating.

Feel free to add me for some added support!

How much is 5 stone???

I'm still struggling to lose the last 28 pounds. I have 14 to get to pre-baby weight, and 28 to get to pre-pre baby weight. (Gained 14 lbs of stress before I found out I was pregnant)
My baby is 27 months old.

Feel free to add me if you like. My baby weight started at 189? And it's been a long hard journey!

I gained 50, and if you add the extra gain before, that's a total of 64 pounds gained... You can do it!

I can so relate. I had a high risk, complicated pregnancy with my 2 year old son, and I am still struggling to get to a weight I can be happy about. Having trouble breaking through a 70 kg barrier to where I want to be (low to mid 60s). It seems harder to lose than it was a few years ago...maybe as I get older I have to work harder for results. Anyway, I'm not giving up...life is too short to not be happy in your skin and I want to live a long life to be here for my little man. I wish you all well!

Water, and cutting out all junk foods. I can't eat a chocolate bar with in my calories and still lose weight, it just doesn't work for me.

i totally agree, life is too short to be unhappy in your skin.
