By work, I mean getting to work on our bodies but it could also mean those juggling a job AND new baby! :wink:

Hi guys! :happy:

Being part of the "Preggo Platform" for the duration of my pregnancy, I wanted to start a thread to help motivate those that have had a baby or will soon and need that extra motivation to get back to work on their healthy lifestyles.

As of today, I am twelve days postpartum. I am trying to wait until my 6 week check-up to really know where my new starting point is. With all the craziness following the birth of a new baby (including figuring out how to nurse and care for the new baby plus my three year old), I am trying to go easy on myself and not expect TOO much yet! I can't even work out well until 6-8 weeks because of the c-section.

So, just wanted to get this thread started. Hopefully it can give that extra support to those in the same position and if you aren't pregnant and just want the motivation of women who ARE successful with pregnancy and with getting their bodies back, feel free to join in as well!

    This is from this past Tuesday, September 14th. 10 days postpartum. I haven't weighed yet but I think I have about 20 lbs of work to do to get back to my pre-preggo weight. I just feel too soft! I think being able to work out again will help a lot!! :wink: :smile:
