Losing Baby Weight

I'm in too. I just had a baby by c-section on October 9th. So my abs are shot, and i dont enjoy wearing maternity clothes when i'm not pregnant anymore. Before getting pregnant i weighed around 125 and now i'm at 149. I went to my first pilates class today which i found nearly impossible to do because i have such a weak core now. I'd like to get back to fitting in my old clothes again, and I have a feeling that with holidays around the corner it's going to be an extra challenge!
I had my c-section on October 3rd!!! Yay for October babies!0 -
Hi girls.
A chaotic day. a lot of visits, and I almost didn't eat. I just had no time.
1. pears apples bananas
2. yoghurt
3. a few slices bacon.
No cardio or any workout.:sad:
That's outrageous.
Tomorow 5 healthy and rich meals. and a lot of cardio.0 -
This week hasn't gone as good as I would like. I got a sick baby so I haven't gotten but one workout this week. I have manage to keep my eating under control which is great if I could just have some time to workout.
When one of my kids is sick, I am almost paralised. Ioose all my routines, everything I do is watching my baby. Maybe I shouldn't be a paranoic, but I can't help myself.

today was an ugh day! we had a night and most of today with no kids, we slept till almost 3pm! then we went and ate saltgrass steak house. needless to say i went over my calories with my ONE meal ive eaten today. haha. back in the gym tomorrow tho.
hope everyone had a nice weekend.0 -
I'm in!
I looked great my whole pregnancy...and even after I had my daughter (15 months ago) I looked pretty good. But I gained all my weight staying at home with her and continuing my pregnancy eating habits without exercising. I've been back to my normal working routine since June and now am finally ready to really work towards losing at least 20-25 lbs. I plan on having more children (the sooner the better) and just don't want these lbs to keep stacking up!
Hopefully, if I do awesome at getting back in shape.......it will get my husband motivated!0 -
Glad to see this topic. I had the baby 8 days ago. Even though I am not supposed to work out for 6 weeks, I did cheat a little bit tonight. I couldnt resist the new boxing bag my dh bought for me. I did twenty punches. I have not weighed myself in the past few days so I will do that tomorrow. I know for sure I lost how much the baby weighed. lol luckily I didn't gain to much weight when I was pregnant but I was already obese to begin with.0

Good Morning Ladies! Its Monday time to weigh in or it is for me at least. So I got up today stepped on the scale and it said 133.8. So either my starting weight (137) was wrong or my scale is wrong. I'm going to reweigh tomorrow and see what I get. I would love to be 133.8 but I find it a little hard to believe. Do you weigh in the same time every week? Maybe thats my problem weighting in at different times. Well I hope you all have good luck with the scale today.0

Good morning,
I'm waiting for my scale, and I will post my cw too.
RockNRollWeekend , it was my fault too that I gained so much weight post partum. But I have a little excuse :blushing: .Till now it was a chalenge even to reach bathroom, with DS always in my arms.0 -
GOOD morning ladies! WOW...I'm so glad we've got such a crowd on here! I really didn't expect so many people to join me!:bigsmile: So...today is what I'm calling my starting day! Here's the stats...
11/23/09
Start weight: 191 pounds
Current weight: 191 pounds
Pounds lost: 0
Goal for week 1: Lose 1 pound (I was going to make it 2, but with Thanksgiving I will hope for at least 1)
Final goal weight: 145 pounds
Personal Challenge for week 1: Make smart choices for both my Thanksgiving dinners and my baby's baptismal celebration on Saturday!
So, this weekend went pretty good for me. I went running outside on Saturday (it was such a nice day that I couldn't resist!) I have a two mile path that I go, and with the dogs (I have two brittanys) I think I went at a decent pace. I'm hoping to still get some more runs outside before it gets too cold. I'm going to go to the gym tonight to run on the treadmill some.
Shamm08...I do try and weight myself at the same time every week under the same conditions. So, for me it's always Monday morning after breakfast and a shower while I'm naked. That way it should be fairly consistent. Just my opinion.
vipersgirl...be careful since you JUST had your little one. You don't want to cause any problems that could put you out from exercising even longer. I would start with walking.
I have an idea. It's always hard for me to get to know everyone we have on these threads. So, I'm going to start another post with a little bit about myself. Maybe everyone could copy mine and add onto it. That way we have a post with a little bit about everyone that we can refer to.0 -

Kristin (kistinbee)...I am 26 and just had my first daughter on September 5, 2009 by C-section. I am married with 2 dogs and 2 cats also. I work fulltime as a research associate and I'm wanting to lose the extra weight and work towards becoming certified to teach spinning and BodyPump classes!0 -
I weighed myself this morning and it was
282.6
my prepregnancy pants fit though. So I feel better. My anklet barely fits. I have not tried my rings on yet.
As soon as I lose a little more weight I can then concentrate on losing what I gained with the 2 year old. lol0 -

Hannah (Hannah_Banana)... I'm 21 and had my first child, Wesley in Sept of 07. I'm married with 2 dogs and I run my own full-time business from home, as well as invest in real estate. I have my MBA that I probably won't ever get to use because I never want to 'go to work' every day again! I'm thinking about going back to school for accounting or tax law, but even that sounds like too much work.
For exercise, I play Dance Dance Revolution, use the bowflex but I reeeeeally want one of those nifty spin bike/elliptical machines you can stick under your desk, since I have to sit at the comp several hours a day.

Pick me! I had my baby in April, and have not lost a flippin' pound! I had GD, so I gained more than I should have even on insulin. After my first 3 babies, I got back down to 115lbs. After my last two, I'm at 185lbs, and depressed. NOthing seems to work, and I give up often.....
I would very much like to join the group if that is ok....

Susan (susanecho)...I'm 31 and had my first baby on 8/3/09 via c-section. I am currently working full-time as a nurse and married to an awesome husband who is not quite ready to work-out with me yet, but tells me how great I'm doing and that he's proud of me. We have a beautiful daughter and a cute puppy. I want to lose this weight before having my next baby. I'm actually only 10lbs heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight, but was overweight to begin with. My weigh-ins will be Saturdays because I don't have a scale at home and I can weigh-in at work. Glad to be apart of this great group! Happy weight loss ladies!0 -

Mina (Mina133842) real name is Corrina, but I go by Mina to friends and family. I had my first baby in January, his name is Mason. I'm married to my husband, who lost weight on his own before we got together and got married, but I've been overweight almost my whole life, and don't want my son to have a fat mom that can't do anything with him. We also have 3 cats, and I have a VERY large family (I'm #5 of 6 kids) and they're all cheering me on (even if they don't live near me). I would like to have one more baby, and will probably start "trying" for that sometime next summer, but I want to continue to become fit and active - since I never have been...0 -

Good morning gals!
Not much time to chat today...busy at work! Last night was okay. I decided to go walking with my little munchkin instead of going to the gym since the weather was great! And foodwise...let's just say I battled with the ice cream and it won! BUMMER...but it's okay. Tonight I'm going to head to the gym after work for some running on the treadmill!
Have a great morning, and I'll check back later!0 -

vipersgirl, 37 years old. I have a few kids. I started myfitnesspal before I got pregnant with the last child. I am trying to get back into the habit of putting everything I eat into myfitnesspal now that I have had her. Right now I am cleared to walk.0 -
So, this weekend went pretty good for me. I went running outside on Saturday (it was such a nice day that I couldn't resist!) I have a two mile path that I go, and with the dogs (I have two brittanys) I think I went at a decent pace. I'm hoping to still get some more runs outside before it gets too cold.

vipersgirl...be careful since you JUST had your little one. You don't want to cause any problems that could put you out from exercising even longer. I would start with walking.
Kristin, I have to agree with you. I am not even ready to go grocery shopping or xmas shopping yet. I doubt I am ready for boxing or the exercise bike yet. Its great being in my prepreggo pants0 -
Good morning girls,
I was a "saint" today. I did my workout, had a healthy breakfast and snack, and did twice massage.
I want so bad to be decent in my christmas outfit.
The day after tomorow = 2 weeks of diet cardio and massage so : pictures, measurements and weigh in.0 -
Morning ladies!
Catalina...nice job yesterday! Keep it up and you'll look FABULOUS in your Christmas outfit!
Viper...yeah, walking is a great start and gradually work your way up to more. Even once you're feeling better, there is still risk for hemhorrage at the incision sight if you over do it. But sounds like you know what you have to do!
Well, last night did not go as planned for me. I ended up running errands after work and was so busy that my husband stopped and got us fast food for dinner...YUCK! But I ate it and to tell you the truth, didn't really enjoy it! Oh well. Didn't even get time to go to the gym, so it was a total blow of a night. Tonight I won't have time either as I have to go get stuff for the baptism on Saturday (did I mention we're having our daughter baptized on Saturday?) Then tomorrow morning we leave early to drive 2 hour to Michael's grandparents. We won't get home until late, then up early and out to my parents Friday. Then Saturday is the baptism, and Sunday I'm going to a movie with my sister who's in town. So, probably won't get back to the gym until next week, but if I get a chance, I may try and get in a few brisk runs outside in the mornings. We shall see...
Well, I need to get to some work, but if I don't talk with you all again...HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!0 -
Just popping in for a quick hello! Busy busy with prepping for Thanksgiving. Last minute shopping, meal prep, house cleaning Oh My Gosh! :noway: Why did I offer to host again??
I've already got my Thanksgiving meal planning out - total calorie count (for the main meal) - 390 calories. The secret? I'm not making any of my favorite dishes, including desserts (thank goodness I don't like pie).
And with all this running around and prepping my bodybugg should show a higher than average calorie burn. Holidays don't scare me! :devil:0 -
Nice planning Hannah! Too bad I don't host the meals. Everywhere we go will be packed with high calorie foods. I am the only person who's ever dieting! Oh well...0

Hello girls,
Been doing pretty well working out this week. I've been doing Tae Bo at home. I snuck in a weigh in just to see how I was doing before my real weigh in on Saturday and I lost 1/2 pound. Better than nothing, I guess the slower the loss, longer it will be sustained, rather than losing a lot all at once (even though secretly that would be so nice) :laugh: I'm going to try something new this year for Thanksgiving. I've never done this before, but I'm thinking about eating at home before we go to our friend's house. I will eat a "safe" meal. It will be something I prepare at home and know exactly what is in it and know the calories. Then I won't feel like I have to eat everything on the table at the dinner. Let's see how that goes. It sounds good in theory, but all the wonderful smells may overpower me. Have a great Thanksgiving!0
