Any older moms( gave birth in 30's-40's)success stories?

Hi !! When did you have your (last???) child/how old were you? I had my last child at the age of 35. I have had 4 kids!

How much did you lose and how long did it take to get rid of the weight? I had to lose 20 lbs..mainly of stomach weight. It only took me 2+ months to do it!

How did you lose the weight (what types of food and exercises, etc. did you do)? I did an exercise program called Insanity by beachbody back in March of 2012. It was all or nothing for me so I went hard core to do this! I also used MFP at the same time watching what I ate. My diary is public so you can check it out.

How long have you kept if off? I have kept it off since June of 2012 and still going strong! I currently am working out to P90X. I stuck with beachbody because it was the only thing that worked for me.

What are you doing to maintain? I religiously used MFP. and I work out pretty much everyday when my 2.5 yr old sleeps

Feel free to add me

I have two boys, 15 months apart in age. I was 34 when my younger son was born, and I was 180+ for a couple of years after. I am now to to 150! I lost 30 lbs since the beginning of the year. For the 1st 100 days, I worked out every single day, burning at least 500 calories a day, and I religiously stayed under my calorie goal. If I wanted to eat more, I burned more. I joined fitness challenges on here, and using Beachbody DVD's at home, I won two challenges! The first 20 lbs were lost doing Rockin' Body, then the next 10 was with the TurboFire program. I'm now doing a P90x/TurboFire hybrid, and I hope to tackle Insanity soon. I've been stuck at this weight for 3 months now, because I have gotten lax with counting the calories, so I'm trying my damnedest to get back into it! I turn 40 in December, and I want to be on hot momma when that day comes! Working on toning up and losing perhaps another 10-15 if I can get that number to go down at all!

You other mommas are so amazing! 100+ lbs?!?! WHAT?!? Rock stars!!

I haven't read any replies, but here's my story.

When did you have your (last???) child/how old were you? I had my youngest child at 35, currently 38 years old.

How much did you lose and how long did it take to get rid of the weight? When she was 18 months old, I started exercising. It took me about 9 months to lose the weight.

How did you lose the weight (what types of food and exercises, etc. did you do)? I did 30DS and started C25K, when I finished that I ran 3-4 miles a day 4 or 5 days a week. I continued to do JM workouts 1 or 2 days a week.

How long have you kept if off? Over a year.

What are you doing to maintain? Mainly running 3-4 miles a day (upping it a bit lately for a 10K I registered for), still doing JM once or twice a week.

When did you have your (last???) child/how old were you? I had my son when I was 36. (I'm 37 now.)

How much did you lose and how long did it take to get rid of the weight? From just before I had him to now, I've lost 55 pounds. (He weighed 7. )

How did you lose the weight (what types of food and exercises, etc. did you do)? Watching my food intake, EXERCISE. And simply moving around more. He keeps me on my feet.

How long have you kept if off? I'd like to lose 10 more pounds.

What are you doing to maintain? n/a

GOOD LUCK!

Any older moms (moms who've had children later in life, ya know...late 30's & into your 40's) success stories? I'd love to hear the "411" on how you did it???

Thanks in advance for your replies! :flowerforyou:

I have had 5 children, I was between 30-39. I gained weight with every pregnancy, maybe an extra 10-15 lbs (aside from the actual pregnancy weight), except for my third...I was slim. I would lose it mostly after the pregnancy, and all of it after I stopped nursing.

My last pregnancy I gained a lot, as the pregnancy was a "surprise." I didn't prepare myself, and I never got ahead of it, so to speak. Normal weight for me has been 140lbs, but I was about 180 post partum!

I am in process of losing that weight, which is okay with me, as I do have fitness and a healthy lifestyle. It will come off:) I am currently 158, have adopted weight lifting, and am looking to be at about 22%bf or so, and whatever that weight will be:)
