I just had a baby 4 months ago (Nov 30th, 2009) and am trying to kick this mommy body to the curb!

I've got 21lbs left... Looking for people in the same boat :D

    I'm in the same boat. I had twins 5 months ago and I gained a lot of weight. I joined a gym this week and a weight loss class starting Tuesday!

    I was on bedrest for most of my pregnancy )22weeks + and then 6 weeks post partum, too!

    This is HARD work. I've had 3 other children prior to this one and it was never this hard!

    Congratulations!

    My baby is 6 months old and I am hard at it with P90X! I'm eager to get to my pre-baby #1 weight, or at least lose some fat and gain some muscle!

    im there with you as well my son is 81/2 months old and it took me 8 months just to lose 7 lbs. i tried the whole curves workout didnt do much but make me gain more weight by gaining muscle.doing the diet as much as possible while still maintaining lots of milk for my growing boy. now i do a body boot camp 3 days a week and that is what helped me lose the 7 lbs..so i only have 62 more lbs to go to get back down to my pre baby pre husband weight. ouch!

    I'm in the same boat! But I only had my daughter four weeks ago. I thought it was best to start early as possible, because I put a ridiculous amount of weight on in pregnancy.

    I had my 3rd child 9 months ago and it was really hard for me to lose the weight. What has helped me to lose it all and plus more was P90X, and now I'm doing Insanity. It really works!!!!!

    Hi! My baby is now 2, and I was able to get off all the baby weight after using mfp, counting calories and upping my exercise. it wasn't easy, but i just worked really hard and lost a pound a week for several months. Now I am back because I want to lose 12 more pounds before my wedding.
    It wasn't until i made a big effort to eat enough protein and cut out the empty sugar/ bread calories that something started happening. I hope to get pregnant again soon, but don't want to gain so much weight this time (I stopped weighing myself after I had gained 60lbs)
    You can do it!.

    I had my baby 9 mo ago and this site is wonderful and you will loss the weight if you log the calories and hit the workout hard. Are you breastfeeding if you are make sure to add 300 to 500 cal to keep your milk up and eat a bit less when your baby start eats food.

    I only breast feed in the morning now :D When I breast feed my body likes to hold on to the weight rather than shed it off...

    I lost no weight as long as I was breastfeeding as well. I don't know if it was my hormones or my intense appetite or what, but even after I stopped breastfeeding the weight didn't come off until I started monitoring my calories and upping my activity level. But the hard work pays off!
