in Success Stories
Hey everyone,

I started mfp about 7 weeks ago, 2 months post partum.
On the way I kept an okay diary, went for long brisk walks and sometimes for a run, took a fitness class for moms once a week and did some parts of that exercise routine at home every once in a while. My goal is to work out 30 minutes every day, most of the work outs are taking our baby on brisk walks in the hilly park right next to our apartment.

So far I've lost 8 pounds and when my husband took new pictures of me today, I realized that you can already see a difference!
It might be a little early to post this as a "success story" but I am so exited that I am losing my pregnancy pounds :D

I still have a long way to go but taking pictures every 8 or so pounds is very very motivating.

Keep up the great work everyone and remember that every pound matters! :)

    Keep up the good wrk :) I could relate to you. I had my second baby in October and gained about 50 lbs. I couldn't believe I had gained all thay weight being that with my fist pregnancy I only gained 30 lbs. I starded working out in January and went from 175lbs to 150lbs. Dnt give up u can do it :)

    And as for "small progress", pfft, it's still progress and you can't get bigger losses without the "small" ones :-D

    Awesome - I bet your measurements are much more drastic than the scales. It's a very noticeable difference. Well done!
