in Getting Started
Hi All,

I've got 2 girls, an almost 3 year old and a 4 month old.
Trying to get back in shape. I've got 7 kilos to lose from my pre pregnancy weight and an additional 13 kilos, so I can get to goal weight.
I started back at the gym today - gosh it was hard work!!

Are any Mums around would like a buddy? :) I could use one. :)

I had got down to 114 at my lowest and then after college gained about 30 then when i got pregnant with my first i just couldn't lose it after that. ...at least not all of it...fast forward.....just got a membership as well and am going to try a class tomorrow either les mills body vive or Zumba one of the 2 .been reading a lot about them am excited and nervous but I know God is with me so when I want to jet He'll walk me through it. I'll be fine the hardest part is taking the first step. Done zumba befire but not in a group setting. ... that's the hard part., but you know whats "not"going to be hard about losing weight any way? It's gotta be done so just do it . No if ands or buts about it. How are you planning on starting your routine? U got Ideas yet?

    Hi
    I am a mum of two as well. I am battling to get back to my pre -preg weight. bubs is almost six months old and I need to go back to work in Jan. Not enough money to buy a new wardrobe so I have to do it!
    I'm trying to walk with bubs in a front pack, run when my hubby can watch the boys(in between feeds) and I go to a mums and bubs class once a week.

    I sent you a FR. I'm 31 with 2 kids that I gave birth to and 2 that I inherited when I married my dear sweet husband. They range from 3 to 13. I wasn't good at losing the baby weight until each of them were about 18 months old, and I'm currently in a relapse after losing the baby weight from the youngest. My ultimate goal is to lose 38lbs (17kg), and my first trip back to the gym in a year and a half was about a week ago. :)

    Hello! Sorry for not responding! I fell off the wagon big time, but I am back now.
    Small goals for me - simply because it is the only way I will have success. I think I will add an extra thing on each week, that way I'm now overwhelming myself straight away.

    This week my aim is - to drink my 8 glasses of water a day - each day! And to cut out sugar in my coffee.
    So far so good! :)

    How are you all going?
