in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! New mommy here and trying to lose all the baby weight plus SOME. I've lost about 30 so far and am looking to lose another 25! Just wanted to introduce myself and see if anyone else is in the same boat!

    Hi. I have a 1 yr old. I think we are in the same boat. I've lost 40 pounds + since my daughter was born I'm looking to lose about 20 more. I've actually lost 15 under my pre baby weight. Still trying to tone everything back up!

    Wow that's great! I'm about 7 or 8 away from my weight at my first OB appointment at 8 weeks, but I'm sure I had gained 5 before I even got to the doctor's (I know, I don't know how with all the throwing up). So like 12 away from pre-pregnancy, but got pregnant at my all time high weight! Bad idea.

    I got pregnant right after I decided I needed to loss some weight... great timing for that lol. I am below pre pregnancy now but still have a ways to go.

    Add me if you would like.

    Hi, I'm also a new mommy! I have a two month little girl and I am breastfeeding. I want to try to get healthier but not hurt my milk supply, so I will be taking things slowly. I've lost about 30 lbs since having her, but I think a lot was water weight (I became really swollen the last week of pregnancy). I have about 10 lbs to lose to get to pre pregnancy weight, but would really like to lose 15-20 lbs. Good luck to everyone!

    I have a five month old. I am at pre pregnancy weight but have much more to lose. I wanted to lose before I got pregnant but the plan didn't work that way.

    I have an eleven week old and gained 60 pounds and only lost 20 when he was born. My first spoiled me I lost every pound as soon as she was born so I didn't really watch what I ate. I have a long road ahead of me because I love food and have very little motivation. Oh and I hate water it only makes me more thirsty. Do you guys have any helpful advice? I am going to the gym about 5 days a week but only burning about 250 calories right now.

    I'm a new mom as well. I also got pregnant at my heaviest weight so even though I've lost a good 20lbs, I still have quite a ways to go. My son is 3 months old and I haven't been able to lose much since we came home from the hospital! What gives! Not what I was expecting, that's for sure.

    @putaskipinmys - No worries, me too! I didn't start TRYING to lose weight until my baby was 3ish months old. I didn't have time and was too stressed to think about it! Definitely way more work than what i thought. i started by walking with the baby whenever she let me out of the house. 10 minutes, anything! I found that she enjoyed looking at things outside and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, just took lots of effort to get out of the house.

    @sheri833 - 250 calories being burned everyday is a lot! Pat yo self on the back cause that's good. I keep telling myself, took 9 months to gain so it's going to take me at least that much to lose.

    @hotmomma0612 - congrats!

    @Lorelai23 - wow, congrats to you! My baby is 5.5 months and I've got like 10-12 to get to pre-pregnancy.
