HI. I am a new mom! (first baby, now 3 months old).
I had a c-section and am only now really starting to feel comfortable with working out intensely...although so hard to find time to get away from baby to do that.
I have 5-7 lbs to lose to get back to my pre-baby weight and 10lbs to lose after that to get to my goal weight.

I am breastfeeding exclusively. Not sure exactly how many daily calories to consume to lose weight but also not diminish milk supply. I am aiming for about 1700 a day now and will see how it works.

I'd like to excersize 4 times a week. With 2 30 min jogs and calisthetics the rest of the time.

I will update next mon/tues whether I fulfilled my goal.

Id love to join your accountability goal and this group im a mum of 3 and I struggle by myself so I think this could be the motivation I need

I would love to actively participate in this accountability group. Group participation keeps me motivated. I'm just getting started, again! But I'm in for the life changing experience!

Hello Moms, I have 2 year old twin boys and need to get my body back. I am currently 175 with a goal weight of 150 dream weight of 135 . I use MFP with my Fitbit Force. It seem to be going well. I started Jan9 so its still early. I try to get 10 steps a day and at least 30 very active minutes.

Hello, I am not a new mom....in fact, I am 55 years old and will be 56 in about 4 months. I exercise at least 5 days a week and I try my best to eat healthy. I want to join this accountability group because I like being motivated. I post my foods (usually) and my exercise on my facebook page to help keep myself motivated. I like to dance and I try to be very active. I am determined to be healthy!

Hey hun, well I have done so much research and tried so many things myself and been to nutritionist when I was pregnant because of gestational diabetes and now am taking medical classes and diet and nutrition is part of those. There is a ton of science that goes into eating etc and that only unfortunately gets more technical when trying to lose weight. You must diet to see good results, especially once you are closer to your goal. The more you have to lose the faster you will lose it. But if you dont diet this is a different eating habit than just a lifestyle, than you will be working out and not seeing many results after awhile and that kills motivation. Diet is 80% of weight loss, exercise etc is only 20%. You can decrease so many more calories consumed than you can burn working out. Also, try to throw in some strength training it doesn't have to be lifting weights right away but at least try to add lunges, squats and other resistance/strength exercises as research and people have shown that those who do strength training with cardio loses fat faster and longer than those who just only do cardio, plus you have plateaus you got to think about here. If you run 2-3 times a week and do the rest of the week strength training with at least one rest day you will see better results AND you burn calories longer as well. I am doing T25, it is cardio and strength mixed in one, 5 days a week for only 25 mins. For all mothers who have little time on their hands I suggest this workout. Good luck.
