Hot Mamas????

Hey Mama, im in the process of being a hot mama again, started MFP when my second boy was 5 weeks old, was feeling sooooo jiggly and gross, have lost 13 lb and he's now 4 months old, have got out of all the maternity clothes and so glad I started. Most of that I did on diet alone so if your feeling too tired to exercise dont stress, the weight will come off

I am! Since my kiddo arrived, I've lost 20 pounds. There's so much more to lose though!

And BTW: Killer definition!! You look amazing!

I'll just say don't try and cut too much while you're feeding, it's a precious time. There's a few threads about calorie needs. My poor bunny suffered a bit because of my silly dieting.

totally agree on not dieting too hard during BFing. My supple took a nose dive when I started dieting. So I gave up dieting, made better food choices and continued to exercise. I didn't lose anything while BFing but once she weened at 11 months, I dropped 20 lbs immediately without even trying. For me, BFing was like being in a permanent state of PMS but again, I was an "older" mom so maybe that had something to do with it.

no I was the the same as a young mama. I lost the initial weight, but then my body didn't want to lose anything. But after I stopped breastfeeding it all came off. I don't regret bfing for one minute of the two years I spent breastfeeding my two kids. I just wish I had given myself a pass and hadn't stressed the weight. It was frustrating. I lose so much more now that my body is my own. It may take me until my kids are 6 and 5, but I'm going to be a super hot mama.

I feel like the c-section pouch never goes away LOL I'm still working on it but my SO tells me it's all in my head.....

Not sure I'd consider myself a "hot mama," BUT I definitely look much better than I did.



The first pic is from St. Patrick's Day 2012. The last pics are from this past Christmas. I achieved a 35 lb. loss through diet ALONE. I breastfed my daughter until she was 18 months, then started dieting 2 months later, and I lost the first 20 lbs. within the first 6 months!

Now, I'm on to address the thigh/butt issues. Weight training is ON, as of 12/24/13. :bigsmile:

I'm a hot 43 y o mama! It took a while though! I put on 5 stone when I was preggers which is 70 pounds, then did silly silly dieting to lose it. Wish I'd found this place years ago.

Are you breast feeding?

You are a hot mama!! Lol. I want to look like you

It is all in your head :flowerforyou: I hope to one day have a belly that looks like yours.

The smallest I ever was before having kids was a size 8 (in my 20s). I'm in my 30s with 2 kids and am now down to a size 4. I gained 37lbs with my first child, lost over 40 lbs by the time he was a year old (no dieting, just bfing and cardio); I gained 35lbs with my second child, lost just under 40 lbs by the time she was a year old (again, bfing and cardio).

My youngest will be 3 next week...I've lost an additional 10 lbs in that time by joining a gym and starting to lift weights. I dunno...I think I'm pretty hot...and people guess I'm 25/26 all of the time...I'll be 34 next month.

I was the same way. Any dieting just killed my supply, so I made healthy choices and exercised regularly and barely lost any weight 'til my girls weaned. Once I was done BFing the weight came off a lot easier.

I put a few pounds back on in Nov / December, but in 2013 I was at my lowest adult weight and it was awesome. And this is after having two kids. It's totally attainable. Finding time to exercise and making good food choices isn't always easy with the little ones but you can do it. Just remember to be kind to yourself.

It's a slow process, so just keep that in mind. Breastfeeding alone can burn up to 500 calories a day for some moms! I lost ALL of my baby weight breadlstfeeding then went on to loose about 15 more through diet and exercise after I weaned my youngest. I've been working out and eating well for two years and really do look better than I did in high school. Just don't drop your calories too low or your supply will suffer. Good luck!

I think I'm getting hotter the older I get lol. I'm a mom of a 10 year old boy and 3 yr old girl. Both were had by C-sections.
