Post Pregnancy Weight Loss - Need motivation

30 pounds! WTG. That's awesome.

Like the rest of you I am looking to loose at least 50 pounds after having a c-section three months ago. Alexis is finally EBF and I'm working hard to figure this weight loss without lowering my supply thing out. Any tips or just support would be great.

I'm 10 months postpartum, and I've lost 25 pounds (more like 45 if you count what I lost before I home from the hospital). Still have 14 to go to get to pre-pregnancy weight. About 35 to go to get to ultimate goal weight. Feel free to add me

I'm almost 10 mths pp and I've just been fluctuating the whole time. Pre-pregnancy I was 142 lbs and I barely looked pregnant till the very end. My weight right before delivery was 177 lbs. Since then I've been fluctuating between about 160 and 170. I exclusively breastfed the 1st 5 mths and supplemented with formula for a month but I never stopped pumping and nursing. I feel like I look more pregnant now than I did when I was pregnant. I'm tired of feeling so discouraged. Keeping a workout routine has been difficult for many reasons (single mom with no family or friend support, living in extremely cold weather, then I was working for 3 months). but I've tried and eating right goes out the door when I crave everything that is so wrong. I'm committed this time but just the fact that I barely lost any weight after giving birth and breastfeeding did nothing for weight loss makes me feel so discouraged. I'm hoping I can find some tips and words of encouragement to keep me motivated.

I am about 2 weeks shy of being a year PP and since November I have lost close to 30 pounds. I didn't even attempt to lose weight by reducing my calorie intake until my daughter was 8 months old however. I was too afraid of it affecting my milk supply. Once she was doing really well with solids it didn't worry me as much anymore and I got down to business! I am now a few pounds below pre-pragncy weight and wanting to lose that last stubborn 10!! Feel free to add me up!!

6 month PP and had a c section this time around and then another surgery weeks later. Finding it harder after baby 2 and with c section. Not giving up! Lifting weight and a bit of cardio:)

Feel free to add me moms- got to stick together and it's always nice to show support and ideas!

You are way ahead of the game. I didn't even exercise until my son (baby #2) was 18 months old. You can do it.

I'm also a breastfeeding mama here. My little one is 7 months now and so far all I've done is gain more weight.

My LO is going to be 11 months in the end of March overall I lost 28 lbs I'm a little under my Pre pregnancy weight but have 15-20 lbs more to drop to reach gw I did do insanity last sept ended dec then in feb I stopped logging and ate badly luckily I just maintained but now I'm going at it again hopefully I can drop something I am doing t25 now it's only 25 minutes a day so my too time consuming

I had my baby girl 3 months ago and I just started my diet and exercising to lose the baby weight. I have a total of 45 lbs to lose. I'm 11 lbs away from my pre pregnancy weight and 30 lbs away from where I would like to be when I got married 3 yrs. ago. Add me if you need a friend. We can keep each other motivated.

I started my diet on March 10th, and my exercise routine of doing the Jillian Micheals 30DS and the shred it with weight, and also walk on the tread mill for about 20 mins. a day ( about 1 mile). I have to build back up my energy level to do more. So far I don't think that I've lost the any weight but I do feel better when I workout.

No longer BF, but I've got a 4 year old and 18 month old. Just now getting around to losing the weight from the 18 month old. :embarassed:

Feel free to add me if you want mommy friends! Good luck, and kudos to you for diving into MFP! I've seen plenty of BF mommies around who are having good results.

Hi there!! I am a new mom too, needing to lose the extra weight that I gained during (and after) pregnancy! To be honest I gained most of it after I returned home from hospital cause I ate everything that contained sugar, like crazy. It was also Christmas period so we always had sweets or chocolate in our fridge. I am breastfeeding only, and it doesn't help to control my cravings!

Now I need to lose all the excess weight. I was 55kg when I got pregnant and preparing to get married, then the baby came and the wedding was postponed till next September! I had already bought the wedding dress (which I have to wear in September!!!). Mommies feel free to add me, friends are always needed to stay focused!!!

Hello everyone. I had a c-section back in 2010, and then another one in late 2012. I went back to my pre-pregnancy weight immediately thereafter (although I was trying to lose weight before even getting pregnant). So basically I'm trying to get down to the weight I was before I ever got pregnant in 2010 which was 121 lbs. I don't want to be that small again. I looked my best at 135 so that is my goal weight at this point, but I would certainly be happy with 140. I'm currently 159 and not very happy about it. I did not breastfed any of my children though.

We can all do this ladies. It will take work, but lets motivate each other to stay on track, and we can do this journey together.

I am a year post pregnancy now and have lost over 30 pounds, about half way to my goal. I also waited until my little bundle of energy was eating a good supply of solid food because I did not want to have my milk supply dry up. I am still breast feeding in the morning and at night, and he is not showing any signs of wanting to wean from that yet. I will begin to wean him at 18 months or so if he is still showing no interest in weaning on his own.

I began working out at lunch at work because it can be so hard to do at home after work. We take lots of walks on non rainy days and I am looking forward to this summer when we can be outside most of the time! Yoga at home does seem to work well for both of us. He crawls all over me and I have added resistance!!!
