Hi! I'm jlrosey from January bbc. I live in az. I'm 151lbs after gaining 45lbs from my pregnancy (lost 20 already with baby). Looking to be around 130 again.

A side note: it's telling me to eat 1200 a day on here. Wth??? I know it doesnt know I'm bfing but seriously? Do people really survive on that?

I do insanity or running. Please explain what shredding is...

I'm Elizabeth and I'm up in snowy New Hampshire! I was 241 at the appointment the day before I had my son and would like to get down to 175... I was 208 at my first prenatal check up. After trying to lose weight off and on by myself, I'm excited to have other people to hold me accountable! I always stop when I hit that plateau!!

I'm up for 30ds but since my blood pressure hasn't normalized on its own, I am not allowed to work out until my ob clears me which will hopefully be Monday!! I'm hoping to lose enough initially to get back into my pre pregnancy clothes at least by the time spring rolls around! (So April/May)

Hi everyone, I'm Julie.I used MFP along with running before getting pregnant to lose 25 pounds. I was 213 at my first ob visit, got down to 208 during first tri, and was 233 at my last appt. before birth. Within two weeks of being home I was down to 216 and was so happy about not gaining too much baby weight! Unfortunately, the inactivity and constant hunger from breastfeeding has taken its toll in the last month and I weighed in at 224 at my 6 week check up yesterday!???? My initial goal is to get below 210 and hopefully close to 200 by summer. This is a lofty goal BC I lose weight sloooowwwwly, but I need to make the most odf my extended maternity leave, which ends in August.

I can't believe the timing of this post on BBC! I spent yesterday afternoon updating MFP and trying to come up with a calorie goal and then this morning saw the post. I am typically much more of a lurker and don't usually join or type in forums/groups but figured it was meant to be!

I will join in on 30DS. I like those workouts, 20 minute butt kicking! Going to be painful because I am so out of shape! Also planning on upping my walking with the stroller as the weather improves and doing couch25k program beginning in mid-march to get running again.

Hello ladies, my name is Nallely or Yelli for short. I'm not exactly sure how much I weigh at the moment since I don't have a scale at home, will go buy one soon so I can keep track though. At my first prenatal appointment I weighed 165lbs and then the day before I had my baby boy I was 185lbs so I gained a total of 20lbs during my pregnancy. Almost 3 weeks after I had my first postpartum appointment and had already lost all 20lbs and was down to the 165lbs again. I went back at 6 weeks postpartum and was down to 161lbs. I wanna go down to 120lbs since I used to be petite and I miss those days when I didn't have to worry about a muffin top, double chin, big arms...and of course when people didn't ask me if I was pregnant when I wasn't pregnant! Plus it would be nice to finally wear a bikini without a shirt over it again

I'm interested in doing the 30DS, I will look it up on youtube and bookmark it, so sign me up for it! I think starting March 1st would be nice since it's the beginning of the month.

Hey everyone! Im Jen -aka Girlychic from BBC. Im from the Saint Paul MN area. Ive been on MFP for about a year. I started mine at 236 last winter and was down to 223 before finding out I was pregnant last May. I did pretty well thru my pregnancy and only gained 22lbs. I was back down almost at my prepregnancy weight but thru inactivity and quitting breast feeding im back up to 234. :-(. I'm 7weeks pp and just started back with a personal trainer at the gym. I only see him 2 days a week. I have a ton of credits im using up but now with baby expenses once I use them I'm on my own. I do have the 30 day shred dvd but wouldnt be able to do 30 straight because I work 13 hr days so when I'm working I dont do workouts. I think this group is an awesome idea. I feel like it will be easier to have support who has been thru a similar experience. I really want to get back to 160-170 ultimately- I have a little boy that I want to be able chase around all day when he gets older ;-)

Hi all,

I am Jessica. This LO is my first kiddo. Love him to death but do not love my body. I'm 5 ft 8 and my normal weight is about 140. I had a mc last year due to which I put on some lbs. I was 152 when I got pregnant with this LO. The day I was induced I was 207! Oops. I am now down to 177. My first goal is to get to 150 then back down to 140. The first 18 came off easily and now it is taking more effort. My 6 week appointment is tomorrow so I'm hoping to get into some sort of workout routine. Kind of hard with a newborn. How long are the 30 day shred workouts? Needless to say shorter workouts are easier to actually get done. Do I need to purchase them?

Thanks!!

So to see everyone in my feed, do I need to add everyone as a friend?

Hi im Kelly and I had my little one on January 4 and I'm looking forward to being able to lose weight with all you ladies. I know it's already been two months and I haven't started working out yet but I am hoping this group will motivate me. Before my little one popped out I weighed 180 and now I'm down to 160. My goal is 120 but I know it will take more like 3 months to get there. Yay I'm excited!!!

My name is Jenny and I live in Florida. I started my pregnancy at 160, which is 20 pounds above my ideal weight. I ended my pregnancy in the 200s. If I had to guess I was about 210. I'm around 185 now and haven't started exercising yet. Still trying to figure out how to get to the gym with my husband at work all day and he goes to the gym after so I have no one to watch my son. I've lost a ton of weight plenty of times before and I'm hoping I can again. I'd love to be back at what I was a year ago. I was 150 and looked AMAZING.
