Hi all I don't know how to attach pics but I just wanted to share that today is exactly a year since giving birth to my second baby and I have a son 2years and so far I'm 78lbs down and have 13 lbs to go

Just want to motivate anybody who thinks it not possible

You can do it if you really want to, I have two babies n no family near or support but managed by making time to work out early morning before kids wake or when they nap even some days I used them as weights to do squats lol

My diet is like a body building cutting diet n nearer I get to goal I have
started introducing some foods back but keeping withing my caL allowance, n make sure if I have a naughty day I don't go over to much, I try to keep to 80/20 rule n drink water n lots of it

Exercise I started with 30 day shred, then home workouts like hiit workouts on you tube , I now do heavy lifting at weekends when hubby off work n go swimming once a week in the evening once hubby home from work glad to Have a very supportive husband and amazing mfp friend's who supported me all the way

If anybody has questions please ask or add me

:-)

Wish everyone best reaching there goals n if anybody has tips on loosing last 13 lbs feel free to share

    Such a great achievement and commitment. Great job! As a mother of 3, I know it can be hard to insist on that time for yourself. But, it is so worth it.

    Hello Leylaos,
    Very inspirational... I am planning to get pregnant but get scared when I think about the baby weight and stretch marks. I would really love to hear about your source of motivation how do you manage everything.

    Don't be scared having a baby makes it all worth it, stretch marks fade n don't really bother me as much but I gained a lot when pregnant I'm not very tall n I felt awful n a lot people enjoyed to see me fat as I had a nice figure before so some got joy n rubbed it in a bit lol, also I hated feeling weak and having two babies close together made me get spd it's a pelvic problem I was house bound most of my second pregnancy with a toddler n I cried so much feeling bad I couldn't take him out much , this motivated me to get my strength back, hence I started to lift weights,

    Yes it's hard fitting the time in to exercise with two babies but you do get us ed to it, n once you get into a routine working out you have so much energy it's easier with the kids, I can carry them both without feeling pain or having back ache after changing nappies

    I think if you try keep active in pregnancy n don't make mistake of eating for two you will be fine,having a baby does change your body but you can make better n learn to be more confident in new body it's all worth it when you have your baby in your arms all the best hope your blessed soon with a bundle of joy
