in Introduce Yourself
Is anyone else in this boat? I was active here after my first baby and lost about 30lbs total. Then I got pregnant again and gained a ton. I'm now almost 3 months post and NEED to get myself back on track. I threw responsible eating away about two months into pregnancy and am just now starting to pay attention again.
I want to generally be healthier, of course, but also get back to my pre-any-pregnancy weight (155 is my final goal, 167 was pre-pregnancy, 190 pre-second-pregnancy, 209 current).
I'm 5'8", 29yrs, and married with now two kids. Support is always welcome, and I try to be supportive as well!

    Hey! I have a 10 month old and I am STILL working on losing the baby weight. I gained more than I'd like to admit. Lol I'm trying to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight of 140. That's when I felt my best. Plus, before my son was born I had a shopping problem and have a ton of clothes I'd like to fit in again. Lol

    It wasn't until 8mo after my first that I did anything toward losing weight, and she was almost a year when I got serious about it. I was on *such* a good roll when I got pregnant again. Steady loss, nightly workouts 6 days a week, looking into getting a heart rate monitor etc then BAM! Pregnant lol. Starting over is hard. I kept a lot of my pre-pregnancy clothes in the hopes I'd be able to wear them again! They've been neglected in my closet for like 2.5 years.

    Hi, I'm nearly 2 months PP, 5'7" and 183 lbs. I'm aiming to lose around 40lbs ( which I've pretty much had since my first LO 5 years ago). We seem to have similar goals, so feel free to add me if you like!

    Best of luck to you and congrats on your newest little one! I'm embarrassed to say my youngest is 4, so I not sure I can call it baby weight, but I am working to drop the additional weight I kept on after 3 pregnancies. We have similar numbers/goals. Please add me if you want!

    I say it still counts if you put it on during pregnancy ;)
