Postnatal group - January 2011

Bug will be 10 mths on the 9th of this month and I have lost ALL the baby weight 52lbs ...that being said I still have 30 pre-pregnancy lbs to lose:(. Plus I am trying to get in the best shape of my life by running multiple miles at a time as of right now I can run 4 miles without stopping. The hope is that I will be able to run a big 10k 6.2 miles in my area in May!!!!

Hello all! I'd like to join this group, if I may?
I used MFP two years ago to tone up for my wedding with fantastic results!
Now I am stuggling to maintain healthy eating habits and regular exercise after giving birth to a beautiful baby boy in September...
Today was a good day - under my calorie goals and no sugary snacks!
Didn't get a chance to get outside for a walk because of cold, drizzly weather, but have made it a goal to do belly time WITH my baby every day: When he is on his belly strenthening his neck muscles, I will be on my back, strengthening my belly muscles!
Hope to continue to check in and stay focussed while juggling new routines!

How is everyone doing?

My 14 month old had a sleep deprived EEG this morning so neither of us could sleep. So when I got home I napped as long as my newborn and 2 year old would let me (3 hours) but I napped through my usual work out time.
I'm out of calories so I'm going to have to make some energy for the gym. Not sure where it's going to come from lol.

How is everyone doing?

I've been staying on track but the weight loss has slowed (if only 35lbs in 3.5 weeks was maintainable lol). I'm 4 weeks postpartum today. I've lost all the baby weight from this one, 22lbs from my 2nd pregnancy and 18lbs for good measure after that.

I'm not weighing in until Friday now. I'm sick of seeing 2/10 pound gain and being sad lol, so waiting a week so I know there should be a loss.

I would LOVE to join this group! I am a stay at home mom to my baby boy born on November 21 and just started getting serious about weight loss (again!) last week. I've been doing pretty well staying within my calories, but not so well with workouts. My goal is to get in a minimum of five 30 minute workouts/week.

Do you guys have an 'official' weigh in day or do challenges or anything like that?

Glad I found you ladies!

Hi Ladies, I'd like to tag along for the ride too if I may!

My wee angel is 10 days old today and I am really looking forward to dropping the weight gained during pregnancy. As at today I am hoping to lose approx 10kgs (22lbs) and get back to a reasonable level of fitness asap.

There is a 10km run I would love to do in a decent time at the end of August but before I can start even thinking about that I have to just let my body recover (2nd degree tearing so no serious activity for a wee while yet) and start eating as healthy as possible. And of course enjoy my precious wee bundle!!

I am also nursing so would be keen if anyone knew the answer to the earlier poster if this could be incorporated in the "Excercises" section or not? Also whether it can be taken into consideration in the required daily calories input? Might email the

Caliwaters25 - I have been using a belly band on & off and I find them pretty good, I've been using two, the "Bodybelt" is fantastic at shaping and is more slimline but I find it slightly less comfortable then the "Jobri - Universal Abdominal Binder" which is a little bulkier and less flattering but like I said, that little bit comfier too. HTH

Nice to meet all of you, hope all you goals are coming along!

43lbs down!!!!!!!!!!
My son is 8 weeks tomorrow.
I gained 35lbs with him so I'm super excited about this loss.

I still have 17lbs left from my first son (who just turned 15 months yesterday).
Then I'd like to lose another 20lbs or so after that.
