Postpartum Weight Loss!

Hi there! :happy:
A few years ago I battled my weight and won! I started out at 203 lbs and got all the way down to 140 lbs!
Which took me about 8 months in total and then my husband and I found out we were expecting!
Well I just had my daughter 4 weeks ago and while I was pregnant, at 40 weeks I weighed 230 lbs *Yikes* :sad:
So yeah, I gained a TON!!! At 3 weeks postpartum I weighed 206 lbs so I am basically starting back where I was a few years ago. Now I finally feel fine enough after recovering from childbirth to start my weight loss journey all over again!!
I'm looking for some support and hopefully some fellow new mommies out there
to join me on my journey so we can inspire one another :bigsmile:

IF you're on Facebook the group Mommywood Gets Fit! is pretty good. I'm in the same boat except my daughter is already 9 months old and I still haven't really started exercising again. Parenthood is tiring! and time consuming! But no excuses, right?0

Exactly no excuses! you just gotta push yourself it'll be worth all the exhaustion someday0
