Any one trying to lose baby weight?

After 9 years, is it still considered baby weight or just an excuse??

I'm still losing mine...oh wait. Never mind.

My baby is 14 months old and I stopped breastfeeding 3 months ago. Since then I have gained around 15 pounds... HELP! I used MFP before the pregnancy and lost about 10 pounds, so I know I can do it, but it's so hard after having a baby. I work full-time in a stressful job and never have any time for myself to exercise. Feel free to send any tips and tricks (or kick-butt motivations) my way.

This could have been me. I started my fitness journey when my 2nd child was nearly two years old. I was in a job I hated and I was constantly frazzled. I have gained and lost before so I know how to lose weight lol. It is a matter of making a decision to change your lifestyle. It is going to feel selfish to make time for yourself, but it is honestly the BEST thing you can do for your children. They deserve a happy, healthy mommy. Remember that they are constantly watching you, so taking care of yourself sets a great example for them. They can be great motivators! My kids love exercising with me. They like to walk, jog, do yoga, and they even try to do some of my workout videos with me. Start tracking your food, and stick with it if that's what works for you.

I know it is hard, but something that helped me was to start small. I made very small changes in my diet at first, and I only promised myself 20 minutes of exercise every other day. I did 30 day shred, just not every day. When I started to see results, that motivated me to do more.

Another thing that helped was that I got another job. I hated my job, so I found another one and quit. A lot of people like to say it's not that easy, but it really is very simple. If you hate your job, find another one. If you can't find another one--find a way to cope with stress so that you are not miserable. Exercise will help with this. Life is too short to be stressed and miserable all the time. If, God forbid, you keeled over--the work would still be there.

Hang in there--don't give up.

I just had a baby in June, and still have 16 lbs to go! I was in the best shape of my life right before I got pregnant, but he is totally worth it. Feel free to add me! Right now, I'm at a stand-still with my weight and it's driving me CRAZY!!!!

Look....

i know the little precious looks all chubby and fatty mcfatterson....and all....

and that you probably look at the little chubby monkey and think why are you so fat, I had to push you out of my nether regions you plump chicken....

BUT.......rumor has it, the babies lean out on their own time, so I don't really recommend anyone trying to lose baby weight.

It'll go on it's own.

:flowerforyou:

Yes! My son is 9 months & I only have 4 pounds to go! You can add me!

Does it count as baby weight after 6 years? :P
