After pregnancy success

Congrats! You can do it. Hope you feel better soon. :flowerforyou:

39 pounds lost in 4 months - all while dealing with the disruption and sleeplessness of a new baby! That's a win, right there! :flowerforyou:

Great job! I'm in the same boat I am 3 months pp and I gained 41 lbs and I'm only 5'3. I'm 192 now and struggling! I also have a 20 month old at home and with both at times it's hard to find time to eat, let alone eat healthy

We can do it! I'm 13 weeks pp with my 4th all 5 and under. I started my weight loss journey after baby 2 reached goal of 120 lbs! I've never been that small in my life! Then got a surprise pregnancy with 3. Gained another 55 lbs and got down to 130 by the time she was 7 months. Then decided to have a 4th lol gained another 55 lbs. I'm currently at 140 with a goal of 125. Finding time to exercise seems impossible but my girls started doing it with me and we make games out of it. Advice: try not to make any excuses!!!! We are all tired but workouts actually give us energy so get up and do it! U won't be sorry! Eating healthy also gives us energy and we all could use any boost we can get so put down the chips and grab an apple! Good luck to all! If I can do it almost three times with all these little ones anyone can do it!!!!

Oh yes I understand completely. I lost 80 lbs and got pregnant with my twins... by the girls first birthday I lost all of the weight--but we weeks later I found out I was pregnant again with one baby. I gained 40 lbs back with her pregnancy.... but she is 1 tomorrow and I lost 62 lbs! In total I have lost 102 lbs and I have 2 yr old twins and a 1 year old... you can do it. Just focus on food and nutrition and start some light exercise like walking.... Just worry about sleep and increase your exercise when you are getting enough rest.

I'm an inch shorter than you, and also gained 40 lbs with my first pregnancy. It tool about two years to lose it at a moderate pace and get to my competition figure in my profile pics. Now I'm pregnant with #2, and determined to only gain about half as much as I did before, or less.

Congratulations to you guys on your post pregnancy weightloss! I'm 2 months pp and am wondering how MFP takes into account breastfeeding. Does anyone know? Shouldn't you be allocating more calories if you're breastfeeding? I have no idea! I'm just starting back on my weightloss journey after having bubba! Thanks!

You can add it under food diary. I include it under my snacks. Do a search for breastfeeding and "Generic Breastfeeding" will come up. It will give you around -500 calories. You can adjust it if you pump/breastfeed more or less than taht. The only bad thing is that it won't update on your phone only in a computer
