losing baby weight

Options
I am a mom looking for support with losing baby weight. An online support group sounds like a great idea if anyone is interested. I am 5 weeks postpartum and have 20 pounds to lose.

    Welcome!! I'm Amanda. I'm 3 months postpartum. I already lost my baby weight from this little guy (34lbs) and am working on the additional 22lbs left from my 1st son (9lbs of it left!!). Plus another 10-20lbs just to get at the mid range of healthy for my height instead of the high end. :smile:

    I'm 6 months post partum. I have a lot of weight left to lose as well. I only gained 8 lbs during my high risk pregnancy. I gained more weight after I had the baby. My husband and I got lazy and never felt like cooking. Now we're trying to get back on track. How much do you have to lose?

    I am 10 years post-partum ;)

    I actually lost most of my post partum weight within a month... it was that damned maternity leave that made me fat

    Congrats on the new baby & good luck with the weight loss

    So I am not sure how this works, but if anyone is interested in starting a support group let's do it!

    Just create a thread called, I dunno.... "women losing baby weight March" and everyone can comment on it for the month then you just create a new one each month?

    I'm almost 2 yrs post partum from twins and I have at least 30lbs to loose. I've lost 20lbs from breastfeeding, but that was the easy part. Now I'm struggle to loose the last 30
