    My third baby is 5 months old tomorrow. I still have 10 lbs to lose to get to per preg weight and I want to lose an additional 10-15 lbs on top of that. I am struggling !! I would love to have some motivation!

    My third is 5.5 months old, so feel free to add me. I exercise loads, do carb cycling, and have a treat once a week. It seems to be working!
    I lost 66lbs after my 2nd, but gained a lot of that back despite logging and exercising all pregnancy.

    It's so early hon....

    Seriously, take it slow. Eat healthy. Walk loads. The weight will drop off. Get serious after 12 months when your body has healed.

    I am only getting serious now that my 2nd babe is 16 months old, but sensible eating and moderate exercise got rid of 3 stone in that time. I have some way to go but feel ready now.

    I understand the pressure and desire of wanting your body back, but I also respect that it takes time with a new babe. Don't stress too much.

    It will come together. Be gentle on yourself.

    Just had my second 6 weeks ago and trying to get back on track as well :) not coming off as quick as the first one, even though I gained less this time around. So annoying!

    You can add me too :) Just had my little guy 3.5 months ago, and working on getting my pre-baby body back and then some! Definitely not used to this flabby stomach and stretch marks :(

    I'm 6 month post partum. use body scrub on your stretch marks 2x a week and use a moisturizer after the shower (I use bio oil). that will help them heal and dull. At 6 weeks mine were pretty red too.
