I joined over a year ago and met my fitness goal by teaching Zumba 4 days a week and changing my eating habits. I am 7 weeks post partum and have already lost almost 20 lbs and only have 18 more to go to get to my prepregnancy weight of 120. Currently breastfeeding and trying to slowly ease into fitness again. Anyone out there in my sane situation or has been? Would like, same goal oriented mommas as my fitness pals friends for mutual support and motivation.

    Hey there, I am 4 weeks postpartum and breastfeeding as well. I lost about 20 lbs but was overweight to begin with so I am hoping to lose about 30 more lbs.

    Congrats to you both! You guys still have a few weeks before you are cleared by the dr. What workouts do you think you will be doing to lose the rest of the weight?

    I am 10 weeks postpartum. I gained 13 lbs during pregnancy and lost 20 lbs by 5 days pp. unfortunately, I was overweight before pregnancy so even though I lost the baby weight, I still need to lose 30 more lbs. I'm hoping to start couch 2 5k as soon as the weather permits.

    Couch to 5k is an app that trains you in 8 weeks to run a 5k. You run 3 days a week and slowly work into the program. It's pretty amazing for easing yourself into running!

    Yeah. It's a great program. I've completed it before, but I didn't run while pregnant because I'd had a miscarriage the previous year so I need to start over.

    I started Couch to 5k today :) There's a group for it here on MFP.
