Hey 1st time mum who was size 8 and 9 stone pre pregnancy

When i finally weighed myself 2 months after giving birth (i was scared as i knew if gained way too much) i was 12 12!!!

Been dieting for 4 months now weighing 11 12!!

Only a stone lost but im determined to get back to 9 stone!!

Have a flabby tummy which desperately needs toning!!

Wanting some MFP friends please to help motivate me!

    Hey,

    It's easy to despair when you've had a bubba and you see the weight accumulated when your baby's here, but don't fret!

    Dropping that stone already is good going. I had my daughter and gained a WHOPPING (nearly!) 6st. I went from 7st 13lb at my booking appt to 13st 10lb the day I was weighed when she was born... And she was 6 weeks early! I got so down when she was born that I thought I'd never shift it, but like you, through sensible eating, grit and determination, within the year I was 8st 7lb.

    So keep going. It seems impossible now, and now baby's here your time is even more valuable, but you'll get there! Just like I did but thought I never would. (I've gained a little more now, hence using this app!)

    Good luck.
