MOMs to 3+ kids progress pics or success stories??

Mom of three kiddos here too! Would love to see or hear about some stories! I lost and was down to goal before baby #3 and gained all the weight back and then some so I'm starting over here I know I can do it, but it just seems so much more daunting this time around!

Okay so no pics yet BUT I am a wife and mother of 4 kids. I work 50+ hours a week and my husband and I are both full time students getting Maters degrees. With 1.5 years of eating at a deficit and lifting heavy, since Sept of 2013, I went from 231 lbs, size 16 jeans, XXl tops to 180 lbs, size 10 jeans and large tops. I haven't lost anything the last 6 months because I became comlpacent with fitting into a size 10 and thought that was enough for me at the time. I've recently started lifting again this week because "good enough" is not good enough anymore. Before I stopped lifting, I was squatting my weight on the bar. I'm hoping I can drop the last 15-20 lbs over the next few months.

4 kids here! the youngest two are just one and two years old. I've been pretty much in maintenance for 5 years, except for when I was pregnant. With my fourth it took me about 6 months or so to gain back the weight I had lost being pregnant back to back and now I am focusing on strength because my body was drained and nothing like it was! I was an avid lifter and runner and could do neither for almost two years (I got pg with #4 when #3 was 6 weeks old) I feel like now I'm really close to where I was stamina and strength wise. I meal plan to avoid snacking or the excuse of "there's nothing quick to eat" I get up early to workout before the babies wake up. I work 4 days a week and am also in school. It can be done!

Mom to 3 kids, all 3 born via c-section. I'm still a work in progress. SW 224 lbs, CW 164.8. GW 137 (will re-evaluate once I get to that point)

<-- Before pic, and relatively current pic (taken about a month ago)

I work full time, but squeeze in work out time either over my lunch break, or I go to the gym at night when I get the kids to be.

Wow, you really rode that fine line recommendation on how long your supposed to wait to have sex after giving birth, huh? LOL

I always joke she was conceived in the car, in the parking lot of my OB immediately following my check up

Ah hahahaha

Mom of three here all born by C-section. I have just gotten serious about losing this weight so I haven't lost a whole lot yet. My baby is 9 months old and my starting weight was 158, CW 150.5 and GW is 120. I don't have any pics yet but feel free to add me.

Mom to 5... 2 by c-section.

I have 3 kids- ages 7, 5 and 2. Pre-baby I was 130. After my 3rd I maintained at 175 for 2 years. Starting in jan i started focusing on losing some weight. I am down to 135. I have kept my calories to 1300-1700 and do 1 hour of cardio 3-6 times a week.


175

Today at 135 trying on a dress for a wedding

5 kids

Weight train 2/wk, walked every other day.

Started at 119kg (262lbs) in 2010. Pregnant in 2012...best pregnancy in terms of weight management. Got down to 76kg (167lbs) in photo beginning 2014, gained 6kg last year due to family circumstances which meant routine went AWOL. Still fit those jeans though. Didn't panic. Back to it. Finding a new routine.

I only do what I enjoy and I only eat what I enjoy - emphasis on nutrition first.

ETA: I hate my hair in after shot lol.

I kick box for cardio too but I probably won't do that till I'm 80! Don't mind a bit of Zumba either but can't get there anymore. But yeh agree, process absolutely has to be flexible and enjoyable for adherence.

I have 8 kids (26 years down to almost 15 months). With the youngest, I had some complications during my pregnancy so I was on bed rest and in and out of the hospital. She was born via c-section at 36 weeks. It was my first c-section so getting back in shape has been more challenging than it was with the others. I was 46 when she was born and I was also at the heaviest I've ever been. I was about 125 lb. when I got pregnant and don't know my highest weight, but when I came home from the hospital, I was at 171 lb.

The picture is June of 2014 compared to now. Currently, I'm just lifting because I'm healing a stress fracture in my foot, but I normally run 3-4 times a week and lift. I did Stronglifts 5x5 for 4 months, took a break, did it again for another 2 months or so and then moved to a different routine that's 5 days a week.

(Please excuse the mirror marks; I'm apparently unable to wipe the mirror off after my shower without leaving behind streaks.)

I'm a mother of three and I've started back in 2012 at 260 lost 40lbs then got pregnant in April 2013 with my last. I was over 200lbs with each pregnancy, but only gained 6lbs with my last. Today I'm almost at 90lbs loss at 171lbs. [img]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/chesnity3/Mobile Uploads/PicsArt_1433957913815_zpsfyafnwef.jpg[/img]

Wow! Love the support and shares on here. This is just what I need and was looking for!
I have 2 children 15 & 7. The first one did a number on my body, but I lost the weight relatively easy (after gaining 99lbs - exactly). With my second I only gained 40-ish lbs, but the extra pounds seem to be a demon now that just won't let go. I've always been active and relatively healthy but I moved 3.5yrs ago to an area that doesn't support the active lifestyle I was living before. The pounds have really started to settle in since being in my new community. It was something I never concerned myself with (weight) but I feel it's starting to become to much and needs to be wrangled in. I hope to follow all you lovely ladies who are sharing so selflessly and keep myself motivated to be healthier and happier with who I am physically.

I'm mom of three as well! All boys and all c-sections. It was hard to come to terms that I was overweight. But I'm on this journey because I want to be there for them as long as I can!!!
I saw myself in a picture on Jan. 3, 2015, and I was shocked! That was it.
So 35 lbs later I'm feeling better, but I know I still have a way to go!!
Best of luck! Feel free to add or friend me!

I homeschool 4 kids and run a soap making business out of my home - I have lost 50lbs since Christmas. I just made physical activity a priority (and yes, that means some things suffer here and there, like my house at the moment lol). I play racquetball 4-6 times/week, I'm training for another Ragnar, as well as joined a dragon boat paddling team with practice 1x/wk. I go to the gym almost every single day...while I feel bad for the time I spend away from my family, this is very necessary right now. Once I am at my goal weight, I will cut back a little...and clean my house again lol.

Oh I also track my calories/macros every single day. Most of the time, I'm on target, every once in a while I blow it. I used to freak out when I'd 'mess up' but now I either just throw in an extra run or clean it up the next day.
