Is anyone else trying to lose baby weight?

I gained so much during my pregnancy and now I feel so overwhelmed about trying to lose it all! This is the heaviest I have ever been and it is a little hard to stay motivated.

I finally got rid of the baby weight a couple months ago. it can be daunting but if you keep it up you'll look back and see how far you've gotten. i was 276 and now i'm 227...i was already big when i got pregnant...i waited till after breast feeding before i started losing weight. i lost 30 lbs in the first 3 months, although great, i needed to slow down. i have 48 more lbs to go and it really doesn't seem like that long ago i started. don't dwell on it, enjoy your little baby and you'll get to where you are going before you know it! good luck and congrats on your baby!0

Thank you! I was also big when I got pregnant (215). I got up to 272 and also lost 30 pounds in the first month! I am now back up to 263 and I just know I should be losing and not gaining! Lol. Hopefully this program will give me some motivation. I'm excited to have a community to share with.

i am currently 33 weeks pregnant and i weigh 253and was 260 befrore i got pregnant, i am trying to loose 53 lbs to start and then get to wonderland, i plan on breast feeding my daughter as well i cant wait to get back on track0

Yep. And it is really hard for some reason this time. I had my 3rd baby and for some reason this time I haven't been able to motivate myself. Maybe because I have to keep losing the same 30 lbs.
but I just got serious and I am going to do it again. I've done it before but it won't happen if I don't work for it.

Yes! Baby #2 is 8months and I am still 10 pounds away. I can't seem to lose any more. Looking for some encouragement and advice from other mamas.0

Mine is 6 months. I was doing well at first and now I've just been STUCK. I could use some advice and motivation too.

I'm losing nursing weight. I don't gain much when pregnant, but always put on some while nursing. The struggle is real, but you can do it. Get a food scale if you don't have one and WEIGH EVERYTHING!0

Me! I had my second daughter 3 weeks ago. I gained 57 lbs with this pregnancy and it feels like an uphill battle at times. I aim to lose the 57 lbs but also become more physically active and tone up. We can do this! Seconding the recommendation to weigh everything, I've found it very helpful.0

I was a huge 330 when I had my son (had gained 55lbs but 30 of it was from preeclampsia)
I've lost all that I gained but need to lose 50 more. Would love to join you ladies and support each other.0 -
After my last pregnancy I was able to lose all the weight plus 10 pounds more with MFP and diligent walking (a total of 30 pounds over about 8 months after I weaned). Now my second is 9 months and I am stuck 20 pounds above pre-pregnancy. Looking for support too! I have a goal to lose 40 pounds and get back to my lowest adult weight now that I am done having children, so I have long road ahead :-) Still nursing too.0

I'm trying to lose the baby weight too! Anyone interested in starting a new group for moms so we can motivate one another?0
-
Me too! I have 5lbs to go to pre pregnancy weight but am hating this new mom bod! Only 3 weeks post C section so excited to get the all clear to start doing more than walking in the next few weeks! I was at my heaviest before pregnancy so hoping to loose an extra 30-50lbs... Would love some tips and motivation as well!0

I am about 7 weeks postpartum. Still breastfeeding and. trying to lose the last 10 lbs.0
-
I'm trying to lose the weight too. I honestly can't remember my exact weight before I got pregnant with my 4th child (15 months ago). I have a big goal in mind but I'm excited to see the better me.0
-
I'm in the same boat as all of you ladies. It's tough to lose weight after the baby. This is my third and I feel like I've been gaining and losing for the past 4 years! (My children are pretty close in age.) I'm going to add some of you. Hopefully we can motivate each other. Feel free to add me.0
-
add me too!!!! I am trying to lose the baby number four weight, but it is slow going right now. I have about 35 more pounds. i would love some motivation and support!0
-
yep! she's now FOUR and I still have 4 kilos to lose! Though I only pulled my finger out and started doing this properly 243 days ago.0
-
Me! I weighed 165 before I got and the day i went in to deliver my baby boy I weighed 257 :-( I'm down to 220 and my goal is 160. Feel free to add me :-)0

My LG is 10 weeks old and I'm EBF. I was 140 before my son and was around 170 before my daughter and I'm hovering around that number now. I would like to get back to 140ish. I'm more about the clothes sizes so uk10 would be fab. Feel free to add me too xxx0

Add me! I have baby weight to lose from my irish twins. I recently stopped breastfeeding and I'm ready to kick these extra pounds to the curb! I would like to lose at least 50 pounds (the weight I put on through both pregnancies and breastfeeding), but my long-term goal is 75 pounds.0
-
Feel free to add me too! When I delivered in January I was 235. I'm down to 175 but now I'm stuck! No matter what I do that number on the scale won't budge. My goal is to get back to 135ish.0

me! I had #3 April 23rd and I am having a terrible time losing. I weighed 188 when I got pregnant (sadly a low point in weight for my adult life)- I am currently 205, after gaining 10 lbs back I had lost post-partum. I am nursing and struggle with the constant hunger- add to that a 5 and 3 year old,renovating a house and moving, and I just don't make myself a priority. I am so tired of the excuses though. I will get my eating under control by consistently tracking- I know this brings me success!0

Hi, I too am struggling with baby #3 weight loss. I was at 230 when I got pregnant and went up to 270. I had my baby two months ago and got down to 239 within two weeks of having her. Today when I weighed myself I was up to 245 again (eek)! I need motivation and I'm determined to make it out of the 200s by next year. Feel free to add me ladies and if you do make a mommy weight loss group please let me know.0

I think that is a good idea. How do we go about it?0 -
Baby weight seems to be the hardest to lose! I now have a VERY active 1 and a half year old, so I am super motivated to lose weight! I am the heaviest I have ever been as well. we can do this! For the babies! LOL

Yep, me too. I want to lose at least 30 lbs, but after the second kid I just can't find the time or energy. But the last kid turns 2 in a month and I still have the baby weight from both pregnancies! I need to get serious but I just can't seem to do it!0
-
My baby will be 4 months on the 24th and I haven't lost a pound since she was 2 weeks :-( I have 40 pounds to lose to get to pre-pregnancy weight plus another 20 or so to get back to a normal, healthy weight. So depressing. Getting serious starting today though!!!0
-
I'm 9 1/2 months pp, I lost the baby weight and 10 extra pounds so far. I exercise 30 minutes a day, 5-6x/week. Feel free to add me.0

My third baby is 14 months old now and I still have 15-20lbs to lose. We've had a tough time with her as she has enlarged adenoids so gets congested and pukes every single night, so we're exhausted. Waiting on an ENT referral to have them out.
I always gain loads in pregnancy and it takes ages to lose. I lost 66lbs after my 2nd baby, but it took me around 20 months.
I workout a lot, an average of 5 times a week, and I'm really active.0
