3 stone to lose! Postnatal weight loss

Congratulations on the birth of your son :]
I wouldn't worry too much about this weight gain, you've got a fantastic little boy out of it so regret nothing! Onwards and upwards - baby steps - you'll get there. Stick with MFP for support and advice and you'll have no problems! Remember, you've just had a baby so no need to heap pressure on yourself. Eat a little of what you love in moderation and enjoy the process. This isn't going to happen overnight, it will take months of determination and positivity - but you can do it. I promise. Good luck!

Congratulations on the birth of your son! I had a baby 15 weeks ago now and started MFP and exercising 5 weeks ago so well done on starting early, if your exercising take it easy until your check up at 6 weeks. I found my body this time round took a lot longer to lose the extra fluid I was carrying so you could still have this floating around too, drink plenty of water to flush any extra fluid away and good luck with your weight loss, you'll get there don't rush to much!

I had my 2nd child 8/18 and have started back witking out this week. Not doing any core work yet - mostly cardio and moderate weights. I have lost all my pregnancy weight and dome. I think it was fluid snd the fact that the baby blues got the best of me for a few weeks. Thankfully I am over that hump. Congrats on the little one.

Best of luck and mind yourself, I didn't start minding my diet properly till my little one was 9 weeks and sleep in a bit better. Lack of sleep in the early days is very draining. With regards to feeding- drinks lots of water and increase your protein- eggs, fish, Greek yoghurt, even peanut butter. Porridge every morning really fills me! I've lost / stone in 12 weeks and the only real exercise I do is walking with the pram- and housework!!

Best of luck! Anyway I had to look up what 3 stones was (42 pounds) . Congrats on your new little one. My son is 1 1/2 and I just started getting back into the swing of things a few months ago. I'm also 5'2" and when he was born I was 190lbs (i started at 155 when i got pregnant). Now I'm finally at 153. So it's slow going but I've jsut starting running again and weight lifting. it's hard, being a mom is hard. But you can do it. Just do what you always have. It does come back naturally, the idea of eating right. The hard part is getting in the workouts. I run with my son in his stroller (which total adds an addtional 60 pounds to push) and then do my workouts before he wakes up, or during naps. You got this. And you can always add me as a friend :-)
