Not surprised to see a lb come back on, after such a big loss I knew some of it had to be fluid, lol. Still doing pretty well with a good downward trend. My weigh fluctuates day to day, of course, but the upper end of the fluctuations is getting consistently lower, and I see new lows regularly . Still not tracking or exercising (rectus abdominis still has some separation and I don't want to make that worse; will wait til it closes before doing any real exercise); just happy to be losing anyway. Will save those strategies for when the loss gets more difficult.

Was hoping for a bigger loss this week, but some is better than none . Slow and steady wins the race! I just keep reminding myself that my daughter is only two months old, and I'm only 18 lbs from goal. It's the fastest I've ever been able to lose baby weight, so while it seems slow and tedious at times, I think I'm doing pretty well.

Even though I am up, I don't think it's what it seems. Today is my first day not pumping if you know what I mean...:) Despite knowing that, I didn't have the best week. I had 3 or 4 good days but then 3-4 bad days with eating. I have been getting in around 3 workouts per week so I think knowing that I can maintain on that level is powerful knowledge. I just need to start making smaller changes to start losing again. Water was good this week and sleep was ehhh. I tend to stay up after the kids are asleep for 'me time' and I just need to go to bed. I feel better when I do.

I have a work trip I leave for tomorrow and I'll be out of town for 5 nights (UGH.) I try to approach it like a game to see how much I can walk and eat healthy but sometimes there are not good choices to choose from and I fall off the wagon. I am bringing my own snacks, some peanut butter and soup to have as a back up (I'll be at a convention center for most of the time) so hopefully this will help keep myself in check.

Good goals @katiebrew ! You are doing amazing!! I'd like to lose 5-10 by Christmas too. I'm glad we are both checking in here!

Nice job @scoopskipotato I would love to see 130 at some point too...although for me it's been many years (decades?!) lol.

Goals: Logging food every day; drinking 96 oz of water per day (this helped the last time I traveled) and getting 3 workouts in while I'm traveling.

Have a good week everyone!

Still not tracking intake or exercising. Will probably start soon, since baby is settling into a more predictable routine and seems to be spacing out nursing sessions.

29 years old 5'3" 18lbs lost so far. I found a piece of paper showing my measurements and weight from when I started working out again after my first baby was born and it was crazy because I started at 159 but my thighs and stomach were several inches larger than they are this time around. I can't believe the difference, I know I have quite a way to go before I can say I'm where I want to be but just knowing that at the same weight I'm two inches smaller in each thigh and 3-4 inches smaller in the tummy area is great motivation. How does that even work?!?

@katiebrew Your baby isn't even a month old and you are under your pre preg weight! Good for you! As far as your skin comment I noticed the same thing with my stomach! It's not nearly as flabby as it was after my first. Even my husband makes comments about how I'm bouncing back so much faster this time and that's a really good feeling. I think it's because I made an effort to at least walk and do my elliptical a few times a week, my first pregnancy my only exercise was walking to the kitchen to get another kit kat bar...

@TANNE21 it looks like you are pretty close to the 130's, you are dropping weight like nobodies business! Good for you for keeping up with your workouts too, it's hard for me to get myself and the babies out of the house even for a walk.

I did much better this week with walking, water, and c-section exercises... except for yesterday, womp womp. I was feeling anxious yesterday about job stuff and also got a bit down about my post c-section stomach while I was out shopping and trying on clothes... and decided it was time to eat all the food and sit on my butt. 6 out of 7 isn't bad, but getting back on track again today. But the scale is going in the right direction at least, so there's that! So another 9 lbs to my first goal weight - I hope to be there by Christmas.

Good losses everyone... how's it going not pumping anymore @TANNE21?

We should be seeing more ladies arriving from the fit fab and pregnant board any day now

Moving over here from the pregnancy boards (only followed, never actually posted.) just gave birth to baby boy #2. With my first I started at 135 and gained 38 lbs. I lost it all, but gained some vacation weight that I never got off prior to getting pregnant this time around. So started at 142 and was 190 (eek!) at delivery. I am 5 days post partum and I've been really watching my intake since I'm not cleared to exercise just yet. I have squeezed in one short walk and plan to do so more often in the upcoming weeks. Today I was at 177. I am EBF and would love the support and accountability of some fellow mamas with similar goals. Would love to slowly, but surely get back down in the 130s where I am comfortable. I've added 500 calories to my usual 1400, so keeping it around 1900 for now. Plan on weighing in on Fridays. Let me know if anyone needs an accountability buddy to check in with:)

@scoopskipotato Honestly, I am thankful my body responded to pregnancy so well, but I am definitely struggling with breastfeeding hunger. I am snacking too much while at home with the little one, so this week I need to focus on my food intake, otherwise I am going to start seeing the scale go the opposite direction. I love that you are losing weight consistently and post regularly on here. I am hoping by being more active on MFP, that I can see the results I want too! Hoping we can be friends, to help motivate each other

I'm just over two weeks post-partum. I was 195 pre-baby and this week I weighed in at 185. Down 10 lbs from my pre-pregancy weight (I credit this to working out right up until I was a week over due). Getting lots of walks in too -- helps calm the baby when he's cranky and it's nice to get out of the house. Eating around 2,000 cals/day. Can't get back to lifting heavy things for a while because of the c-section, so trying to get in what I can.

That's amazing! Great job!!!

This past week was so so for me... went over on calories quite a few times, but at least the scale didn't go up? I was disappointed to not see a move down on the scale yesterday, I'll admit. But I know I could have done better food wise. I didn't get out moving as much as I would have liked in the past week either. BUT I did have my six week check up today and got the all clear to resume normal activity so that was good. I am feeling stronger and stronger every day too... I lowered my calories a tad but am eating back breastfeeding calories but trying not to eat exercise cals. I strapped my jawbone back on too to measure steps. My goal for this week will be to hit my calorie goal and to try to make good food choices... I'll see how supply goes (EBF) and if the scale budges and might re-evaluate calorie intake in two weeks.

Great job @mrsmunde! @scoopskipotato was spot on... you make it look super easy haha!

@scoopskipotato I was weighing myself everyday too... I wasn't seeing crazy fluctuations but was driving myself crazy!!! I am going to try to stay off the scale this week... although I can hear it's siren call as we speak, ugh. who am I kidding, I'll probably step on it tomorrow. I've walked/eaten within my calorie budget two whole days in a row... I totally feel entitled to a bit of a loss now haha!

Welcome @zmama109! I started off a little heavier than you with my first (a boy as well ) but never did take it all off... got my pregnancy weight off and now am working on weight from that first pregnancy haha

@regenhay way to hit the gym... I have been looking at childminding programs at the local gyms but can't bring myself to pay the fees associated with memberships anywhere here (so freakin' expensive where I live) so I'm going to try at home videos/youtube, etc

@tlflag1620 WOOT WOOT! way to be heading in the right direction... I feel like slow and steady is how I want to see it happen for me too!

Have a great week ladies. Thanks for checking in - so nice to have check in buddies. I find it so motivating seeing your progress!

Yay @JustAnotherGirlSuzanne! So glad to see you here! So happy for you! Here's to losing the pregnancy weight (from pregnancy #1!)
