    Im not a super new mom, but we have the same weight loss goal :) my little one is 16 months old.

    I am back at my pre pregnancy weight although i didnt really gain much during. I mainly did after we moved and remodeled our kitchen. All that take out for 6 weeks until everything was done took its toll on my waist. But im hoping to shed 30 pounds ultimately.

    My son is four months and I've been working out and tracking calories since he was two months. I'm down 23lbs with 7 more to go until I'm at my prepregnancy weight and 57 until I hit my goal. This is my second baby and I didn't lose any of the weight from the first. Breastfeeding is helping the weight come off plus I go to the gym five days a week while my oldest is in school.

    Don't sweat working out too much since eating at a calorie deficit will definitively make you lose.

    Hello! I also 6 weeks post. We have similar goal! I have about 5-7 pounds til I'm back to my pre pregnancy weight. I would like to get tone and in shape more so than lose a bunch of weight. I'm 5'3 130 lbs currently. My goal would be 115 though. Are you breastfeeding? I am so have to keep that in mind while getting back into shape.

    HI all. My youngest is 4 mo today! I have 11lbs of baby weight left to lose (out of 60!). Then maybe another 4 and then add some muscle. Breastfeeding mine as well, so trying to balance my desire to get this weight off and keep my supply up :)

    My youngest is 3.5 months. I've been back at this for 2 months and I've lost 17lbs. I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I'd like to lose another 20lbs.

    Yes I am breastfeeding also. I know it helps get the weight off but I would rather be toning up while I am loosing rather than just loosing weight.

    I think we all have similar goals! We can get this done ladies!!!

    Is anyone interested in checking in here daily or whatever for support and encouragement? I am going to really get at it after the holidays. I'm not going to go crazy over the next week but might as well have a starting point!

    That is something I would be interested in! I like meeting new mommies as well! I haven't begun working out yet. I want to get my calorie intake in order first then I will begin. Also would like to hear how you ladies are eating healthy!

    I am the mom of 2 boys. My older son is 3.5 and autistic and my new baby is 8 months old. In the process of both pregnancies, my husband was cheating on me. We tried counseling a few times and I finally got to my breaking point and moved out this past June. After moving out, I ate away my emotions and pain. I put on about 30 pounds over the summer. By the time Labor Day rolled around, I was thoroughly disgusted with myself and decided it was time to do something. I started doing T25 and watching my diet more closely, and I'm down 80 pounds!! It's amazing how quickly the weight can go on!

    I have a 3 month old! Just restarting my journey again. Before pregnancy 155..I lost 30 some lbs. After pregnancy 186, CW is 167.

    I'm doing sort of a Keto diet like I did last time. I work out in the morning or after work, when ever i have time. 30 minutes of cardio.

    Add me if you like.

    I just had my daughter (my 3rd child) September 29th. I'm trying to get back into my goal of losing weight. Before I got pregnant I was 215lbs. After I gave birth I was 205. I'm now at 203. My first goal is to hit 175. Then go from their.
