Woohoo 90 days on mfp today and I'm down 25lbs! My mommy tummy hang over is almost gone. I wasn't sure if it would actually actually go away away. I was worried it was going to just be loose skin hanging there forever.

I had that kidney infection then a nasty allergic reaction to the antibiotic they put me on. That was worse than the infection itself! I was out of commission for almost 2 weeks! With Christmas and new years thrown in there... well, things were pretty crazy! But, I'm better now!

My treadmill is all set up and I'm loving it! Sometimes I don't get on until 9pm, but now I've got no excuses! My goal is 1 mile minimum walking or running every day. I'm doing great, and well exceeded it most days. Running is still hard, 2 miles at best, but fitness is creeping back up.

I was below my new years target weight, so I was happy with that. Hoping to see a number in the 150s this week! I'll hopefully be about 20 lbs from goal at that point. Seems so much more attainable! Feeling motivation and dedication, which is nice. I've got this! !

Hello everyone! Most of you may remember me from the fall babies pregnancy thread. My baby was due September 1, but I had a placental abruption at 32w and had to have an emergency c-section. My son Llyr is doing well. He's 6 months old now!

Our biggest struggles have been with feeding. He couldn't nurse until he was 6 weeks old, and even then his weight gain was slow, so I had to keep pumping for him around the clock in addition to nursing. Now I just have to nurse him all day long. I truly don't get a break! Thank goodness I work from home and can nurse him as I sit at my computer. The downside is that I have no time to myself, and I haven't gotten back into a fitness routine. I've also been using my milk supply as an excuse to eat a ton. Unsurprisingly, I'm still 10 lbs above my pre-pregnancy maintenance weight.

I'm here for the motivation to make good choices most of the time, and to try to find ways to fit in exercise. But right now I'm more concerned about the baby's weight than mine. He won't always be this demanding... or this snugglable.

My little guy is just about six months now and still has me up every two hours at night. It's exhausting but can't last forever right? Ha ha. I'm 1.5lbs from my prepregnancy weight and almost 30lbs from when I started. I just tried on my prepregnancy jeans and they fit better than before I was pregnant!

Owen is 10 weeks now and doing fairly well. According to our scale, he may even be close to 15lbs already. He took his 2 month vaccines like a champ and just ended up sleeping most of the day to feel better. We've had to go the cloth diapers route cause disposables seem to cause a reaction for him immediately, so another learning process!

As for me, food and exercise has been going well. My January SW was 240 and my most recent weight was 231.8 which puts me at losing 24 out of the 45 I gained during pregnancy. Unfortunately I have already started my period and that certainly doesn't help the scale =P

We use cloth. If you get the right diapers they are fantastic. We had terrible diapers with my first and quit by about three months. This time around we got glow bug diapers and they are amazing. My only problem is I have a high efficiency washer that doesn't clean them properly because it doesn't use enough water but we just got a new washer that is a normal one so hopefully that fixes the issue.

We use cloth too! My diaper stash is on the third bum, so some is getting g kind of ratty... but I still love them!

@ragenhay1 I have a HE washer and solved my routine issues with a cold "soak" cycle before I wash! Hope the new washer helps! I'd actually love to "downgrade" to a top loader!

How's everyone doing? Hopefully trucking along well!

My weight loss has been miserably slow in February. I've been in the same weight range this whole month pretty much. Started around 232ish and am currently 230.6 so it's a bit slow but a loss is still a loss, I suppose! We'll be flying mid-April to see my family and I'm already anxiously worrying about flying with the kiddo. =P To make matters worse, the only flight we can get has a 5 hour layover. Maybe the little one will just get a lot of sleep that day.

@sarieth05 a loss is a loss!! Celebrate it! plus you're that much closer to the 20s!

This week's weigh in got me to the "10 lbs to go!" Since I started in October, at the 4 week postpartum mark I've lost 36.6 lbs! It's felt easier, somehow than other times I've lost... don't know if my motivation is just more, or I've gotten "good" at tracking etc. But I'm not having too much trouble staying the course. My goal was to hit 1lb under prepregnancy before we go to visit my best friend April 16th. My "in 5 weeks" reminder at the end of the day puts me at or below where I want to be! For the most part my pants all fit now, but I need some serious tone or something. I think sometimes I forget that I've had 3 kiddos and am getting ever closer to 40! Im so close to goal now, and so stinkin' proud ive taken if off! The old me would still be carrying it around (plus the gain from the others to boit!) So i feel fantastic about myself most of the time... but still feel frustrated some days. I have to get past that I guess because the skin sag and flab are part of me now I suppose! I'll see what I can do about making it better, but I suspect the damage has been done!
