Anyone else trying to loose the baby weight? Support would be great!

Hi my name is Gaelle,
My second baby is now 7 months and i am running out of excuses for not trying to get fit again. Frankly I am tired and I find that I make poor food choices all the time! Any tips or other parents wanting to support each other that would really be great!!

Yesterday my friend , who iz profesional sportman sad, you know, you need at least 10 000 steps each day. Today we discover that I have only 2370 steps till 14. Thats mean that I can not burn down normal callories. I should eat only salads if I will live in this style. He sad I should fist start to live more active. Each day 1hour for activities.

    I'm almost 3 months post partum with my second. I have a bad back so I mostly need to rely on food choices to lose weight, so jumping back into low carb. I'll send you a friend request!

    Hi my name is Angelica and I also have been struggling with losing the baby weight (even though I haven't really tried). I had my second baby 8 months ago via emergency c-section and my stomach just keeps getting bigger and bigger so now I'm ready to get back in shape and get my body back to normal lol

    By the end of the day, it is so hard to be healthy! And i find myself craving sugar soooo bad!! My trick is a glass of water when I feel like cracking not always successful

    Hey all! I could def use some good positive people on this fitness journey! I too had a baby but she is 2 now!! So no more excuses from me! I lost 30 pounds 4 years ago and maintained it well, then had a baby gained 50 pounds and still have 30 to lose. I'm going to be in a wedding in June so even more inspiration to lose. If anyone is wanting to add me as a friend and keep each other on track I'm totally down☺️

    My first baby was born 1/31/17 via unplanned c-section. I was unfortunately at my heaviest when I became pregnant, so baby weight has just compounded that! I'm trying to work on not beating myself up about not being where I was a couple years ago and instead using a starting weight at 2/1/17. Being exhausted and feeling tethered to my baby have been my biggest obstacles. I also feel a lot of guilt when I stare at my pup waiting to go for a walk while I'm on the couch nursing hours a day. Need motivation!! :). Happy to accept a friend request with anyone in a similar boat! I also have ulcerative colitis - would def like to connect with someone working with the challenges of that as well post-partum!

    I had my daughter 8 months ago, and I'm now starting to lose the baby fat. I also have a 5yr old son, and because of him I'm exercising and losing weight. He pointed out that my stomach was squishy and that it jiggles when I walk
