Hello!

Any mama's out there looking to get back to a pre baby weight?

I am a mom of two, a four year old girl and 7 week old son. My goal is to get back to my pre baby weight before my first one and then some to get to a healthy range. That comes out to losing about 50 pounds. I'm hoping getting healthy will equal more energy for my two kiddos! :)

    I can definitely relate. I'm mom to 3 beautiful girls and although my smallest is 2, the weight just never came off. My goal is also to get back to pre-baby weight. I'm sending you a request so we can cheer each other on!

    Same here! My kids are 4 1/2 yrs & 13 months. I have not lost any weight since having my youngest. In fact I've actually gained weight

    It really is. Especially being mom's...I know I always feel like my kids needs come first, I'm sure you do to. That usually means I am sacrificing eating decent and exercising to make sure they eat and are taken care of! Time to put ourselves first! In the long run it will be worth it!

    Yes I can relate. I'm a mom of 2 girls a 2 yr old and an 11 month old, birthdays next month. Iv been trying to get rid of baby weight from my first. I was 125 before both my kids with my first I went up to 188 pounds..... not my best moment especially since I struggled to loose the weight. I then got pregnant with my 2nd about a year after and went from 175 down to 160. But now I'm struggling to loose the weight, my goal is to be around 130. Iv been at this for a month and I'm down to 155.

    Trying to do the same. Have a three year old girl and a 3 month old girl. Just started trying to lose the 40 pounds baby weight plus an extra 30 pounds to get to a healthy weight. I have been doing good so far but would like the extra motivation form others who are trying to achieve the same goals. Anyone can add me

    I have a 10 week old and I need to lose 28 lbs of baby weight but would like to lose 13 besides that. That would be ideal, but at this point I want to focus on the 28 lbs.

    Congratulations to all of you ladies! Your children are very fortunate to have you as mothers! Especially when you want to be in good health. I had my fourth child 10 months ago, and the toughest part is probably losing the baby fat. Though I am 10 pounds below my prepregnancy wait I still have to lose more because I have a boxing tournament coming up in a couple of months. I would love to support all of y'all!

    I'm in the same boat. I just had my second son 5 months ago. I did loose the pregnancy weight but I want to loose another 15 lbs. I've been wanting to loose that weight for the past 5 years but I've just been making excuses. I'm so ready and would love to cheer you on and all the other mommy's here

    I can relate and could definitely use some cheerleaders!!! :-) I used my fitness pal five years ago to lose about twenty pounds and stay there for several years so it really is do-able. We went through some really stressful times recently between trying to get pregnant, a difficult pregnancy, and delivering at 27 weeks/5 month NICU stay, where during all of that I managed to put on an extra 50 pounds.

    It's at the point now where I really need to lose this weight. I am trying to start by cutting out the calories where I can because I'm not sure how I can fit workouts into my life right now with taking care of my daughter. She still requires a lot of medical care at home and it's hard for me to find any time for myself. I'd be open to any ideas though! :-)

    I have a 17 year old & a 19 month old, I can relate! It was definitely easier to get back in shape when I was younger.
    If any of you ladies want to add me feel free, I'd love to share & get new ideas for working in exercise with a little one around :smile:

    I'm here with yah. I have an almost 3 year old girl and a 5 month old son and so far I have lost the baby weight from both kids finally. A lot of hard work at the gym with a trainer and healthy eating and lots of cardio. Now I'm losing past the baby weight and working on my goal to get where I want to be. I have about 75 pounds to do that.

    Late to this post but in the same boat if anyone wants to add me. I am a mom to 3. 17, 8 and 7 weeks! This last pregnancy was extremely rough and I'm the heaviest I've ever been. Looking to drop about 45 lbs.

    I have a 10 month old, I dropped 30 lbs by month 8 with myfitpal and weight watchers. I'm now pregnant and still nursing my baby so my calorie count is sooooo confusing. I'll jump right back into WW after baby is born! I joined with my mom and she is down 50lbs looks and feels fabulous. I would say just keep going even if you have a bad day get right back into it!

    Me too! I gave birth to my first daughter 4 weeks ago and have 10 lbs left and I'd like to lose a few more. It's not too much but I had major gestational diabetes and I really want to get rid of the weight and keep my better eating habits so the GD can go away.
