    I have 3 times baby weight for all three of my booger butts:) it took me three years to lose baby weight from my 1st baby now I've gained it all back with the other two!

    OH man, when I read "Booger butts" I legit laughed out loud :'D I've got 4 of those, my youngest being 15 months, my oldest being 11.

    I have about 10 pounds left (down 10 from my starting). I'll likely be sending a friend request to all you ladies :)

    I wish losing the baby weight was my problem. I've successfully lost that and have lost an additional 40 pounds. Sounds great but I still need to lose another 30. Baby is a week shy of 9 months.

    I'm not personally worried about loose skin. If it happens it happens.

    I've offically got about 30 pounds of baby weight and then another 30 of prebaby. I'm really concerned, that at my age, once I lose the weight there'll be a lot of excess skin to deal with. I think that is worse than being overweight so maybe I have to shoot for 40 pounds or so. Or maybe that is an excuse? I'm curious to know your thoughts. I just turned 50 btw.

    Lift weights as part of your routine.

    Just wanted to stop by and say it's possible ladies. The key is PATIENCE. My son will be 4 next month. I gained 45 lbs with him (went from 145 to 190). It took me a year to get down to 142/143. My twin girls are 14 months now. I gained 55 lbs with them (went from 145 to a little under 200...around 198ish). I weighed myself on Aug 1st and I'm 136. I lift weights and run right now but throughout both of these journeys I've completed T25, Jillian Michael's various programs--30 Day Shred, Kickbox Fast Fix...just to name a few, Jessica Smith walking routines, Fitbess Blender workouts and various HIIT exercises with Julia Bognar.

    I've been focused and not focused this entire time. Life happens, discouragement sets in sometimes but results will come will your willpower reigns.

    Good luck to you all.

    You're probably right. I sometimes think about the people you see who lose a lot of weight and then have so much loose skin that they are traumatized by it. You can't get rid of it without surgery. It's so hard to imagine. I guess we'll see what happens.

    I think lose skin varies from person to person. Depends on your height, how quickly you lost the weight (and probably how long you were at a higher weight), and genetics. I say go for it and then deal with what comes. With my first pregnancy I was about 260 before giving birth. I got down to 191 (which was 4 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight) and I had no loose skin (I'm 5'9"). I lifted weights and did cardio and I felt strong and muscular ... that's my goal this time around too!

    I was a big girl when i had my daughter and gained in the years after having her until i was 387lb
    I lost alot and got pregnant a decade after having my daughter but was really ill and got to just over 200lb during pregnancy and i gave birth at 25 weeks!.
    Also developed hypoglycaemia which they treated by having me eat 4 biscuits every hour lol
    At 6 months post partum and breastfeeding i had gone back up to 260lb and have been slowly working on dropping back down while keeping my milk supply up and the hypoglycaemia at bay ( struggle with that, had a hypo 2 nights ago )
