    Pretty soon your baby will be helping. My 13 month old runs around like a maniac. I just can’t wait til spring where days are longer and I can take her outside to run and on runs/walks pushing around her jogging stroller.

    Yeah I'm looking forward to him walking to run around and get me moving. For now I've looked up some workout ideas I can do with him.

    Oh that sounds like a good idea. I also started going to yoga classes near my house after baby had gone to bed. It can be good to have some time to yourself to relax, unwind, and get a workout all at the same time.

    I have been told of yoga a lot recently . I might just have to check it out . Time to myself and unwind sounds like something gotta do sometimes.

    I enjoy yoga, but I also really enjoy that is convenient for me. It could be spin class, Zumba, or meeting up with a friend at the gym. Anything you think you will enjoy that fits into your life :)

    I also recently had a baby and I'm ready to lose some of the extra weight and feel healthy again. I'm also looking to lose 20 pounds. I would love the support of another mom.

    don't think of it as weight to lose - think of it as fitness to gain - lost of skinny unhealthy people out there - eat clean resistance training cardio 3 times a week - sounds basic but fitness is pretty simple - its the execution that sucks sometimes

    oh and a glass of wine on Friday night - gotta remember to treat yourself

    This!!

    Have to say in my experience the people I train UNIVERSALLY more successful with a good support system

    Absolutely!! I've literally just spent the last 30 mins commenting on my friends' updates, just to let them know that I AM here for them and celebrating right along with them!

    Congrats on your little one. My lb is 19 months now. I think what got the baby weight off for me was to drink lots of water, push the buggy everywhere, exercise during naps (even just a 5 min work out each nap) and make some me time daily x
