Postpartum weight loss support

I have been using myfitnesspal on and off for a few years now. I am currently pregnant (due early Jan 2019). This is my second pregnancy. First pregnancy I weighed 198lbs by the end (probably 10 lbs too many) and hoping to control my weight gain a little more this time around (I have very little self control when it comes to food, especially chocolate)! Hoping a group would keep me accountable and motivated.

Goals: cardio (I currently am obsessed with the Bowflex MaxTrainer) 5+ days/week and lift 2+ days/week and eat healthier, more balanced meals (no more than two cookies/day!). Not a big deal if I don't meet my 185lb pregnancy total but seems like a pretty nice goal. Pre-baby weight of 155lbs but ultimate goal weight of 145-150lbs. 6' 1" tall currently weighing 174 lbs with 14 weeks until baby #2.

Hoping to get some tips from others (and also sharing what I have learned) on healthy recipes, dinner ideas, and workout ideas (with a kid basically attached at the hip). Also looking for some ideas to raise children with a healthy relationship to food and keeping them active through life (don't want to screw this parenting thing up too terribly ).

I had my fourth (and final) in August 2017, so she’s almost 14 months. My weight has been up and down, but was actually the lowest about a month after I gave birth to her. Here I am now, a year later and almost 20 pounds heavier! I’m tired of holding on to this extra weight, but I do have to cut myself a break-I’ve has four kids in 8 years, and life is chaotic. I’m ready to really commit to losing the weight, and I’d love any support!

Congrats on the babies! My son is 19 and I've finally lost the baby weight! Down 47 pounds, 3 pounds to goal. Feel free to add me as a friend, I'm on here all the time.

Well done to you ladies brave to have more than two kids. I am struggling to shift a mere 5kg - about 15 lbs. Stress and life cause me to turn to food for comfort. And I end up eating like the kids peanut butter on bread. Lots of bread. On paleo diet I did really well after the first baby but I am not ready to say bye to carbs this time. I'm 2.5 years pp. It's all around my belly. It's where I tend to gain. A friend has recommended progesterone. I'm exploring the benefits of it. In the meantime, eating healthy and exercising.

Hey Amanda
Going to send you a friends request

I just had baby 2 in March he is now 6 month my oldest is 6 and so I feel a little depressed now lately I feel like I will never lose the weight but I just started the gym on Monday hoping to learn a lot from you mommies

I just had my baby 9 days ago... I know I’m supposed to “take it easy” for 6 weeks but I’m going stir crazy. She was my 5th and last baby and I gained 40 freaking pounds during my pregnancy. I am now at 252 and desperate to feel comfortable in my own skin again. My other kids are 6, 5, 2 and 1 so supper time isn’t very healthy most of the time.. definitely need to find kid friendly recipes that are healthier. Chili cheese dogs tonight and I already regret it but I know they will eat it. Uggh.

6 weeks pp with first babe, I gained about 55lbs I'm 5'6. I did really good until about week 35 then ballooned with water weight my weight on day my water broke was 228. I'm currently around 198. I lost the first 30 in about 2 weeks all the water came off and now I'm struggling for anything else. Figured I finally got the go ahead after a C-section to get back to all my activities and start getting back to pre-baby always sit around 175 but would be nice to drop an extra 10. I should add I'm Breast feeding as well so not sure if anyone can offer insight on that. Feel free to follow I also have an open diary and have little will power (don't judge)😣😣😬
