After baby body: Claiming my shape back, who's in?

I have 3 kids, gained 20kg, lost 5kg.
I'm ready to claim my body back since the factory is now closed.
Struggling to stick to my calories, especially when Im tired. The nibbling on the minions leftovers is my biggest problem.

Hello mamas! Hopefully it’s not too late to join!
My daughter is 1.5 now. My only progress so far is losing weight but that’s it. Nothing else’s the same anymore especially my midsection. It was flat and I could even see a bit abs before I found out I was pregnant, but now it’s a lovely pile of loose skin (my daughter loves to poke it with her tiny fingers lol)

While my food choice hasn’t been that great for the past several weeks (due to the stress from loosing sleep and worrying about the impact from this pandemic), I started this challenge to myself on April 1 to workout everyday for the entire month. I was never committed to working out everyday before and thought it’s too tiresome, but turns out it’s not that bad (just need to space things out).

For the remaining part of the week I’ll be focusing on just completing my daily workout & giving myself a chance to tone back the aggressive snacking habit lol. Starting from next week I want to add other goals:
- Seriously cutting sugary food intake
- Drinking more water
- 2-3 solid weight training sessions (other days will be kickboxing and hopefully yoga)
- Play more & be more patient with my toddler

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Hi girls , I would love to join

I am a mum of 2 , with the newborn 7 months old I am ready to get active again especially before I go back to work in the covid crisis .

I was 70kg (154lbs ) and since joining mfp 10 days ago , I think I am now about 67kg .

My fitness goal is to have more stamina again and a toned/leanbody which is my natural disposition .
My weight goal is to be 60kg ( although I was 55kg before kids ).
My clothes size goal is a uk size 10-12 . Again before kids I was an 8-10 depending on the shop but post babies and with hips expanding I am thinking 10-12 is more realistic .

My struggles are :
* I like food .
* I struggle with portion control .
* I am at home with the kids so limited exercise

My solution to that is :
* to get my calories from healthy foods such as lean protein and plenty of veg .
* If I am craving a snack eat fruit and veg and drink water
* do an exercise video with the kids every day. Keep active around the house aiming for 3000+ steps .
* Do a 30 minute rowing session on the tower every other day when the kids are in bed .

Hi girls, I’m going to add you too !
My name is Lucie, I live in France, I have a 2 year old and I’m struggling to lose those last 3 kilos. It’s the 3 kgs that always keep me from my ideal weight... Before my pregnancy I’d lost 7kgs with MFP. Can do it again ! 💪

Hey there, my little one is 4months now. I'm ebf but the weight is not 'falling off by itself' as it does for some apperently want to loose 5kg (7-8 would be friggin great) and get in shape. Will add you alright!?

Hi!!! I'm a mom of 7!!!
Yes it can be crazy busy!!!
But I'm looking for a real buddy!!
Accountability is really what pushes me to success i've seen in the past.
My goal is to lose 20 kilo within 8 months . My biggest challenge i would say is consistency in working out and meal prep. being a mom of 7 and accumulated baby weight. i have good knowledge in fitness and healthy eating but i seem to be putting myself last with no one to answer to.... when i try to hide from pictures i know its gone too far....

anyone interested in an accountability partner that we can help each other reach each others goal. i am very dedicated when i know someone is counting on me and hope the other person can reciprocate.

As Nike says....let do it!!!😎

Hi, I’m determined to get back in shape/lose my pregnancy weight. Just had my second child 4 weeks ago and want to lose 30lbs+ and just get fitter/healthier in general

Hi Ladies!!

I’m so ready to claim my shape back! I’m tired of wearing baggy shirts to hide that I still have a belly (33 months pp).

I would like to start working out just lacking the motivation..... any tips or suggestions?

I totally get it! running around the house with Littles all day...working out is about the last thing i want to do.
I hate running so I like the walk at home videos.
Dance That Walk by Gina B is a great series. she has workouts from about 10 minutes to 45 minutes so you do what you feel up to and have time for.
I had good results using them I lost about 20lb.
Now I'm using an app called Lose Belly Fat
It's a 30 day 15 minute workout plan 3 days on 1 day off- you burn around 290-375 calories per workout.
You can do it!

Count me in!

I have an 8 year old daughter whom I lost the baby weight plus 20 pounds a year after she was born. Then I had two boys (now 5 and 2) and I’m really missing my body before.

Feel free to add me! We are in this together!!

Hi mum's! This is exactly the group I was looking for!
Im looking for accountability, support and some mamma company while I lose my last 10kg. 2 kiddos under 5, also moved to a new continent with a newborn, turning 40 in 3 months (yikes!) And feel like my body is like a bowl of jelly!

I've lost over 20kg on MFP over the years and after both pregnancies.

Hi ladies,
Just a quick update.
Thanks for those who have added me as a friend, I’ll send you a message after I comment here!
I’m down a bit more- 61.85kgs / 136.4lbs.
I’m enjoying mutu system but it really is all about core /flat stomach and not burning lots of calories. I’m only at the end of week 2 (I don’t do it everyday) but I’m already feeling a slight improvement in my tummy.
I’m still not walking. As soon as I do it flares up my coccyx pain (which I hadn’t felt since 2017 - took about a year to settle after my first), so I’m either doing something wrong or my core isn’t strong enough. 🤷‍♀️
