in Getting Started
Hey pals!! I’m 26 and just had my second baby 4 months ago. I exclusively breastfeed. I have been making changes here and there and working out maybe 2-3 times a week since his birth but I’m ready to commit all the way! And with having 2 little ones it isn’t always easy. So I’m looking for some mom friends or even non mom friends to share ideas, motivation and tips with! Feel free to add me :)!!

    How has everyone’s week been so far? I’ve been on track for the most part! I’m learning to balance family meals. Sometimes I just have to eat something else

    My kids (mainly my toddler) have been very bored this week so we made cupcakes (bad idea) and they’ve been keeping me very busy and yesterday I was not feeling the cooking thing so we ordered out. I’m having a hard time convincing my spouse we need to pick a somewhat healthy option if we are going to eat out! So I worked a little harder today to make up for it. Really want to stop doing that! What do you moms do when you just don’t feel like cooking??

    When I don't feel like cooking, I go for the convenience meals. The brand "kids fresh" has some healthier frozen options for the kiddos. I.e. sneaking veggies into their recipes. I buy the chicken nuggets and mozzarella sticks. They have lower calories and a decent amount of protein.

    A little late to the party but hi all! I’m a first time mom to a 12 week old baby girl. I’m about 30lbs heavier than I was before I got pregnant and it’s killing me. Before, I was in the gym 5-6 days a week and eating really well...I was in great shape. Now that summer is arriving I tried on a bunch of my shorts and NOTHING FITS. Like the original poster, I’m exclusively breastfeeding my little one so I want to lose weight in a way rbag doesn’t cause issues with my milk supply. Feel free to add me!

    I would like to be friends! I have a 2.5 year old (Pls God help me!! haha) and I am so fat that I feel horrible looking in the mirror. I gained a lot when I was pregnant and then just kind of lost the plot with the sleepless nights etc. I started over 10 days ago and I've lost already 2kg by just changing some small habits. I know how great group support can be so PLS add me as friend :smile:

    Loving this thread! My baby girl turns one in June 😭😭😭 just wanted to encourage us all with my story;

    I was obese going into pregnancy and did really well only gained 4kg during pregnancy which I managed to lose quite effortlessly by 6 weeks postnatal- but then the reality of no sleep kicked in and surviving on sugar slowly but surely my weight crept up and up until I was nearly the heaviest I have been in Feb 2020!

    I was hospitalised with Covid19 on Mother’s Day in March and separated from my daughter for 4 horrible days where I thought I wouldn’t make it out alive. Hearing them talk about me being “high risk” because of my weight It gave me the courage when I was discharged to really take back control of my life. I decided to fully commit to calorie counting on mfp (was on WW on and off for years pre pregnancy) and since being in a deficit I’ve lost 8kg in 3 months!

    In terms of exercise I used to love powerlifting but as the gyms are closed I’m doing barre 3 workouts at home & go for walks with baby in the buggy about 3-4times week. I’d like to increase my exercise more when she starts nursery in June and maybe join a spinning studio!

    My goal is to keep going and hopefully lose some more kg!

    Please feel free to add me as a friend so we can continue to support eachother

    I’m a mom of 3 boys ages 5, 4, and almost 2. I have found workouts that I love and my struggle is the kitchen so I came back to MFP to hold myself accountable. Everything that goes in my mouth goes in the diary. My food diary is open on here too. Feel free to add me mamas 🤗❤️

    Hi, I'm Reecy, mum of 3 (5, 2 and 8 month old). Have at least 50 lbs to get rid, I run 3 times a week and looking to add home workouts to the mix. I would love to get back into my pre mum jeans. I eat healthy during the day but then binge on crap at night, trying to sort that. Feel free to add me, will keep my diary up to date.
