Hey everybody! I'm a 21 y/o breastfeeding mother, who has become increasingly lazy and out of shape since getting pregnant. I was 145 before pregnancy, and a year after giving birth, I'm around 165-170. I want to start P90X in January (A fresh start to the new year), but until then, I want to prepare my body for P90X. I have exercised less than 10 times in the past 2 years! Whenever I decide to do random 1 hour workouts, like I used to do, I can do them, so I'm glad that I haven't gotten too out of shape, but I want to be in way better shape. My goal weight is 115 lbs. I'm hoping to achieve this within a year :)

    Try to find something in your local area such as classes, or clubs. Losing weight is always more fun when you're doing it with someone. join a local moms group, and walk with your strollers together, or take a mommy and me yoga class....Before long you'll be making friends, having fun, and losing weight and it wont even feel like work at all!

    Thatscexactly what I was going to suggest, that's what I did, short brisk walks, they eventually turned into short jogs, then long jogs, culminating in a 10 mile run for charity last week in 1:37

    Good luck x

    Thanks y'all! Has anyone tried Stroller Strides? I'm thinking about trying them, but I'm afraid of being the only mom with a 1 year old lol
