Im Holly, ive been here a couple of days after failing to diet several times over the past few months. My idea of diet then was stop eating chocolate! That was just the tip of the iceberg now ive seen what i was actually eating.

So, im on track now and doing well so far. Im 5 foot 8 and weigh 15 stone/210lb and my goal weight is 160lb, possibly a few more depending on how i feel when i get there. I gained about 40lb when i was pregnant with my daughter (she's 8 months old now so no excuse there anymore) and gained another 10lb afterwards.

So, its time to shift the weight and it will definitely happen this time!

Any more fellow mums losing the baby weight?

    Running and trying to watch what I eat. I'm in the military and they only give us 6 mths to get back in shape and do our PT test. I'm 5'8 as well and my goal is 164 (eventually down to 150)

    I am trying - my daughter is 18mths now. Since I've had her I've lost 34.7kgs but I still have another 10kgs to go. I'm finding the last 10kgs is the hardest. I probably need to lose more than the 10kgs but for now I'll stick with that or else I'll feel over whelmed & give up. Good luck everybody :)

    Yes!! My baby is 3 years old..and I am trying to lose the weight so you're kind of ahead of the game :) I'm just starting out and it definitely can be difficult with the holidays approaching and having a family who might be eating things that you really shouldn't. All you can do is stay focused and remember your goal..it's ok to splurge from time to time but don't make it a repeated thing everyday..if that makes sense?? Lol..good luck!!

    I'm also trying to get this weight off after baby #2! My son is 2 and my daughter 7 months. There's a great, supportive group, called "Moms on a mission" if you would like support. Seems like a great group of moms!

    Hey ladies! I am losing baby weight too. I lost 60 lbs after my first who is now 4 and my second is not quite 3 months old. I've got about 30 lbs to lose from this pregnancy...and about 70 I should have taken care of a long time ago. Let's go girls-time to be hot mommas!!

    My son will be the big ONE in less than a week... and I have lost all my baby weight and then some. I gained a little over 40 lbs during my pregnancy, and have since lost a total of 56 lbs. TRUST ME... it wasn't easy!!! But my advice is to start now.. which is exactly what you're doing... terrific! Best of luck to you... IT CAN BE DONE! :flowerforyou:

    Edit to add: My profile pic is from a couple of weeks after he was born to when I reached my initial goal weight in September!
