Any other young moms out there trying to lose the baby weight? I just had my second son 6 weeks ago and never fully recovered from my first. I need all the motivation I can get!!

    HI,

    I had my second 4 months ago and my first was only 16 months old, so i can relate. I never fully recovered from my first pregnancy either. I lost about half the weight I put on then got pregnant again. It's feels much hard to loose the weight this time around. But pregnancy does quite a number on our bodies, can't expect it to be the same.

    Support is here if you need. :)

    I am! I had my son 15 months ago and I am now trying to lose my baby weight. I couldn't try to lose weight before because breastfeeding, so now that I'm done (I breastfed for 14 months) and have my boobs back I am trying to get back to my pre pregnancy weight.

    I'm a mum of 3, Had my last bubs 11wks ago.
    I nearly fell over when i seen that i had put on 5kg in about 6ish weeks!
    I have to lose about 8-10kg to get back to my weight prior to this pregnancy.
    My baby doesn't sleep well at night and has bad colic so i find myself constantly eating chocolate!
    But I'm happy to say that i haven't had any since Saturday!

    Goodluck!

    How did you make it that long! I made it about 4 weeks before supplementing... and now pretty much just formula. I would have gone longer, but he just wasnt gaining weight and eating all the time! There is so much more freedom when I dont have him attached all the time, lol.

    Does 29 put me in 'older' mom status? I hope not! My youngest is two but am still dealing with the extra weight I gained from pregnancy. I didn't lose a single pound after having her...it was crazy! Add me for support if ya like :)

    My oldest will be 8 soon, I had actually lost his weight and some a few years ago... but gained it all back plus some! I never got into shape though, and thats a real problem. I only gained 29 with this pregnancy, but I am still up 12 pounds from it. I'd like to lose AT LEAST 30 pounds, but my biggest concern is getting into shape. I can't stand seeing all the fat hanging out the sides -- under the arms, above the bra, above the jeans, back rolls... you know what I mean!

    I had my baby a year and a week ago, I weighed 273 the day I had her and now I weigh 187, which is my lowest weight EVER! lol I still have a bit longer way to go, but it feels so much better now that I'm at a healthier weight.((:

    Yeah, that's normal. Breastmilk is a lot easier for babies tiny stomach to digest, so they eat a lot more. But I don't know how I did it either lol. There were lots of times were I just was just like "omg let's go get some formula". But i was super determined to do it. I didn't really bother me about the freedom either, just because a lot of my friends kind of "dissapeared" when I got pregnant, so I didn't have anything to do lol.

    My husband yelled at me the other morning... apparently I woke up to breastfeed in the middle of the night and said "WTF I want my juicy boobs back", as I was plopping one in his mouth lol. Because I'm doing both breast and bottle, mostly bottle these days, mine have about gone away. I just happened to notice, while half asleep, that I grabbed at a handful (if that) of squishiness. Ugh, I really do miss nice full boobies... mine are too small to deal with the amout of sagging that's going on! LOL
