My second child is 2.5 months now. I thought I looked decent until I saw a picture my husband took of me :/ Now I'm ready to lose the weight!

    I am new here and need to lost the post-baby pounds too. I am a lot more "post" than you are though--my little guy is 10 months old. Third child + being almost forty = baby weight sticking like glue. At least for me.

    I am ready to do this too.

    Me too. I gained less with this baby, but weighed more when I got pregnant though however I was doing rally well gym wise and losing inches, strength training, etc. I'm done having kids so now my endpoint is to get to my wedding weight and then my previous weight watcher goal weight and just assess how I feel with it. So I have to lose about 70lbs. I gained 55 with my first child and lost it by 16 months and was in pretty good shape. My fitness goal right now is to eventually do cross fit. Currently I do BodyCombat and BodyPump. Thinking of adding rollerblading to it and do some more biking. I have a hrm so that keeps me motivated. My big issue is eating enough because I'm a PT work from home mom. Not in a rush. I know it will take time to come off and if I keep doing what I need to it will happen.

    I started back to normal eating/exercising when I stopped pumping for my son in august.

    That's why I originally started on this site back in July. My daughter turns 2 this week. LMAO! Last week, I officially got to the point where I had lost all of my baby weight. It can be done! Good luck :)

    I just had my 6th baby 11 weeks ago. I am so tired of gaining and losing, gaining and losing. I just want to lose all of my weight once and for all. I am having trouble getting motivated. I started exercising a few weeks ago and I want to start this as well. I am ready to do this. Wish me luck!!

    My son is 8 months old and I have lost all of my weight from him but I still have 20 pounds to go to the weight I was before I had my 2.5 year old daughter! I just started on my weight loss journey again and did it with a bang.... took a spin class first thing this morning and did a big grocery shopping trip with tons of veggies, lean meats and some fruits. Good luck to all of you Mamma's on your journey!!!!

    Welcome!!

    I just had my 4th baby 6 weeks ago and have about 13 pounds until my pre-pregnancy weight. I am currently running so that I can do a 10K this summer, and will be throwing in some Jillian Michaels 30DS.

    Good luck to you! Add me as a friend if you would like :)

    I had my third and last child 5 months ago. Finally a girl! It was my 3rd baby in just under 4 years. We are officially done. Last week I actually hit my pre-pregnancy weight, but I am still overweight. I am trying to lose 35 lbs and get a new healthy lifestyle that I can pass on to my young impressionable children, especially my daughter. I hope if I can get these things down now they my kids will grow up thinking that is just the way one lives. And then hopefully my daughter will not have to suffer with the body image issues that I have and will not have to repeatedly try to lose weight.

    Hi I'm new here!!! Just had my baby 2 1/2 weeks ago and want to eat healthy and lose the weight. I gained about 43 pounds and have lost about 23 so far. I am breast feeding so I want to make sure I eat enough and also lose the weight. I feel so jiggly every where!!!! I was in amazing shape before pregnancy and was doing P90x. I will get back to that when I can handle it. I was on modified bedrest for the last 3 months of my pregnancy so I'm way out of shape now:( I just started the diet today and I'm excited to lose the weight with some support from this board:):smile:
