    I had my 1st baby 11/17/11 and am new to here. I'm currently 10 pounds more than my pre-baby, but I'd like to lose 20 pounds.

    Yes!! Had my baby girl December 17 and am now 2 pounds less than my pre-pregnancy weight, but still have a long way to go! I've been mentally preparing myself for this journey months before I delivered, which I definitely think has helped!

    I had my first. Baby 3/2/11.Ya'll can add me,its not easy but I look at as being an example and role model to my son when he. Is old enough to understand.Plus I don't want to have him say "Whoa mommy your fat" like I've seen happen to strangers in public by. Precious kids,that would break my hear so I'm shedding the lbs before he will even notice the difference.

    I had my last baby 10/28/11. I've been working out hard for a month. Took measurements and pics and continue to every 10days. I just joined this site today though. I did 30DS for 20days and now Im doin p90x. I had my tubes blocked in Dec so no more babies. Im ready to get back to my real body... which is losing about 60lbs...

    I had my last baby on August 3rd, 2010. I haven't really tried to get the weight off, but the recent success of a very close friend of mine has inspired me to use this site, workout, and get into the best shape of my life! I want to lose 44 lbs. by the summer time. My friend has already lost 33 pounds, and she's only been doing this for 5 months, so I think this is a realistic goal. :bigsmile: I am here if you want to friend me, I'll be supportive and encouraging the entire way! :happy:

    Yes! I have had 2 babies, my daughter 3/1/07 and my son 6/27/10 and can't get the weight off. Both pregnancies I only gained 20-25lbs and was able to lose that pretty fast, but it never stays off, and the baby belly won't go away! A friend of mine from high school has lost 93lbs since JUNE and has inspired me to want to work harder to try and lose 50lbs by the summer when I go for a visit! :bigsmile: Would love some advise and help! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Me too! My baby was born 5 Feb 2011 and I have 4kg to go until pre-pregnancy weight, plus another 5-6kg for good measure! I'm fairly active, eat well and watch portions, but have a hard time fitting in more exercise! I walk almost everywhere, but I know that I need to really up my HR and exercise to tone everything up. I'd love to be in the lower range of my recommended weight for my BMI and to look good in jeans...

    It doesn't help that I've started my own business in the same year and time just escapes me during the day for exercise! How do you all fit it in daily exercise? HELP!!

    Had my son 21/10/11 so he is 12 weeks. Almost 3 year old twins too.

    I am 14 lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight, but I was in the obese category then so now only overweight. I'd like to lose at least 2 stone, but TBH every other time I have tried to lose weight i have done it by dieting - this time I am doing loads and loads of exercise instead of dieting and just trying to eat well (failing sometimes....) so as long as I look good when I get there I don't mind what weight I am.

    I'm shooting for a 26 inch waist, but to be frank I'm not sure that's possible after the carnage of twins!

    I had baby #6 in April. I lost 15 lbs of the pregnancy weight immediately, then gained it all back over these past 9 months so my starting weight was nearly what I weighed 9 months pregnant. I've got to get this weight off to be the best mom I can be and to keep up with all these kids!

    I had my 4th baby 10-28-11. I put on more weight than any other pregnancy. I had just buckled down and lost the weight from #3 when I got pregnant so this weight is extra frustrating!! I was 125 when I got pregnant and delivered at 192. The baby was 8 lbs. You do the math!

    Had my first baby 9/23/11 :O) Since I was already so overweight, I only gained 10 lbs. Right now, I am down 45! The first 2 months was mostly from not having time to eat, and carrying him around all day. I've been really keeping track on here since November and I've lost almost 20 lbs. I'm really trying to figure out how to add more exercise and I'm in my 2nd week back at work where I sit all day. I EBF so I'm pumping 3 times at work too... Just made up my mind to do this. I have about 50 lbs left to loose. We can do it ladies!!! Feel free to add me!

    I had my first baby 9/23/2000 and before prepreg I was 105-108 lbs. After I had him I was at 120 lbs. 8 months later I got pregnant again and had another boy in early 2002. After him I weigh up to 155-160. Took me almost 7 yrs to lose 15 lbs to 140. Boy was I fat. Got pregnant 5 yrs later and had another boy in 2007. After I had him I got down to 140-145 but I was never able to lose the weight til I got serious with logging my food and exercising. I finally got down to 122lbs but then I got pregnant again in and delivered my daughter on June 8 2011. I lost weight so fast with her. I'm 7 months post preg now and I currently weigh 118 lbs. I haven't done much but noticed a change when I did JM 30 DS and Ripped in 30. Only 1 more pound to go til I reach my goal weight of 117 and its to be done by 2/2012. My ugw is 110-115.

    My 2nd baby just turned 6 months old and is FINALLY sleeping through the night.

    I struggled with the weight loss because I could not find any time or energy to workout.

    That is when Advocare found me. I started and completed the 24 Day Challenge and within 24 days I lost 7.6 lbs, 6 inches and 2 dress sizes...it took me almost 1 year with my first to get back into pre preggo clothes. This time....after my second baby I am already back in. AND....I have so much energy!!!!

    I would love to share more with you. Message me!!!
