Final Goal weight 130

How does that sound?
I need some warm hugs and motivation!

    Hi, I am with you! My "baby" is a bit older than yours however. She is 3 years old. I have 10 more lbs to lose and I will be at my goal weight. I hope you keep up your motivation! I know it can be very tough. My problem is FOOD! I love sweets too much, but that is something I am trying to take control of. I plan on gradually introducing clean eating into our home as well as having to make gluten free foods for my 3 year old. She was diagnosed with Celiac Disease so we have been trying to master gluten free eating. It is very difficult to change the way you have been eating after 30 years, but it's a necessary change.

    Good luck to you!!

    My little boy is 9mths old. I've lost the majority of my baby weight really easily but the last 14lbs are just refusing to come off(currently 146lbs, 5'3"). I can't seem to stay motivated and fall back on takeaways when I've had a tiring day with the kids (I also have an 8yr old girl) xxx

    I am pretty delayed on the weight loss as well, my son is 15 months old. I have always been over-weight however.

    Height: 5'10
    Pre-pregnancy weight: 200lbs
    My weight the day I gave birth: 270lbs
    Current weight: 235lbs

    My goal weight is 155lbs so I have quite a ways to go.

    I've not had a baby, but I think that Tracy Anderson's 'Post-Pregnancy' workout may be useful to you.

    [I do it sometimes!! Lol] It's a really grate workout, but I may be biased as I love Tracy!!

    Hope this helps :) xx

    Great job getting on the wagon soon. And good luck losing those pounds!
    Regarding recipes... loads of vegetables with lesser salt and spice. :--) More protein and multigrain.

    Sigh, I KNOW what I should do, I just have to do it!
