Wednesday i will be 6 weeks postpartum which means i can start to workout again. I am breastfeeding so i know that it burns an extra 500 cal a day. Breastfeeding and walking around with a 10lb baby all day is the only working out that i have done so far. I would like to know when did you guys start to workout after having your baby and what did you do?

I was very naughty and started weights work about 4 weeks PP... gotta be careful with the abs so that the separation of the middle muscles (forgot the name) don't get worse.
I then started running/walking at 8 weeks, the running at 10 weeks, very short distances though to start wtih. I also bub in a stroller and went for two hour walks because I knew she would sleep in those two hours.
Best of luck with your weight loss journey!0 -
I started walking 2.5-3 miles every day-every other day at about 3 weeks postpartum and hopped on the elliptical at 5 weeks. I had a pretty easy delivery and recovery. I could only do 5-10 mins back then. Now, I walk and do an hour on the elliptical. To be honest, I expected to notice that I was burning calories from nursing, but I can't. The weight isn't "melting off" for me like so many people told me it would and I have friends who experienced this but I am not so lucky. It could have something to do with the fact that I gained 80 freakin' pounds haha. But really, be prepared for some serious cravings and hunger surges from breastfeeding as your little one grows. Congrats on becoming a new Mom!0
