Hi! I'm Bridget a 28 year old peds RN who has an 8 week old daughter. I want to lose this preggo weight asap, but I also want it to stay off, and not affect my breast milk supply.

42weeks preg weight 186
current weight 156
pre-preg weight 135
goal 125

I have a habit of starting diet's and starting off hardcore but not sticking with it. I need to find a happy medium. Also I enjoy working out, but I don't have the time that I used to. Today is day 20 for me of doing Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred since it's quick and I can do it at home. But...no weight loss since I started it... I'm feeling disappointed, and discouraged. I need motivation, and accountability!

    Hi Bridget! I'm also new to this group so feel free to add me! I have been trying to change my awful habits alone the past three years and it's just not working, so I need to be more active in the groups! I am also trying the 30 Day Shred but haven't been so consistent. I've only done level one, what level are you on? If you aren't losing weight, maybe try the next level or grab some heavier weights. I think Walmart sells bands that you can put on your wrists and ankles.

    I start level 3 today. The work out kicks my butt! I think it's changing my shape, but so far not my weight.

    WELCOME! We have VERY similar weights/goals!
    I have a 5 week old - I was 189.2 on my due date (had him 3 days later, not sure on weight!), down to 173 when I got back home and now I'm at 158.2 :) Prepreggo weight this time was 144, but before I got pregnant with my LAST child, I'd gotten down to 128, so my ultimate goal is 130 :)

    Anyway, I'd love it if you'd add me and we can keep up with each other!
