Losing Weight!

I saw a few posts but I wanted to see what you ladies were doing and how far you have come with it. 

 I started weight watchers when LO was 2 weeks old and have lost 48 of the 63 I gained with him.  I am BFing with a little supplementation because dear AF came back and twice this month!  I will be starting to walk/run today and doing the 30 day Shred.

Re: Losing Weight!

  • Wow, that's great!! Good job and congratulations! I don't know about you, but I had a little weight to lose BEFORE I started gaining with LO. I have 4 more pound to lose until I'm pre pregnancy weight, and then I have 18 more to lose after that...

  • Congratulations! That's awesome!

    I BF'd and still had 6lbs left to lose, so I did the 30-Day Shred. You probably saw my before/after pics I posted last week. I got GREAT results. Much more tone now and lost 5lbs of the 6lbs!

     I am right there with you!  Once I get these pesky 15 pounds I would love to see an additional 20lbs off.  Our BFP was a BIG SURPISE!  I lost about 15 before I found out that I was pregnant so I was trying really hard to get back to where I was by 12/5.  I am pretty happy so far but I still have a ways to go!

     eesome- Your before/after pictures are the ones that insipred me to dust off the shred.  If I can lose 6 lbs and look like that I would dance naked in the streets!  This weekend was a whirwind but I am back to focused!

  • I'm not big about doing workout DVDs or going to the gym - I just don't enjoy those things that much. So I get my workouts being outside. If the temp is over 40 that's warm enough for me to get out on a walk with DH and LO (just bundle him up in the stroller or Ergo!). We also hike in the mountains most weekends unless it's too cold. In addition, DH and I often do things like light weight lifting, push ups, jumping jacks, squats/lunges while watching football or whatever on TV. I used to run, and may take it back up eventually, but I've found that my current routine keeps me pretty healthy so I may just wait until LO is older b/c right now I want my free time to be spent with DH and DS!
  • Good for you! That is an awesome achievement! I haven't done anything yet but my husband said I could by a jogging stroller so that is my goal.

  • That's awesome! I've heard only good things about weight watchers- a lot of my friends have had success with it!

    I gained 40 pounds while pregnant and I still have about 8 to lose. I'm doing the Shred and I'm starting back up with my running. In a few weeks I'll start training for a half marathon, so I'm hoping that will get me back to normal!

  • I gained 32lbs with DS and have been really lazy and haven't got my butt doing anything :( I only have 3lbs to be pre-pregnancy weight.  I did however get to the gym on the weekend for the first time lol.  I really want to do the Shred (more so after seeing before/after shots) but yet again i need to get me a copy to do that.  Guess I should get on that!!!!

  • I was fortunate that while I gained 34lbs with DD I had dropped 30 of it within the first 10ish days. I am now down to about 8lbs less than pre-pregnancy, but I still have another 13lbs to go to be where I would like to settle.

    I was doing the Shred for a while, but then I kind of lost motivation! Is there anyone planning to do it through December (I know this may be a daunting task with the busy nature of the holidays)?

    I would love to get most of those last few pounds off before I look to go back to work in January because DH told me he would buy me a bunch of new work clothes once I reach my goal weight.
