FYI : Im sitting here eating Sour cream & Onion chips and drinking white wine LOL

So Im just wondering how many of you have gone or started going to the gym since your LO was born.

I have a free 1 week pass to the Fitness World down the street and I just cant get off my but to use it. I only work 2 days a week and have no excuse b/c FI is at home durring the day too.

I dont have much to loose, but lots of flab to tone....

    Not me and I'm totally ashamed.  I keep saying that I'm going to go back to the gym and go to spin class, etc.  The gym I used to go to even has a daycare in it that is good from everyone I know that uses it.

    I SAH and have virtually no excuse to not go to the gym but I am lazy and would rather do something else.

    I have no problem complaining about my flab though.

    Haha, not me! I haven't hit a gym since... ummm... 2007??? I think... Sad, I don't even remember! Too expensive, personally, plus I get more exercise hauling around my 18lb monkey while window shopping at a mall for 3 hours, than walking on a treadmill at the boring gym for an hour Stick out tongue

    I pay for it ever month. Does that count? I haven't used it in over a year and this stupid contract isn't up yet.

    I am!  I also walk, ride my bike, hike and do workout DVD's at home.  I have lost all my pregnancy weight and have about 10 pounds left to lose to be at my ideal weight.  It is a pain in the ass but I always feel better when I am done working out!

    I started on Monday... Someone asked how far along I was in my pregnancy. Well I'm NOT pregnant... So that was the final straw.

    I've been asked too. I'm sorry but this stomach had to stretch out for two whole babies. Kills me every time they ask.

    I go to the Y 2x a week for an hour at a time.  They charge 4.25 an hour for drop in childcare and they are awesome!  Since DD is an infant I sign a contract each season that she and I will be there at the designated times each week. It has been so helpful in that I have to go!

    The other days we go around the neighborhood in the stroller for 30- 60 min.  

    I'm at PP weight but no less :(   My C-section belly looks around 12 weeks.

    No gym here for me. I always sign up and never go. I have tried to do the 30 day shred a few times. I just can't manage to get myself to do it every day. The only time I have time to work out is after I put LO to bed and by then I'm exhausted from work and taking care of him. I really need to get my butt in gear.

    I just read that some girls did the 30 day shred together on here in June. I wish I woulda joined that group. I need some motivation.

    I was doing awesome, going to the gym or walking 4+ times a week.  I am 15lbs lighter than pre-preg.   But now that I'm back to work, I've completely fallen off the wagon.  I don't have any free time to get to the gym.  I stop for coffee in the morning, because I'm operating on 3-4 hours of sleep.  And of course I get a donut with that coffee.  I'm so disgusted with myself.

    I recently started going to the gym again (thank God for the YMCA's daycare!), and I must say, I feel SO much better about myself already!

    I haven't dropped any pounds or inches yet (damn you, mint chocolate chip ice cream in the freezer...), but I feel so much more energized. I feel more rested in the mornings, even after getting up with DS for his 3 AM feeding, and I'm getting more done around the house.

    Going the first time is definitely the hardest -- but once you do, you'll feel so much better. Good luck!!

    I am!!  I got during my lunch hour b/c there's a facility here in building.  I also take DD for a walk almost every day.  I'm down 50lbs from before I had DD, but I've still got some to go. Embarrassed

    I prefer to work out at home. We live in a condo that has a fitness facility, a really nice one actually but I just hate using it. I get all embarrassed when someone super fit comes in and just busts out the moves I was huffing and puffing on.
