Does anyone know if someone posts weekly about our progress on getting the baby weight off? just thought maybe we could do this once a week. I gained 70 with DD, lost 40 by 6 week pp check, still got 30 to loose. I started working out 5 days a week 3 weeks ago. 5 days cardio and 2 of those day weight training. I also am watching what i eat way more then before. Last week i lost 2 pounds and was super excited. I have a goal of October of being as close to what my body use to look like before. I was fine with my weight before bfp. This is a new lifestyle for me, never had to watch what i eat or work out so much in my life. How bout you girls that still don't got that baby weight off yet. What are your goals?
Re: who here is working out regularly?
I think someone has been posting a check in weekly.. but that could be on another board.
Good job on the 2lbs last week! I have a 2lb a week goal. I'm easing into it slowly so I don't become overwhelmed and give up. I'm trying to be active for at least 30 min a day, plus all the house work I'm doing. I've started using livestrong.com to track my calories and how much i'm excersising. Its a really cool site (I didn't pay for the Gold membership and find the basic more than enough). Since I'm BF I enter into the fitness tracker that I burn 500 calories breastfeeding and it gives me 500 calories to eat that day.
Last week I gave up all junk food (except for Sundays, I get to eat what ever I want on Sundays), and started walking everyday. This week I started eating more balanced and doing wii fit for 30min a day. I'm working up to doing P90x, but I need to get into better shape before I can even attempt that.
I'm also working out 5-6 days a week with heavy cardio and weight training (mainly body pump classes 2-3 week) My goal is 2.5lbs a week. I have roughly 25lbs to lose to get back to my ppg weigh. I'd love a check in partner to keep me motivated. I'm with you, I've never had to watch what i ate before. I can't wait to get back in my size 4 pants. Right now they won't even go up my big monster thighs and a bathing suit is disgusting. Needless to say, i'll be at the gym as much as possible.
I started the 30 day shred on Tuesday and have done it each day since. My ultimate goal is to lose 30lbs by November. I'd like to lose 15lbs in the next two months, though. That would get me back to my pre-pregnancy weight. The extra 15lbs I want to lose would get me closer to a healthier weight for my height and an acceptable BMI.
I am bemoaning every last non-calorie watch during pregnancy, I still have 20 to loose. I am using my fitness pal to log what I eat and exercise; I am BFing so my doctor says I need 1800 calories a day. I am walking and want to start toning so I can start running but can't seem to find the time. I am remembering I lost a lot once my first one was sleeping better (and I was too). Good luck and focus on long range sustainable activities.
I was pretty overweight when I got pregnant and actually was down 24 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight at my 6-week check-up, but I still have a good amount of weight I'd like to lose. I'd love to have enough energy/stamina to chase the LO around once he starts walking!
How do you ladies fit your workouts into your schedules with LO? The best I've been able to do so far is going on walks with him, and I also started back to work full time this week.
I started running and doing cardio last week. Then last weekend I came down with mastitis and it totally ruined my routine and I need to get back into it. I lost 2 pounds last week and I am less than five pounds above my pre pregnancy weight. I am hoping to lose 35-40 pounds beyond that so I can be at a healthier weight for my frame but I know I'm going to have to find consistency and break some bad eating habits to get there! I start back at work monday and I am really hoping I will still have enough free time to work out!
Good workout vibes to everyone!
I'm working out around 2 days of week...with maybe walking when the weather is nice. My gym is awesome...they post the workout of the day, personalized coaching and positive. I wish I could go more but dh works late and we have to schedule me going based on his schedule. My mom volunteered to help one day a week to babysit so I can go.
I'd like to lose 5 lbs to be back at my prepreg weight. That was a great weight for me and I had definition and tone. I'm having a hard time with this weight coming off so far. lose 1 lb to have it come back a couple days later. I need to get better about diet. I'm pretty good for the most part.
