Well ladies I finally did it.

JessieCupcake · July 2012

I stepped on a scale for the first time this morning since giving birth 5 weeks ago. It wasn't pretty. I'd been losing weight before I got pregnant and I really need to get back on track. I was using the My Fitness Pal app on the iphone and had lost 35 lbs using it. Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things.

What is everyone else doing to reach their weight loss goals?

I did that last night for the first time too! It did not go as well as I'd hoped. Everyone keeps telling me that I look great, but I still have 12 pounds to go. I'm hoping some of that weight is in my new boobs.

As far as losing weight, nothing drastic...lots of long walks with LO, eating right, etc etc. I don't really have time to join a gym and dedicate myself to losing weight- if I have a spare half hour I'd rather sit down with a book, to be honest. I'm hoping a good diet and daily walks will be all I need for now, and maybe once LO is sleeping longer at night I'll feel more up to working out.

I'm down a little less than half my weight gain. Once I'm cleared for more than walking I'm hoping to find 30 minuets a day when I'm not dead tired to try out the Zumba dvd's my friend is letting me borrow.

Not putting batteries back into my scale... and pilates with a friend

I need to stop weighing myself, it's just making me depressed and frustrated. I've lost 15 lbs and have 17 to go to get to pre-pg weight, but the scale hasn't budged in 2 weeks. I lost the weight a lot faster with very little effort after my first pregnancy, so it sucks to be struggling this time.

I have been going for walks w/ the baby, but it's been so hot here I have to do them first thing in the morning or I can't go (it has been over 100 degrees almost every afternoon). I need to start doing some dvd workouts, like, yesterday. I really wanted to lose all the weight by the time I go back to work in a month, but I don't see that happening at this point

Im 2 lbs from prepregnancy weight. I'm breastfeeding, which supposedly helps the weight fall off. I've been walking and have a couple times now done light jogging. I've also been refraining from eating like my usual piggy self. I want to lose an additional 5 lbs on top of the 2. My incentive is a shopping trip. It's been forever since I've done that. Even with maternity clothes, I only bought the bare minimum.

I have 30 lbs to loose and once I get cleared for working out I plan to go to the gym daily walks with LO. I don't have a smart phone or I'd use an app. I need to stop buying sweets and not let my MIL bring any over. I think she's determined to keep me fat b/c she keeps bringing sweets over.

I got on the scale at 2 weeks postpartum. I was only 6.5 lbs from my prepregnancy weight. I've been trying to sneak in a little bit of cardio and soem strength training while LO naps, but for some reason it's like she can sense it and always wakes up.

My biggest problem isn't the weight, but the muscle tone. I've only lost 2.5 lbs since in the last two weeks, but after doing some core excercising I actually fit into real pants. They were two sizes larger than my "normal" pants and I had a muffin top, but I could button them so I was happy. If I could just get the squishy middle bits to tighten up, I think I'd actually be in pretty good shape. Oh well. More crunches.

Insanity. God help me.

I'm 10lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm no where near getting into my pre-pregnancy pants. There's still way too much extra skin in the middle.

I've been taking long walks with the kids in the stroller. Getting up hills with a double stroller is definitely a work out.

Now, I need to cut it out with the sweets. I'm still losing weight, so I feel like I have an excuse to be bad, but I know that won't last.

unaveragejane · July 2012

I am about 10 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight, mostly b/c I have such a crummy appetite. It also seems as though my LO demands to be held any time I think I might be hungry, so I wind up skipping a lot of meals. It's not good at all. My mom wound up coming back to stay with me this week b/c we were having such a hard go of it.

I need to lose about 50 lbs. Not baby weight but just weight I had from before I got pregnant. My first step has been cutting out all pop which I just started a couple days ago. I've done this a few times before so I hope I can stick with it this time.

I really need to start decreasing my serving sizes. I know that I eat too much in a sitting.My problem is also that I eat out of boredom. Like right now I really want to go get another plate of food but I know it's just because I'm bored and not necessarily hungry.

Next step will be starting exercise. My problem is finding time with 2 kiddos!

I have 8 more lbs to go plus the 5 I wanted to loose before getting PG to be my goal weight of 135.
