How much did you gain with your pregnancy?

21 lbs

How many weeks is your LO?

9 weeks

How much have you lost so far?

21 lbs - but I gained 5 the month before I got pregnant and I injured myself in the last two months, so I'm eager to get those muscles in shape.

What is your weight loss goal?

Maybe lose the first 5 pounds. I'm really more concerned with regaining tone and developing muscles.

What are you currently doing regarding nutrition?

I'm failing at this in all sorts of ways this week. I'll make a more concerted effort starting tomorrow to get my 5 fruit and veg, and lots of protein and water.

What exercise did you do this week?

none. I'm pretty broken post-birth as well. I'm not sure when I'll be able to do more than walk and bounce LO. I ran most of my pregnancy, so I'm hoping to slowly work back up to that over the Spring.

Tips/advice for those of us who are trying to lose?

Make sure you get your 5 cups of fruit and veg a day!

How much did you gain with your pregnancy?

37 lbs

How many weeks is your LO?

11 weeks

How much have you lost so far?

25 lbs

What is your weight loss goal?

I was 110 pre-pregnancy. I'd like to get down to at least 115.

What are you currently doing regarding nutrition?

I'm trying to eat more fruits and veggies. I've been keeping track of my nutrition with an app and seeing what areas I need more nutrition in - like calcium.

What exercise did you do this week?

I have been running 2 miles every other day. On off days I try to do a workout video. I have a nice one made especially for post-pregnancy which is kind of nice. Or I do the YourShape workout with the Kinect for Xbox.

Tips/advice for those of us who are trying to lose?

I actually signed up for several road races. This has kept me on track to get in shape because I want to finish the races to the best of my ability. I think signing up for an event will help my stick to my plan because it's too late to back out of it!
