So many of us on here are trying to get in shape or stay in shape, I thought a poll would be fun!
Whats your reason for getting/staying in shape? (Body after baby, TTC, etc)
Following a diet?
Whats your exercise regime?
Any restrictions? (Post partum, IVF limitations,etc?)
Would you be interested in a SAIF meal plan/exercise daily check-in?
Do you have a goal weight or amount you hope to lose?

Re: Health & Fitness poll!
Following a diet? No b/c of BFing, after my 6 week check up i plan on eating much healthier though! I've used this post partum time to eat what i crave since I had GD in 3rd tri, oops!
Whats your exercise regime? None yet, just walking. Hoping to start running and the 30day shred after my 6 wk check up, I love Jillian Michaels!
Any restrictions? Post partum, IVF limitations,etc? Just waiting to be cleared by my OB!
Would you be interested in a SAIF meal plan/exercise daily checkin? Yes!
Do you have a goal weight or amount you hope to lose? The last 10 lbs of baby weight!
Whats your reason for getting/staying in shape? (Body after baby, TTC, etc)
I hate my post-baby body. But I'm one of those people who have always hated their body. My PCOS makes it really hard for me to maintain a normal weight, so I am constantly dieting and working out just to maintain.
Following a diet?
Yes. I'm doing a sort of modified paleo. I still eat oatmeal to keep up my milk supply, and I use paleo as a basis for how I eat. I try to keep dairy free, sugar free, and gluten free at the bare minimum.
Whats your exercise regime?
I climb 6 flights of stairs 4 times a day, 5 days a week. Mondays I do Pilates. I want to start a spinning class on the weekends but I'm nervous.
Any restrictions? (Post partum, IVF limitations,etc?)
I have to be really cautious of how many calories I burn. I am still BFing and my supply is very fragile. If I don't consume enough calories, my supply drops quickly and is slow to recover.
I also hurt my back when I was 8 weeks pregnant, and it hasn't been the same since. Every time I try to run it shoots pain down my leg and I just can't do it. I know, I know, I need to go to the doctor.
Would you be interested in a SAIF meal plan/exercise daily check-in?
That would be fun! Daily might be a bit slow, but maybe we could start with a weekly one.
Do you have a goal weight or amount you hope to lose?
I am about 5 lbs above my pre-pregnancy weight, so definitely those 5 lbs. But I also gained 10 lbs during IF treatments, so ideally I'd like to lose that too. However, I'm really more interested in being able to get back into my old pants, rather than a specific number on the scale.

I am trying to maintain my post baby weight loss

No, but I need to be
Whats your exercise regime?
I just started running again this past week as I am currently training for a 8k next month, and a half marathon in November
Any restrictions? (Post partum, IVF limitations,etc?)
Nope
Would you be interested in a SAIF meal plan/exercise daily check-in?
I think that's a great idea
Do you have a goal weight or amount you hope to lose?
I would really like to lose about 10lbs. Honestly though, if I could just tone up, and get rid of my flab, I'd be happy. I would really just like my clothes to fit.

Want to fit back in my pre-pg thin clothes.
Following a diet? No, but I eat pretty healthy all the time anyway. But I need to cut back on desserts after dinner!
Whats your exercise regime? Just taking M out for walks.
Any restrictions? (Post partum, IVF limitations,etc?) No
Would you be interested in a SAIF meal plan/exercise daily check-in? Perhaps weekly instead of daily?
Do you have a goal weight or amount you hope to lose? I'm back at my pre-pg weight, BUT I'm still 5 lbs above my normal weight due to fertility drugs. Actually, I've been at my pre-pg weight since 3m pp, but I haven't been able to lose any more since.

Whats your reason for getting/staying in shape? (Body after baby, TTC, etc)
I want to fit back into my old clothes and just feel good about post baby body. I know it probably won't ever be the same but as long as I feel good I'll be ok.
Following a diet?
Not really, but we try to eat healthy as a general rule.
Whats your exercise regime?
Right now it's just walks around the block during the week and we try to go to a trail at the park on the weekends.
Any restrictions? (Post partum, IVF limitations,etc?)
Nope
Would you be interested in a SAIF meal plan/exercise daily check-in?
Sure!
Do you have a goal weight or amount you hope to lose?
I am about 10 pounds from pre-pregnancy weight but I also gained 10 pounds during treatments. I'm more hoping to lose a couple of inches and tighten my stomach back up, this muffin top has got to go!

Whats your reason for getting/staying in shape? (Body after baby, TTC, etc)
Well, I'm currently not trying to get in shape because thankfully I got back to my prepreg everything before I got pregs again and I have no intention of working out while I'm pregnant
Following a diet?
No.
Whats your exercise regime?
Chasing after my toddler and almost toddler, going for walks, etc.
Any restrictions? (Post partum, IVF limitations,etc?)
I don't want to overdue it because I've had two high risk pregnancies (the first one with cervix issues that put me flat on my back starting at 22 weeks) and I'm nervous about that happening again.
Would you be interested in a SAIF meal plan/exercise daily check-in?
I'd probably check it out, but wouldn't post much
My husband does the cooking (because he is amazing and enjoys it) so if it's not mac n' cheese or pb&j I usually don't make it.
Do you have a goal weight or amount you hope to lose?
If things go well and I stay pregnant I want to get my body back before next swim suit season. I don't want to be the fat mom at the pool ... ever
So if you guys keep it going I'd join in later!
