How much weight do you want to lose?

I have about 100+ to lose but I'm going one pound at a time...

How much have you lost so far (start where you wanna!)?

I've been playing this game for a very long time... I'm 10 pounds from my heaviest weight (not including pregnancy) but since January 1st I've lost 5 lbs.

What's your motivation?

I want to be able to play with my son in a more active way!

What's your eating plan like?

So far for this, I've lost my 5 lbs from just packing my lunch and planning healthy dinners. I know this won't last long and that I'll have to restart counting calories and such soon but for right now, I'll focus on this portion.

What's your exercise plan like?

I'm doing a combo of 30 Day Shred and Yoga every day.

What's your biggest hurdle?

TIME! I've figured out that I need to get up and do it in the morning but it's the whole getting out of bed thing...

c-elizabethf · January 2014

How much weight do you want to lose? About 40-50 pounds.
How much have you lost so far (start where you wanna!)? I gained 18 pounds with dd and i lost it all right after having her so im back to pre pregnancy weight. But i Started January 4th and have lost 8 lbs
What's your motivation? My SIL motivated me, she lost 100 pounds and kept telling me not to lose weight for anybody else but myself and finally I decided "I" wanted to be confident,"I" wanted to be able to wear clothes that I was never able to wear. I always said I was going to lose weight but honestly I wasn't giving it my all or anything. But now I'm doing it for me and I will get to my goal weight this time.
What's your eating plan like? I eat healthier. I always eat breakfast (which I didn't before). They say to eat small things in between meals and I have been doing that. If I eat or know im going to eat something high in sodium or calories I do portion control and always excercise to even it out. I cook more as well and I have learned a lot of easy healthy recipes. And all I drink now is water. I do drink a protein shake though lol
What's your exercise plan like?
I workout 6 times a week. I've been doing insanity, Jillian michaels, I go to our gym now and I'm focusing on my arms now too. I keep changing routine up so my body doesn't get used to it. Insanity is really good though so is Jillian michaels
What's your biggest struggle?
Sweets. I have such a hard time with that.

ETA: Also using My fitness pal has helped a lot and my husband

emmy236 · January 2014

How much weight do you want to lose? 40 lbs would get me to where I was at my fittest in college.

How much have your lost so far? Nothing, zilch, nada, goose egg

What's your motivation? I want to wear shorts this summer and a bathing suit and not be embarrassed. Plus we have a bunch of weddings coming up.

What's your eating plan like? Right now it's not great. Starting Monday I'm doing a cleansing style diet for 15 days then probably going to do WW.

Exercise plan? Mixture if Jillian Michaels DVDs and in going to start the 30 day plank, squat, push-up challenge. After that I'll see where my fitness level is.

Biggest struggles: BFing. The second I try to cut calories my supply tanks. I think I'm at a place where I need to do something for me to be happy, not base everything around the pump. He's taking less BM at this point and I'm ok if he needs to have a formula bottle here and there. Plus I think he'll be happier having a mom who will jump in the pool with him more than he'll miss a few bottles of BM.

blush64 · January 2014

How much weight do you want to lose? I not surr. Certainly more than 20lbs but I am more concerned with how I feel and how clothes fit. I'll see what I think as I lose. I had been on a new medicatiqon that helped me gain a bunch of weight in the several months before I got pregnant and then, of course, came the baby weight.

How much have you lost so far (start where you wanna!) As of two weeks ago I have lost 7.5lbs. I am eating more to slow the weightloss even though it wasn't drastic. (Recommended by the Weight Watchers rep who said I should aim for slower weightloss while breastfeeding.)

What's your motivation? Feeling better.

What's your eating plan like? I am on Weight Watchers so I eat anything I want. I had pizza yesterday.

I eat several meals and plenty of snacks. I make sure to have a lot of veggies and fruits cut up and ready to eat.

What's your exercise plan like? My exercise plan has not begun. I am walking more and I will be starting to actually exercise after I have been to the doctor. I need new inhalers etc.

What's your biggest struggle? Chocolate, candy, chips, baking, pizza...basically controlling how much of everything I eat. I love food and I am happy I don't have to give anything up but I have a hard time not having as much chocolate as I want when I want it.

Edit

It seems so difficult but in reality I am eating more food now than before, but much healthier food for the most part.

Bonus: Show your "before" picture and (if you so choose) your after pic. I have no before pic yet. I think I will take one tonight.

nortiz03 · February 2014

How much weight do you want to lose?

8-10 lbs

8 lbs to be at my pre-pregnancy weight but I would like to try for 10!

How much have you lost so far (start where you wanna!)?

Well, since I have actually started tryng (after New Years) 4 lbs and thats just adding excercise and trying to eat healthy

What's your motivation?

I would have to say that LOs birthday is coming up! I would like to be at my pre-pregnancy weight before her birthday. Also, barely fit into any pre-pregnancy clothes. I can zip up to two pairs of pre-preg pants but still don't feel good in them. I have to sqeeze into them and I'm still wearing baggy/loose shirts too.

I have been thinking about signing up for a 5k at the end of March and running with the baby in the jogger. If I do sign up Im not gonna stress on time just think I would be proud to run with LO:)

DH, he has been working out since I was pregnant and has lost 20 lbs. He has toned up and gained muscle. He makes me want to work out, look good and feel good.

What's your eating plan like?

I try to drink alot of water (60-80oz depends on the day). I eat bfast, lunch, dinner with snacks in between. Try to eat more fruit and veggies and healthy snacks instead of junk food. Overall, just trying to eat healthy!

What's your exercise plan like?

I am trying to get into running again and am in week 8 (9week program) of C25K, which got me into running two years ago. I just added lunges, squats and arm weights to my workout days and started a 30 day plank challenge I found on Pinterest.

What's your biggest struggle?

WEEKENDS! I can eat good during the week at work and then the weekend gets here and I screw up all the good work I've done during the week. Also, working out is a struggle. On the days I take LO to the sitter I have to get her up atleast by 6AM so if I work out in the morning I have to get up atleast by 345AM to get my workout going and shower and get ready for work. I would workout after work but I just can't by the time I get off and put LO down that is the last thing I want to do. I would rather get it done first thing in the morning. The hardest thing is getting out of bed for me! I'm trying to work out every other day, if it doesn't work than I will end up working out on the weekends.

goofy45833 · February 2014

How much weight do you want to lose?
30lbs

How much have you lost so far (start where you wanna!)?
6 in the past 3 weeks

What's your motivation?
I have at least 3 weddings to attend this year and would like to look good for them.

What's your eating plan like?
eating more healthy, cut back on sweets and breads, add more fruits and veggies

What's your exercise plan like?
as of now I would like to start out with 30day shred and then when the weather gets nice again to re-start C25k I ran 2 5k pre-pregnancy and would like to get back into shape to do those again.

What's your biggest struggle?
finding time, I should be able to schedule out 20mins a day with no problems I just need to find when to do it

smg2302 · February 2014

How much weight do you want to lose? 45 lbs

How much have you lost so far (start where you wanna!)? Since the first of the year, I lost 10, but then I got my period and gained 4 back. It's going to be much rougher this time around.

What's your motivation? TTC in a year or two, being fit for DD to set a good example.

What's your eating plan like? WW

What's your exercise plan like? Virtually non existent. I'm trying with C25k, but I'm too cheap to purchase a gym membership or treadmill, and the weather is unreliable. I fell awful guilt about leaving DD to go exercise, but my local library offers baby and me yoga Saturday mornings, so I think I'm going to try that.

What's your biggest struggle? Lack of exercise. Wanting to snuggle with DD all the time. Desserts.

wku2011 · February 2014

A little late to the game, but I am glad this was started back up

--How much weight do you want to lose?
I gained quite a bit of weight being on domperidone for 4+ months, so I would like to lose all of that & some. 45 lbs total. Ideally.
--How much have you lost so far (start where you wanna!)?
8 lbs, since Jan 20th, but I think that's just due to the medicine being out of my system.
--What's your motivation?
I have no clothes, & hate how my body looks, but I'm more concerned with my health. 32 lbs in 4 months equaled to about 2 lbs a week. I don't want any long term health problems. Plus I'm tired of feeling like complete jello.
--What's your eating plan like?
not eating out as often (struggled this past weekend). keeping a close watch on my calories with my fitness pal app. It takes 21 days for habits to stick, so me & the hubby both are trying to plan out meals instead of grabbing 'junk.'
--What's your exercise plan like?
Nothing right now, since I'm focusing on good food choices for 21 days, but eventually I will hit the gym close to me on lunch hour, & when it gets to be better weather, I plan on taking j to the babysitter's via stroller. A round trip is just over a mile.
--What's your biggest struggle?
I have yet to try some veggies.
