I was a little overweight right before pregnancy. I was trying to get in shape when I found out I was pregnant. I'm just about back to my pre-preggo weight 2 months PP just EBF and eating right, but I was really hoping I could actually still lose the weight I wanted to lose before. I guess it just feels kind of hopeless and I'm wondering if anyone has done it before or if it's so rare I shouldn't hold my breath, you know?

Re: Anyone ever get fitter AFTER baby?
It's totally do-able. I did it after my first. Incorporate weight lifting and eating clean is the best way to do it, in my opinion.
Now, I've just had my second, third, and my fourth (this October) in the space of 2 1/2 years, so I have to start all over again. But I did it before and know that I can do it again.
But there was something about being the mom of a little girl that made me want to get healthy and be an example for her.
Before this pregnancy, I was in excellent shape, ran my fastest marathon the month before, liked how I looked and felt good in my clothes. A night and day difference.
I'm 25 weeks now and have to keep reminding myself that I WILL get back to where I was!
It's totally doable!
Think about why you want to lose weight and focus on that. For me it was my boys and my family- I want them to remember me taking part in their daily activities and having fun.
You can do it !
I still have days where I want to binge eat and thw last thing I want to do is workout. But I try to remind myself how good I'll feel after I workout and it'll get easier and easier.
Good luck!
Before getting pregnant, I was already 20lbs above my comfort zone.... Packed on 85lbs with my little lady! She will be 2 in July and I'm 98lbs down!!! I have been since her first birthday. I feel Fabulous!!!!!!!!! You ladies are all rockstars!!!!
