Okay, I gained 20lbs in pregnancy and so far I lost 25lbs, so I'm down all the pregnancy weight plus an additional 5lbs. I'm def not eating three meals a day, it's impossible with how needy Cameron is :) I also started walking and figure that pushing the stroller will help me burn more calories, at least I hope it is. lol I'd like to lose 40 more lbs by the end of the summer.
Losing the baby weight...
June 06, 2008
I thought I'd start a post for all of us who've just had babies to track our weight loss post-baby and encourage each other.. and maybe even come up with some tips for shedding the pounds!! :)
Right now.. I'm not doing much of anything intentional.. I'm finding it hard to eat 3 meals a day.. :) As of Monday, I had lost 20 lbs. (I gained 15 while prego) According to my scale, I've lost another 5 more.. but I don't trust my scale at all!!)

I think this post got lost for a while. According to MY scale (again.. no idea how accurate it REALLY is) I'm down to 163 lbs.. so, that would be down 32 I think.. if I can count...from when I gave birth a month ago... (195-163=32, right? lol) That would only put me down 12 more since my 1 week appointment.. I guess thats not too bad really.. I was hoping to lose more!
As I lose weight, I think my pooch of skin becomes more noticeable... and my body feels all out of proportion.. and I'm sure my boobs weigh ten pounds a piece haha.. I was a 44 E when I gave birth.. my around size has gone down, I almost don't need the back extender, which I think puts me back down to a 40 around.. but the E is too small.. I really need to go get some new bras b/c when I fill up with milk, my bra won't hold em in!!
I go for my six week appointment on July 10th at 10 am.. its a little longer than 6 weeks actually...
I haven't been doing anything to try to lose weight.. I guess I should? I've even been slacking on walking here lately because its been about 95 degrees (or more) for a couple weeks!
How are the rest of you doing?

okay I'm not happy at all with my body and if it wasn't for having such a gorgeous baby boy, I'd really be depressed about it. lol :)))
I lost all my pregnancy weight and originally an extra 5lbs, then gained that back after I stopped breastfeeding. Well this past week I lost 4 1/2 pds since starting to watch what I eat and walking either 3 miles outside or 30 min on my treadmill. I also did my workout dvd's twice this past week. My goal is to lose a total of 40lbs. I also have that nasty pooch that seems to sag lower with each passing day. I need to lose my belly, a butt or two and def in my thighs. Oh and please lets not talk about the bbs...can you say hitting my knees??? lmao!

Hey ladies...so here are my stats.....starting weight 125lbs.....delivery weight 155lbs. NOw 10 days out I'm at 142lbs. So that puts me down 13lbs. I couldn't stand wearing the maternity capris anymore so I went and bought new capris in a size 8!!! I don't care I needed to feel a little normal. I can't wait to start doing some walking and exercising. When did your docs tell you that you could. Mine said nothing for at least 2 weeks, but then I'm not sure when I can do more. This pooch is insane! :) hugs to all of you....we can do this together
LOL.. pooch buddies.. that sounds so cute...
Fran, my dr said no exercise until 6 week appt. the only thing I'm allowed to do is lay on my back and lift up my shoulders (Like, 1/4 of a sit up haha) and walk up to 5 blocks a day. (I was walking more than that though! I'm just not walking anymore cuz its been too hot and I've been too busy lol)

Walking is okay Fran, no work outs though until at least your 6wk and even then for me my doc made me wait 2 more wks. I was borderline post pardum depression and also still healing from my tubes being tied. but now I'm fine and working out.
Oh and Meghan, you are wayyy braver than me. I'm not willing to post a pooch pic of myself just yet. Maybe once I lose the weight I'll post a before and after but until I'm happy with myself...no go on posting a pic. You look good though...and same here, not many pics of me holding Cameron either.

LOL Girls You just had babies! It takes time.. not to worry you will loose it.. I still looked preggo 6-8 weeks out of delivery.. But I joined Weight Watchers online and it worked! Also exercise if you can.. light walking to start.. The only thing I noticed after loosing the weight was my shape changed :( I am still not happy about my hips :(
