I started slowly at 10 weeks, lost all the weight by 8 months.... then got stressed and put on 3 pounds--time to start working out again! (9 months pp) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-pp-did-you-start-working-out#post-625893 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 21:25:39 +0000 luckypenny 625893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: yes!! I learned so much and he was so motivating. I just stopped working out with him because I switched gyms so I could have child care but it was worth every penny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-pp-did-you-start-working-out#post-625752 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 20:37:26 +0000 travelgirl1 625752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: I had a c-section too, so it bought me a bit more time : ) </p> <p>@Pink Champagne: OMG mama, you are on fire, three weeks???</p> <p>@Andrea: That's a hell of a lot more than I've done, you're doing great!</p> <p>@hilsy85: Six weeks was my goal. Obviously I missed that, ha!</p> <p>@PrincessBaby: I keep toying with paleo but then sugar calls my name - like HOLLAS my name!!! I'm going to buy some coconut sugar this weekend and try bake some paleo cookies to curb that. I did gain about 60lb while preg though so maybe paleo would really help shed the last stone. I'm putting all my faith in the power of Jillian's nagging to get me motivated : ) </p> <p> @luckypenny: Did the personal trainer help? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-pp-did-you-start-working-out#post-625543 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 19:17:02 +0000 luckypenny 625543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 weeks - went twice a week with personal trainer and once a week alone. Did mostly weight lifting and conditioning </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-pp-did-you-start-working-out#post-625471 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 18:34:34 +0000 PrincessBaby 625471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started 30Ds at 5 weeks PP I think? Then started paleo around 6 wks and it was like BOOM! The weight came off! I've been doing paleo for almost 2 months and I'm actually a little smaller than I was prepreg, and only a couple of lbs away from my wedding weight (H is 3 mos)....I know you were thinking of doing paleo- it rocks for weight loss! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-pp-did-you-start-working-out#post-625463 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 18:28:35 +0000 hilsy85 625463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I started walking on the treadmill at 6 wks, after getting the all clear from my OB. I started doing lots of walking around the neighborhood maybe 1-2 wk pp? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-pp-did-you-start-working-out#post-625456 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 18:26:05 +0000 Andrea 625456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started at 8 weeks. It is hard though. Something always comes up and then I can't work out. So far I have only worked out 2x per week in the last two. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-pp-did-you-start-working-out#post-625392 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 17:52:57 +0000 Pink Champagne 625392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three weeks! I couldn't wait to get back moving again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-pp-did-you-start-working-out#post-624958 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:28:33 +0000 2PeasinaPod 624958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 3 months. I had a C-section and I wanted to try working out prior to then, but I just couldn't. I did go for some good walks around the neighborhood early on, but I wasn't counting that as working out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-months-pp-did-you-start-working-out#post-624933 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:21:29 +0000 travelgirl1 624933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went out to get some new exercise clothes today and I'm going to start the 30 Day Shed tomorrow to say ta-ra to my last 14 lb of baby weight at 4 months pp. I packed away my maternity clothes and hope I can get more than an ankle in my pre preg jeans by the summer, ha. It's taken me this long to feel ready to work out because my huge pregnant ass and thighs destroyed my knees.</p> <p>How many months pp did you start working out? </p>
