After I met my SO, I just packed it on.</p> <p>I've lost 23lbs since November. All I've done was to cut back portions and eat healthier. I also use My Fitness Pal and exercise. I still eat bread, because I love it, but I eat the right portion and real whole grains.</p> <p>Also, only water, nothing that has calories! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-lose-weight#post-677988 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:21:33 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 677988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MungBean: The best advice I can give you is to not eat anything you wouldn't feed your child. Meaning... most likely, you're giving your LO very healthy, clean meals to ensure that s/he's getting all the nutrition s/he needs. If you follow those same guidelines, it should melt it off. Also, as frequently as your child does (ie: 3 small meals and 2 small snacks). That keeps your metabolism up and makes you less likely to overeat at each meal. </p> <p>Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-lose-weight#post-677980 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:09:45 +0000 bunnylove08 677980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend posted about this Bikini Body Mommy Challenge.

I need to start up again during pregnancy to help keep me in a safe weight range. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-lose-weight#post-677889 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 14:12:38 +0000 MamaMoose 677889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MungBean: well I can't eat wheat so no breads or crackers or anything like that.. So often I'll have rice crackers with rolled up cold cuts for lunch. It's nice to be able to have some carbs every now and then!!! And I'll have rice cakes for snacks, and then we do rice as a side with dinner about once a week and I also like making risotto. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-lose-weight#post-677874 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 14:07:25 +0000 pinkcupcake 677874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: that's great you lost all your baby weight!! 17 months isn't bad at all! </p> <p>@MamaMoose: whoa! You rock :) what kind of rice products do you eat? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-lose-weight#post-677871 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 14:05:38 +0000 pinkcupcake 677871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: @mrskc: I've had success with WW in the past too. Considering joining again but I think I might something free like @Bookworm: suggested. I bet once I see what and how much I'm actually eating I'll see why I can't lose this weight!</p> <p>@googly-eyes: good luck! Ugh holiday weight. I'm def carrying like five lbs from then!</p> <p>@chopsuey119: cutting carbs is great idea! So hard for me bc I'm Korean and can't eat a meal without rice :P but I think I'll try to cut it out as much as possible. I'm also still nursing and always sooo hungry!</p> <p>@zippylef: that's awesome! An inch! You're inspiring me! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-lose-weight#post-677864 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 14:00:53 +0000 MamaMoose 677864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've basically gone paleo because of my daughters food intolerances and the weight is falling off of me. I'm 4 months post partum and I'm 12 lbs below pre pregnancy weight and 8 pounds from my ideal. And I don't even work out (but do exclusively breastfeed). Basically all I eat is fruits, veggies, meat and rice products. It can get boring for sure... But it's effective! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-lose-weight#post-677863 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 14:00:47 +0000 heffalump 677863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It takes time! It's hard to lose weight with so much going on. I didn't lose all my baby weight until LO was 17 months. I can't exercise because of health issues so I'm sure if I could it would have gone quicker.... but I figured it happened eventually and that's what matters :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-lose-weight#post-677857 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 13:58:51 +0000 Bookish 677857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before getting pregnant I got on myfitnesspal and started tracking my calories, then dropped them down to about 75-80% of what I ate normally and added in walking/weight lifting. Lost 30 lbs that way, but that is also PRE-baby weight; I know post-baby weight can be very stubborn! I just know the way I did it was cheap (essentially free) and basically stress-free. Good luck! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-lose-weight#post-677850 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 13:55:10 +0000 mrskc 677850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I joined weight watchers and lost 16 pounds! I would focus on dieting &amp; watching portion size. WW helped me realize my portions were too large and little things like condiments and coffee creamer add up. You can do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-lose-weight#post-677848 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 13:54:58 +0000 chopsuey 677848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cut carbs and you'll see a difference immediately.<br /> Eat protein, fruits and veggies and drink lots of water! </p> <p>I have 15 til prepreg and 20 til wedding weight. -.- sucks cuse I'm nursing 2 and always starving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-lose-weight#post-677844 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 13:52:11 +0000 loveisstrange 677844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm right there with you. I'm 15lbs from my pre=preg weight and a good 55lbs from my ideal weight. I started working out 2 weeks ago! I've lost an inch in my waist already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-lose-weight#post-677837 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 13:50:24 +0000 googly-eyes 677837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't done it either. Well technically I got below my prepreg weight but then came the holidays and stress and I gained. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-lose-weight#post-677836 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 13:49:23 +0000 DillonLion 677836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always had success with Weight Watchers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-lose-weight#post-677741 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 12:56:28 +0000 pinkcupcake 677741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I finally stepped on the scale today after being too afraid to for so long. I'm glad I did - seeing those awful numbers flash before my eyes really hit home. It's been 13 months since I've had lo and I'm still about 13 lbs from pre-preg and 23 lbs from my ideal weight. Ugh ugh ugh. I feel frumpy, fat and icky, not to mention just flabby and totally out of shape :( I used to be a size 4 :( </p> <p>I know I need to practice healthier eating habits, exercise portion control, and exercise but I'm just so tired and exhausted from keeping up with my toddler and worrying about her eating that I get swept to the wayside :( I need motivation and inspiration please. Bees that finally got rid of that stubborn weight- how'd you do it?? I need encouragement and tips :( </p>
