Just started strolling with baby. Can't wait to get released to do more! Here's what I look like right now! </p> [attach=2510/13/mhzjy1.591x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/4#post-558404 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 22:22:59 +0000 Minnie_Girl 558404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I haven't gotten back into exercise yet like I wanted to (dd went through a growth spurt so I didn't push my body, and now I'm waiting for my biopsy site to heal up), but! Thanks to the magic of breastfeeding I've dropped about three more pounds over the last two weeks! My hips and thighs are making my old jeans super tight but I can fit back into most of them now. Yessss.</p> <p>Keep up the hard work, ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/4#post-558402 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 22:21:48 +0000 hilsy85 558402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingbrit: I did that too (brought Lo to our apt building gym in the stroller). It worked great until his naps went to crap! I also did it even if there were other ppl there... He was sleeping and if he woke up I would just end my workout early and leave! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/4#post-558393 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 22:11:54 +0000 wheres_c 558393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am happy to say that I am 10 lbs lighter than my pre pregnancy weight today. Wahoo! Some of my pre pregnancy jeans are too small now.</p> <p>I havent been doing anything special, except being too busy with LO to eat sometimes. No dieting and no working out.<br /> Now that I'm cleared to work out, I hope to use the apartment gym during the daytime if its empty, and leave LO sleeping in the stroller next to me. Of course I won't do this if anyone is there working out.</p> <p>Weight Pre-Pregnancy: 198lbs<br /> Weight at Full Term:218 lbs<br /> Weight at 2 months post partum:188 lbs<br /> Goal Weight: 145lbs<br /> lbs to Goal: 43lbs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/4#post-558058 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 14:19:05 +0000 hilsy85 558058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: you look great mama! I have a molded cup nursing bra with no underwire from bravado and I find the molded cup really annoying to pull down as well. I agree though, it's a good one to wear on a date night! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/4#post-558057 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 14:17:08 +0000 mrskc 558057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: what about underwire nursing bras? They have a molded cup and a clip like a nursing tank. I got some from Motherhood maternity. I don't really like wearing them too much if I have to nurse LO because they are a bit annoying and the molded cups get in the way. But they are nice to wear to work, and date nights. And Nice to have in case I feel like going out with LO and wearing an actual bra. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/4#post-558055 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 14:11:44 +0000 mrskc 558055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey ladies! I'm down to 156! 6 lbs to my goal. I put on my fav prepregnancy black skinny jeans today and I can actually zip and button them up! I have a muffin top that I need to lose but a month ago I could barely get one leg into them. Here's a pic. I just have to wear a loose fitting top so you can't see my muffin top. </p> <p>How's everyone doing? I love reading MODG's blog! </p> [attach=684/13/mhyvzl.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/4#post-550245 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 11:11:38 +0000 PrincessBaby 550245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: haha! She is NUTS! Her baby is really close in age to ours so I relate to her posts that much more now!</p> <p>Oh BTW- I started Level 3 a few days ago on 30DS. Sucks!!!! Traveling Pushups= Shoot me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/4#post-550237 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 11:09:30 +0000 PrincessBaby 550237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I am seriously tempted to buy the AGs that MODG raved about on her blog! My maternity jeans were AG bc they were soooo stretchy and comfy and I really loved them:). So I may spring for some AGs too!</p> <p>Tomorrow I am going to weigh myself. I keep forgetting in the mornings and not remembering until I've eaten and drank 20 gallons of water, so then I'm too scared to get on the scale. Plus my ILs are visiting us and I've been drinking a lot more wine, which is never good for weight loss, so I need to weigh to make sure I stay on track! My ILs are big drinkers so I get easily roped into 2-3 glasses of wine a night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/4#post-550225 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 11:05:52 +0000 hilsy85 550225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/4#post-550224 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 11:05:33 +0000 Freckles 550224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/denim-recommendations-post-labour" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/denim-recommendations-post-labour</a></p> <p>@winniebee: Yay for you!! </p> <p>I bruised my tailbone a couple of days ago (i'm in sooo much pain), so i've only been able to do yoga/pilates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/4#post-550222 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 11:04:45 +0000 hilsy85 550222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: omg i love her.

That's why I am looking at AGs . . . there are more options with a lower rise than my regular favorite brand (Paige). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/4#post-550208 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:59:35 +0000 winniebee 550208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: Why wouldn't you be allowed to say that?? Thanks! I might just order a few pairs online and see what works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/4#post-550203 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:57:00 +0000 PrincessBaby 550203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I bought some Serena legging jeans (TR) and they are a mid rise...I dont like them as much as the low rise so I sent them back, but they got great reviews because of that higher rise. They were really cute elsewhere, I got them on Piperlime... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/4#post-550193 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:53:35 +0000 littlek 550193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this.. but I think piperlime has the best selection of petite jeans.. I think I saw 3 pairs of citizens.. fyi</p> <p>@PrincessBaby: I love true religion but my only issue with them is the rise.. sometimes I feel its too low.. I have a lot of bootie for a petite girl.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/4#post-550183 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:50:14 +0000 Lindsay05 550183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, I need to jump in on this. I'm sick of my disgusting muffin top. I have about 10lbs I need gone. You ladies are giving me motivation just from reading and seeing your progress. Well done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/3#post-550145 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:34:22 +0000 winniebee 550145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: That's great news about your husband - congrats!</p> <p>@littlek: I need a new pair of jeans. I haven't found the time to go shopping without LO lately though. I'm pettite too maybe will try AG....but I do love Citizens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/3#post-550115 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:26:27 +0000 PrincessBaby 550115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Woohoo! I'm so glad you like them!</p> <p>@hilsy85: Yes I pull down the cups, or sometimes just push it up so boob comes out the bottom. </p> <p>I am a cup size bigger than prepreg, so I bought new pushup real bras in my current size. I normally wear Very Sexy bras from VS but didnt want to spend $50 on bras when I don't know how long they'll be this size. I found a nice alternative, the VS Pink pushup bra...They're 2 for $42 in the store...So they're a great price and I like them a lot!</p> <p>As far as jeans, my favorite mommy blogger, MODG, just did a post on best jeans for PP and the AG jeans were her faves. I don't know if I'm supposed to link or not, but you can google MODG and her blog will pull right up. She is hilarious and had a really good post on jeans.</p> <p>AFM, I lurve True Religions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/3#post-550059 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:12:12 +0000 hilsy85 550059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: @MsLipGloss: I will try AG! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/3#post-550044 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:07:43 +0000 MsLipGloss 550044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleK: lol! I too would feel guilty about abandoning my Paiges if I find out I prefer AGs. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/3#post-550042 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:06:20 +0000 littlek 550042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I bought a pair of AG jeans and I love them! They have nice stretch and the rise isn't too low. I'm petite and they are one of the few jeans that actually fit a petite person, not that your petite, but I'm super picky and I love them. I don't want my 7 for all mankind jeans to know this, but I think I like the AG more.... aghhh I'm cheating on my 7s... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/3#post-550036 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:04:27 +0000 littlek 550036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I bought a pair of AG jeans and I love them!!<br /> @winniebee: Yea!!! Getting started is the hardest part! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/3#post-549997 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 09:39:49 +0000 MsLipGloss 549997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WinnieBee: I also have a 2 month deadline . . . DH just made partner, and in April, we have to do a whole bunch of social/formal social firm stuff, and I need to look my best! For me, it has been easier to *just do it* with the April date looming. And you're right - the first few days (especially the first day!) were the hardest. It's not quite as difficult to sacrifice a lunch hour and lace up my shoes this week as it was last week. </p> <p>I hope the night nurse helps, too. I am terrified about hearing LO cry though . . . but I know I can't keep this up forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/3#post-549979 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 09:33:10 +0000 winniebee 549979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I figured the hardest part would be starting and going for more than 1 day. My brother's wedding is in 2 months and so that's my goal. Night nurse sounds like an excellent plan - hope it helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/3#post-549976 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 09:31:11 +0000 MsLipGloss 549976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WinnieBee: All that matters is that you started! Sounds like you are off to a great start, too! I am currently squeezing in shorter workouts at lunch because LO does not sleep nearly long enough at night for late workouts (I have a baby nurse coming in tonight for the next several nights to hopefully get things sorted out). And I agree . . . while I have a *goal weight* in mind, what matters more to me is how I feel and how my clothes fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-weight-loss-support-post-bump-love/page/3#post-549969 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 09:24:47 +0000 winniebee 549969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started my regimen a week late. But, Saturday went to the gym. Sunday, shred. Monday, shred. Tonight, shred (can do it after work and T goes to bed since my husband is working late). Then, I just need to fit in a lunch workout at work one day this week and I will have worked out 5 days!! I don't care what I weigh and I do fit in to all of my old clothes. I just want to start feeling good about myself again. </p>
