J just got old enough that we could take him to the gym's daycare so I'm hopeful we may get to the gym eventually. In the meantime eating better/less seems to be helping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1301699 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 16:53:22 +0000 jetsa 1301699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs squirreld: @pmerr: @marionberry: @illumina: How are you guys doing?</p> <p>I've got to get motivated so lets see:<br /> Current weight: 151lb<br /> Height: 5'6"<br /> Goal weight: 135 lb<br /> Nursing: Yes (at home exclusively and pumping at work)<br /> 1st goal: to lose 5 lbs by Jan. 30th!<br /> Current Fitness Goals: Oak Barrel Half Marathon April 5th<br /> Current Food Goals: Start staying under 1800 calories per day (1300+500 for nursing)</p> <p>I'm on myfitnesspal if anyone wants to be friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1230124 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 13:51:04 +0000 pmerr 1230124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure how often I'll check in, but I need to start getting myself in shape again!</p> <p>Current weight: 200lb<br /> Height: 5'3"<br /> Goal weight: 140 lb<br /> Nursing: Yes (pumping)<br /> 1st goal: To include healthier foods at my meals (fruits/veggies, good grains)<br /> Current Fitness Goals: Start walking.

Ouch!! This is gonna be hard, but I want to be fit and healthy for my little guy, plus it's nice to just have an hour to myself and nice for DH to have some alone time with E. :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1209931 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 03:23:49 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1209931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: @illumina: I have the opposite problem... I love food waaaay too much. I finally got round to joining the gym today and have an appraisal tomorrow to do my measurements (boo) and work out an exercise routine (yay). I'm a little bummed about when all the classes are scheduled... None after E's bedtime and only 1 or 2 a week in his nap times so between DH's shift work I might not get to go to the classes a lot. But the gym will be good.... I'm excited to have my music playing and just go for it... I'm not looking forward to how hard its going to be at first though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1206898 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 12:25:43 +0000 marionberry 1206898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: Ya the rain will be here for about 8 months now so I'm probably going to have to get used to taking J out in it at some point. And I agree that eating healthier is usually a quicker fix, albeit for me a harder one.<br /> @mrssquirreld: I've thought about going on my way home from work but I have a feeling that won't happen. I need DH to make me go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1206631 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 07:16:08 +0000 illumina 1206631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: @Mrs squirreld: Rain is my problem too- the cold and wind I can cope with, but not the rain. I hate taking S anywhere in the rain, I usually just avoid it because I don't want to get everything wet.</p> <p>No exercise today... though to be honest, I've never been able to diet through exercise in my life, the only thing that works is eating less/better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1206610 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 05:34:26 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1206610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: @illumina: yaaaaay! You ladies almost have the same specs!!!<br /> @marionberry: funny that rain is your problem and heat is mine!!<br /> @illumina: I feel like chocolate is a drug at the moment! I can't stop eating it!!!! </p> <p>Are you planning on exercising today? I still haven't joined the gum yet. DH has been on night shifts so I've felt a bit like a single parent :-( @marionberry: I can't use the daycare at the gym til E is 3 months either but mine is open late so I'm going to go after 7pm when E is asleep and DH can be home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1206607 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 05:06:54 +0000 illumina 1206607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok here goes!!</p> <p><b>Current weight:</b> 152lbs<br /> <b>Height:</b> 5'3"<br /> <b>Goal weight:</b> 135lbs<br /> <b>Nursing:</b> Yes<br /> <b>1st goal:</b> To drop 12lbs by xmas.<br /> <b>Current Fitness Goals:</b> To go for 3+ walks per week, greater than an hour.

So until December 13th, I guess it will be getting out and about when I can (it's Fall in the Pacific NW which means rain rain rain).<br /> Current Food Goals: Drink more water, eat more home cooked meals, start my healthier eating diet when I go back to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1206407 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 21:52:03 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1206407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ScarletBegonia: thanks for the tip. I have heard great things about that program. I just don't think it's for me at the moment... I want to try and change my behaviors but sometimes I won't always have the time to stick to a strict plan with exercise and eating etc.... It may be a slow transition. ;-) </p> <p>@illumina: @marionberry: details ladies... I'm feeling like a loner! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1205704 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 02:12:32 +0000 ScarletBegonia 1205704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs squirreld: Hi, this is totally NOT the thread for me - I'm 17 weeks from due so hardly post partum! I'm still in the gaining phase!<br /> Just wondering if you had thought of doing the Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation? I swear I don't work for her and I'm not pitching you! But I did 2 rounds before falling pregnant and it was seriously the best thing I've ever done. I lost 10kg in my first round and about 4kg in my second, and got my fitness up to running about 16km straight.<br /> Let me know if you want any additional information. I plan to sign back up as soon as I get clearance after I have my baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1205695 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 01:49:05 +0000 marionberry 1205695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs squirreld: This is me all the time! Easier to do that in your 5 mins of free time than starve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1205572 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 21:52:20 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1205572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: great goals!! Drinking more water is a good one!</p> <p>I failed again with the takeaway! Urgh. I'm trying to get E's naps under control so hopefully that will help me get some "lunch time" yesterday I resorted to takeaway because it got to 3pm and I hadn't eaten!' :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1199032 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 09:40:05 +0000 marionberry 1199032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doing this from my phone so I'll update with details later. As of yesterday I'm right under 10 lbs to go until I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight. My goal is by Christmas to have at least half of that gone if not all. I'd like to drink more water, decrease fast food and make more meals at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1198655 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 05:31:42 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1198655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First fail.... Just had takeaway :-( but on the plus side I'm joining the gym tomorrow!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1193217 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 06:11:18 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1193217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: I am eating like crap too! :-( I feel so guilty about it too as its going into my milk and isn't very nutritious! I think I need to make some more freezer meals, because everytime DH works nights I end up eating crap. Or if E is fussy around lunch time I just get DH to go get takeaway.. I need to kick this habit pronto!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1193215 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 06:07:22 +0000 illumina 1193215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I get chance to weigh myself again, pick my goal weight and convert these to lbs and kg I'll join! I'm ashamed to say that after losing 28lbs the first couple of weeks pp, I've put on 7lbs again... mostly due to eating poorly :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2013-mamas-new-mama-bods#post-1191972 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 01:23:53 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1191972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since we are all getting our 6 week clearance now, I thought we could use this thread to inspire each other on our personal goals. It could just be as simple as watching what you eat or going for short walks. Let's get positive about our mama bodies!!</p> <p>I'll start! If anyone would prefer this thread to be gold just let me know ;-)</p> <p>Current weight: 83kg (Approx 183lbs)<br /> Height: 173cm (Approx 5"8')<br /> Goal weight: 70kg (Approx 154lbs)<br /> Nursing: Yes<br /> 1st goal: Under 80kg by Christmas :-).<br /> Current Fitness Goals: Hoping to join the gym next week and start going to classes/workout atleast 3 times a week. ( It's waaaay too hot here to go walking with the pram ;-( )<br /> Current Food Goals: Be more organised with meals so I stop buyng takeaway.</p> <p>After E was born I was already under my pre-preg weight but my pre-preg weight was overweight :-( so time to lose it for good! </p>
