Hellobee Boards

(1) How much weight would you like to lose? (tangible goal of maybe three months) 5-8 lbs (not really focused on weight though, mostly I just want my clothes to fit the way I feel comfortable with).

(2) How are you planning to achieve that goal? Wean off my SSRI, continue eating healthy and working out, go easy on the booze and sweets in January

(3) What exercise/diet are you currently doing? General healthy eating and lots of homemade salads, Jillian Michaels workouts every evening

(4) Which part of your body would you like to focus on the most? I want my abs back! My stomach muscles have plenty of strength, but postpartum are still stubbornly unflat.

(5) How are you planning to treat/reward yourself for achieving your goal? Wear my bikini in Mexico.

I'm frustrated because I was 100% happy with my body a few months postpartum, but then after that, going on an SSRI for PPD/PPA changed my body enough that my clothes aren't really fitting well anymore. I really want my clothes to fit again, so, going to put some work into that for a few weeks at least. I'm planning to wean off the SSRI in January anyway so I think that will help. I'm still breastfeeding so I don't plan to do any calorie restriction.

LOL! I came online to workout..but found this instead! Haha! Hope I get to work (ing out) after I write this.

Thighs!! How is it that my waist is back to pre-pregnancy size but my legs aren't?

TTC #2 but not until September

Ive been doing bbg too. Been doing well with it until thanksgiving and the holidays came around. I think I may need to start from week 1 again.

(1) How much weight would you like to lose? (tangible goal of maybe three months)
10 lbs? But more realistically 5. Ultimately, i just want to lean up, have better running stats and attempt a tri this year.

(2) How are you planning to achieve that goal?
Bbg, barre, spining, running and swimming

In the last couple of weeks, not much. Prior to that i did barre once a week. The bbg program and some spinning.

(4) Which part of your body would you like to focus on the most?
Mid section

A nice dress/piece of clothing? I've been trying to have more a minimalist closet by having fewer, better things.

(1) How much weight would you like to lose? (tangible goal of maybe three months)
I'd like to lose 20 overall...maybe 8lbs for he next 3 months

(2) How are you planning to achieve that goal?
This month I'm doing a Dietbet with my family and friends. That will be a good boost!

(3) What exercise/diet are you currently doing?
For exercise I walk 3x a week at the indoor track with my BFF. I also have a treadmill at home and will try to do some incline walks 1-2x a week.

I was on weight watchers October/November and lost 12 pounds - but they revamped their program and I really dislike the new system so I am going to cancel my membership and use MFP to track instead

(4) Which part of your body would you like to focus on the most?
My stomach. I just had a baby 3 months ago, couple with gall bladder surgery 4 weeks ago, so things are very flabby. I'm actually below my PRe Preg weight but I don't look it.

(5) How are you planning to treat/reward yourself for achieving your goal?

we are heading to Florida in March so I would love to feel comfortable in my body by then. Buying a new outfit at the outlets would be awesome!

1) How much weight would you like to lose?
20lbs. but realistically more like 12 will probably happen.

(2) How are you planning to achieve that goal?
Gym 2-3x on my lunch break and 21 day fix and Physique 57 at home. I have been avoiding cutting wheat out of my diet because I love it but I have to for health reasons. I also have to cut down on meat so a combo of a low sugar no wheat pescetarian with the occasional meat thrown in.

(3) What exercise/diet are you currently doing?
Nothing. The one where I live in the city and don't have a car so I walk everywhere. I'd be much heavier if I lived somewhere else.

(4) Which part of your body would you like to focus on the most?
My stomach!!! LO told me my belly looks kind of fat recently.

(5) How are you planning to treat/reward yourself for achieving your goal?
New clothes!!!

1) How much weight would you like to lose? (tangible goal of maybe three months)
I would love to lose 10 pounds in the next three months. But I'd be happy with 0.5 pound a week so at least 6.

(2) How are you planning to achieve that goal?
Track calories, walk the dog most days (we live in an area with hills + pushing stroller with toddler = pretty good workout!), get to the gym for classes a few times per week

(3) What exercise/diet are you currently doing?
I haven't been doing much at all lately.

(4) Which part of your body would you like to focus on the most?
Just general toning & weight loss.

(5) How are you planning to treat/reward yourself for achieving your goal?
We are taking LO to England in March. I want to look good in the pics!

@Ms. RV: Yeah, it's a common side effect unfortunately. Just to clarify, I am not weaning off the SSRI just to lose weight, definitely not advocating that for anybody. Mental health is more important than pants size. My psychiatrist and I had already been talking about stepping down in January so that just happens to coincide with my decision to slim down a bit.

(1) How much weight would you like to lose? (tangible goal of maybe three months)

I need to lose 40 lbs. total. Hoping half of that comes off in the next 3 months.

(2) How are you planning to achieve that goal?
I'm signed up for a half-marathon at the end of April and a Ragnar relay race in May. I'm also doing some group training 2x a week plus yoga, and I'm returning to the semi-Paleo diet I abandoned at Thanksgiving.

(3) What exercise/diet are you currently doing?
Running 2-3x a week, and healthy eating during weekdays.

(4) Which part of your body would you like to focus on the most?

I'd like lose inches on my waist, but I'm not going to particularly focus on that.

(5) How are you planning to treat/reward yourself for achieving your goal?

TTC #1.

@earthling: I am obsessed with OTF. I absolutely love it! I have a membership for eight classes a month and while I have my home location, I can use my classes at other locations when I travel (some may have an upcharge).

I'm at a loss as to whether I should join or not! My weight is creeping up now that LO is 2.5+ and only nurses 1-4x a day. Currently I'm not exercising or paying too much attention to what I eat. So I don't know whether I can keep my weight down through diet and exercise, or whether my body is trying to get back to a set point in which case it would be like hitting my head on a wall. Has anyone had experience keeping their breastfeeding weight loss going after weaning? Should I try?

@Mrs. Pen: I'm intrigued by the Kayla workouts! Did you buy them used? I see people often say they are selling them, but not sure if they are being scammy.

Yes! I am in.
1. Perhaps 10 lbs in 3 mo (20 overall)
2. Using MFP (calorie intake) and fitness watch to count steps and monitor overall fitness.
3. Not currently exercising. I hope to walk more steps per day (stairs instead of elevator etc). Figure out how DH and I can change our schedule to add time to go to the gym.
4. A new bathing suit for vacation.

@Mrs. Pen: I follow her also. The results are so inspiring and makes me believe I don't have to have my scary stomach forever lol.
