I see a huge difference!

@PrincessBaby: looking good!

9 months postpartum and I'm 3 lbs lighter than I was when I got pregnant, but I was trying to lose 10-15 lbs. before I got pregnant, so I need to get on that. I lost the baby weight by doing nothing but breastfeeding and eating burgers, pizza, and veggies I plan on getting back on my Physique 57 and sticking to eating healthy to hopefully drop 10 lbs. by LOs bday in mid-April.

@PrincessBaby: I gained a total of 50 lbs., lost 30 super fast, then the last 20 came off slowly. I've been at my current weight for the past 2 months!

Physique 57 is a Barre workout, it combines ballet, yoga, Pilates, and some strength training in one.

This is where I am now. I start 30 day shred tomorrow. (I have been saying tomorrow for two months but I mean it this time!!!)

This is super awkward but here I go...

Edit: ok my crapypy cell phone pics are blurry and make me look better than I do in real life (you can't see the jiggles) so I don't think it's worth it to post a pic! Lol

@PrincessBaby: I definitely see a difference!! Woohoo

I've lost 10 pounds since the first of the year and I'm eating mostly paleo (with some dairy here and there) and I'm running again (FINALLY). I've been running 5 days a week and doing the shred here and there. I'm definitely noticing a difference. I have 20 pounds left before I get to a weight that I'm comfortable with (I gained 45 total)....25ish to a goal weight area.

I've still got a very stubborn 10 left. I can pull most of my old jeans on, but there's a good 2-3 inches left until I can button them...so frustrating! I'm not willing to do anything major at the moment since I'll still have a huge transition when he gets home but I started choosing lower calorie foods - even though I'm still hungry all the time! And I've been taking the stairs at the hospital and walking to lunch each day.

I'm giving myself until summer so I think I can do it.

I also did crunches the other night before bed. It was to be the start of a nightly routine but no repeat yet, whoops! Once baby gets home I want to do lots more walking and jog as soon as he's old enough to go with me but I know that'll be awhile.

I'll join
Pre pregnancy: 115 pds
Gained 30 pounds
Current weight: 129 pds
Goal weight: 120 pds before we start actively TTC #2
I've been working out everyday but I have not been doing great controlling my sweets. I love cookies. I do the shred 5 days a week and run the other 2 days. Next week I'm goin to add morning runs in as well.

@PrincessBaby: you look amazing pp

I only gained about 20 lbs during my pregnancy. I was 118 pre-pregnancy, but dropped to 116 during the first trimester. I've made 116 my goal weight. I'm 3 months pp and just started working out this week. The husband and I are doing the Insanity workout and loosely following their diet plan (eating 5 meals a day to boost our metabolism). Insanity is hard, and I can't keep up, but i just do it at my own pace. It's a lot more fun for me than 30 day shred which I think gets boring. I'm almost done with week 1 and I'm down from 122 lbs to 119!

Count me in! I was under 120 pre preg and super fit. Gained about 40 lbs, and at six weeks pp the weight loss is plateauing in the mid-upper 120s. I want to get back in my jeans, the saggy butt and thunder thighs are killing me!

No plans to return to the gym quite yet. I'll be doing hiit and 30ds. @autumn865: I'm doing hiit because it's such a small time commiment, even if it's super intense!

@PrincessBaby: I love this idea of a thread! encouragement and support of those you can relate to have been key for me getting fit after baby and I'm super jealous you're in 26's, my 27's are still snug around the hips/thighs!

You all are doing great!! So inspired by your dedication, I gotta get my butt moving

PP weight loss plan start: I don't know if I exactly count as PP anymore as DS is 1, but I'm really into keeping fit and always surprised/amazed by how different things are after baby.
Goal Weight: 118 - that's my regular PP weight. I'm at 125 right now, pretty happy with where I am but things are so different.
LBs lost so far: almost 60 since this time last year
What are you doing for weight loss: 30DS, I want to get back to my green smoothie routine, I felt great!

Moms of older babies, can I ask a question: after breastfeeding did you go back to your regular bra size? I'm still up a cup but everything has changed.

@winniebee: geez I stopped BFing at 11 months and he's 13 months now. I'm usually a 34B but am most definitely a 34C now.. wonder how long it will last

I am joining in!

PP weight loss plan start: 148 at 5 weeks PP (I have been here since 2 weeks PP, so kind of stuck.)
Goal Weight: 140 lbs
LBs lost so far: At my last appointment before I delivered I was 167 lbs,so I have lost 19 lbs.
What are you doing for weight loss: just breastfeeding. I am day 4 of going dairy free, I think that will help lose some weight. Next week I have my 6 week check and then I will add in some exercise.

I'll join! Now that the kids are 6 months and a little easier, I've been able to focus on getting rid of the stubborn lbs. It's sooo amazing to have time to exercise and cook real food again! And this is great motivation not to cheat! We nap trained this month and too often I grabbed a sweet treat to distract me from them crying or as a reward when they finally passed out...oops.

PP weight loss plan start: Gained 50/55 with the twins. Went down to 180ish in the week after delivery and got stuck there. 181 starting weight as of the first week of January.

Goal Weight: 150 was pre ivf weight. i'd be ok with 155, but i felt really fantastic at 150.

LBs lost so far: 5 (176) it's amazing what a difference even 5 lbs makes! i doubt anyone else notices

What are you doing for weight loss: tracking calories with myfitnesspal, running most days, reducing carbs, minimal dairy, hauling two 17 pounders around all day!

@rachiecakes: my boobs never got huge for BF to begin with, and i'm not totally weaned yet, but mine are pretty much down to their pre-preg size after about a month of only producing about a bottle or so of milk a day. my chest (band size) is still wider though - i'm interested to see if that really decreases with weight loss or is a permanent change.

@PrincessBaby: one of my co-workers gave it to me, it was spinach, green beans, banana, apple, banana, strawberries, lemon juice & water. I'll post the amounts on your wall - it was great! I had it for breakfast & lunch with a hardboiled egg and almonds as a snack and was FULL. (I had a normal dinner with DS & DH.)

@MerryC: We were at the same weight at delivery, no wonder the L&D receptionist asked if I was having twins
my boobs never got super huge either but they definitely have gone from being full and dense to saggy and soft. I've heard that it can take up to a year after weaning for it to even out!

I'll join! I totally need this. I am 7 weeks postpartum

PP weight loss plan start: 116 (7 weeks PP)
Goal Weight: 100 ( I'm really short FYI haha) I was 110 pre pregnancy but 100 is my happy weight
LBs lost so far: I've lost 34 out of 40 that I gained during pregnancy
What are you doing for weight loss: Just breastfeeding. I just got cleared from my doc yesterday. DH bought us kettle bells and a DVD but it looks intense. Thinking about doing weight watchers online since I've had success with it in the past.

I can get my pre pregnancy jeans on but i can't walk or button them. So my goal is to fit into them again!

Just noticed my DVD says "Ripped in 30" rather than "30 Day Shred."

Does anyone know the difference?

@Rainbow Sprinkles: different dvd! Jillian has a million vodeos out. I yhink I have all of them!

@princessbaby: you look fab mama! Great job!! Keep up the extra hard effort!!

Like @hilsy85 I'm focusing on how much and what I eat! Exercise wise I'm doing 30ds and other jm dvds, treadmill running, and will be signing up for zumba and cardio kickboxing!

Headed back to work in fout wks and I'm hoping not to buy new clothes!

@Rainbow Sprinkles: i feel weird joining at 9 months!!
