Any new Mom's out there trying to get back in shape?

My weight seems to be coming off nicely and Dh is reminding me how I might not have gotten real big till the end but I did put a bit on each month. In about 3 weeks I am down from the 170's to 128lbs. (Waterweight and breastfeeding seem to be helping me alot!)

But my main areas of concern are my stomach and my hips and getting them toned again. My postpartum checkup isn't until the 24th but my midwife told me I can do some leg and thigh exercies just no abs or real stressful stuff till she ok's me.

Dh is deploying in about 4 weeks and my goal is by time he comes back in the Fall to be in really good shape for him... anyone want to join up and discuss what workouts you are doing or what worked for you?

i am trying to knock them off as well....I waited until 3.5 months to start anything (I was walking daily, but nothing else until now)...just joined a contour express place (good deal for a 3 month membership). I too am BF, but not sure how much that helps :)

Anyone else??

This is what I am trying to do. The pounds have been coming off very nice but now I am hitting a brick wall.

I was a size 8 before I was prego I gained 43 pounds after I gave birth I was a size 16 and now I am a size 12 but now can't get anywhere I am trying but not going anywhere I want to get back to my size 8 but setting little goals for myself like loose 5 pounds by a certain date and I will set another small goal and it was working but now I feel like

I try to incorporate lots of walking too...do we live near each other?? would be great if we could organize a walking support group :)

I started at 130 ish and went up over 200 (I was preeclamptic, so not sure how much was fluid retention...) I dropped 40, but still have much more to go!!!!@!!!!

I have been doing WW and I am SLOWLY loosing the weight today someone asked me if I was pregnant again my daughter is only 4 1/2 months old...I am having a bad day

I'm starting to get into the gym next week (doctor ok'ed it). I joined the gym and worked out a schedule with my mother to watch the baby while I go.

I already lost 25 pounds after giving birth a month ago. Now I have the remaining 20 pounds leftover on my stomach, hips and legs. I plan on doing LOTS of cardio and some light weights.

Let's hope it works...

okay, it's going to be a year in august since I had Alia and I still have a little belly. I can't go to the gym so any suggestions on how to lose it or at least tone it down? I could use some help here.

Does anyone know how to lose the weight without going to the gym? Are there any good DVD excercise suggestions?

Well, since I'm a brand new mommy, I can't really exercise too much yet, but I plan on trying to lose at least 35 pounds. I was overweight pre-pregnancy and I actually didn't gain much (I'm almost down to my pre-pregnancy weight already and it hasn't even been a week since I delivered.) I'm hoping it will be easy considering that I'm breastfeeding and I've been eating a LOT healthier.
