How did you lose the baby weight?

I have a good 30lbs to lose until I am at a good weight. I was thinking of doing weight watchers, and will also go back to the gym starting mid sept. I still need a little bit more time to heal from the c section.

I was wondering what you girls did to get the weight off?

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

Well, I'm about 5 mos PP and I'm still carrying the weight. I need to lose about 20lbs and I'll be happy. I'm hoping once I go back to work and am a bit more "active", it will slowly come off.

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

I plan on joining Weight Watchers online after I stop breastfeeding. I did really well on it a few summers ago. I wasn't into the idea of the whole meeting things, and I was surprisingly good at holding myself accountable online.

Good luck!

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

i guess i was pretty lucky i lost most of the baby weight after the baby was born on its own and then i just took lots of walks with the baby and tried to eat a little healthy and it worked..but i def owe it all to the long walks with dd.

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

I have 20 lbs. that I would like to get rid of. I did WW pre-preg. and did great with it. I plan on goin back once I go back to work and have a schedule and more routine.

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

I lost most of it right after I delivered and EBF has helped a lot. I've gone back to spinning. Not really watching what I eat since I am still ravenous from EBF. I've got about 10 to go, but not worrying too much about it.

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

I am 4 months pp and just started Slimfast... and I take tennis lessons..I am just starting to get the weight off

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

I joined the Y but I still have about 10 pounds to go. I am horrible about watching what I eat.

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

I am 9 weeks post partum and 2 lbs from my prepregnancy weight. I gained 45 lbs during my pregnancy. Honestly, I ate whatever I wanted during pregnancy so after labor I really felt like I was detoxing and I was/am DETERMINED to get the weight off. I really watch what I eat and eat small portions and I am working out like a maniac (elliptical, Tae Bo). It's really all about what you put in your mouth though, and I've been really good with that.

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

See, my problem is that in my mind I was really 15lbs overweight before I got preggo - so I really want to lose the 30lbs to get back to where I was back in the day before getting married. It all went downhill after I walked down that aisle.

I actually can't wait to get back to the gym - not only to feel better but to have a little "ME" time!

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

I lost all pretty easy, didn't gain too much to start with. The last 8 lbs I did on WW, and at 3.5 months PP, I am below my pre-preggo weight which I am psyched about.

BUT ... I did have extra weight to start with, so it couldn't hurt for me to keep losing more weight ...

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

2 years postpartum I also joined WW. I had 10 lbs to lose - I have lost 4 already (although I think I gained 1 back this week).

6 more pounds to go and it will be time to have another baby!

I really do like weight watchers - it's not too hard and the weight comes off in a healthy way.

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

I was very lucky...I dont know what I did to get lucky I lost all but 5 lbs before I left the hospital - - but to loose those last few and basically to tone all of the blub that was left behind...I took L-O-N-G walks with DD every day.

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

I put on 48 pounds and although it probably took a solid 7-8 months, I've lost it all. I was not one of those lucky people who delivered and all of a sudden lost 20 pounds. I think I only lost maybe 12 pounds having the baby. The rest slowly, but surely came off. The fact that I went back to work as a dance teacher 3 weeks after I had DS didn't hurt. I definitely watched what I ate, but I wasn't crazy about it.

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

I put on a little over 40lbs with ds #3 and he is now 6mos old I have about 10lbs left to loose from him and an additional 10lb to feel better about myself. In the beginning I was walking 2x a wk for about 40mins each time. However I have now stopped and I don't seem to be loosing anymore so come Sept. I'm hopefully going to start again. Also I have a 2yr that I chase after all day

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

Weight Watchers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

#1- gained 50 lbs lost all but 7-9 lbs 5mPP then got pg with #2

#2-gained 40lbs, have 13 to get to weight I was when got pg 18-20 to be at pre pg weight.

I lost it all on my own, just watching my intake of refined foods and calorie dense foods. Drank TONS of water and no articial sweetners or junk food.
I walked everyday for at least 30-60 mins-here in ct, it's very hilly.

I am doing the same for #2, I had a section and my recovery from the section as been by far wayyyyy easier then my v birth, so i am off!

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

I lost all the PG weight right away. Still have my little belly pouch though. I am actually 2Lbs less than pre-pregnancy. I go for a stroller walk every day for at least 30 minutes (3 hours today!!!!!!!!)

BUT I was overweight before being PG so I still have LOTS of weight to lose.

I am considering WW when I am done BF.

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

I'm 4 months PP and have about 8 pounds to lose to get to pre pregnancy weight. I think some of the weight is hanging around due to the breastfeeding. I try and run 4-5 times a week, but I need to do crunches - my abs are a looooooooong way off from where they should be.

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

I am 2 and a half months PP and I have 5 ounds to go. I've just been eating extremely healthy, and exclusively breastfeeding. I also spin about 3 days a week.

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

Well I had 20lbs left over when I got pg with DD and lost her weight and 5lbs so far after this pg so that is always an option .

Also go for walks, especially since the wether is starting to get better for that. I would walk 2 miles 3-4 times a week. I did that mostly when I was pg and I think that helped out alot to control my weight. I also think weight watchers is great. I did it a few years back and you really can loose that weight quit easily if you stick to it. Also drinks lot of water.

Re: How did you lose the baby weight?

I also did WW to get the extra weight off and def recommened it. In addition I run 4 times a week for 30-45 mins.
