Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

All I keep thinking about it how much weight I need to loose, and how I'm going to do it. When that doctors gives me the okay, I'm going straight to the gym. I'm also thinking of different exercises I can do while at home. I may even take one of those baby yoga classes. I also plan to take baby and doggie for lots of walks.
I just can't wait to have my body back!!

I can't wait to do baby yoga classes!

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

I hear ya... I'm thinking the same thing. Def want to get back to the gym and go back to my kickboxing classes I used to take b4 getting pregnant. Also, lots of walks in the area with the baby. I'm due in the spring and hoping to be back in bikini shape for the summer... even if it's the end of the summer. LOL

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

YES...I have never ever in my life been this heavy! I have always been pretty weight obsessed. I am happy that this "fat" is going to bring an incredible little person in to my life but I keep thinking how sloppy I am going to look afterwards..

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

i'm trying not to think about the amount of weight i need to loose since i know SOME will come off around the time i give birth (ie - a 6-10 lb baby ) but i would like to get a membership to a gym or yoga studio. i'd love to start doing baby yoga when is old enough. i'm also really looking forward to taking walks and taking advantage of park slope. (i'm so happy i'm due in june - the weather will at least lend itself to this!)

i lost 40lbs. and kept it off a few years ago so while i'm scared of gaining too much weight and keeping it on, i also kind of feel like i did it once, i can do it again...

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

omg, i CANNOT WAIT for pregnancy to be over so that i can exercise again (i can't really do anything now cause i had preterm contractions last time around).

i am already fantasizing about doing something to challenge myself, like a triathlon or a half-marathon

BUT at the same time, i know i need to be realistic about my goals... took me a whole year to get the weight off after the first baby (i only gained about 22lbs, but nursing kept me heavy). with two, i'm thinking it might be even harder to put in the effort. so i know it will be a while before i'm really back to myself

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

I am planning on BF-ing and hoping that I lose weight just like my other BF-ing friends {{crossing fingers!}}

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

absolutely, I think about this all the time! I feel totally gross lately. Can't wait to get back on our treadmill.. it's collecting dust right now

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

Yes I'm planning on a lot of walks w/ the dog and baby and when I'm able to starting to run w/ DH.

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

Yeah- I already fantasize about going for daily walks and hitting the gym a few times a week.

Unfortunately I am not allowed to exercise AT ALL right now- barely walking- so I know the weight is gonna pile on.

I don't care though- I can always lose it- as long as this baby stays healthy!

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

Absolutely! I've never felt so unattractive in my life. I can't wait to get back into heels and fitted clothing!

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

I can't wait. I gained some weight right before the BFP, and now all this extra weight I feel huge.

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

For me, it didn't take much to lose the weight the first time around. I just BF and that did wonders. Hopefully, it will happen again that way this time. With a toddler and a newborn, *really* working out or having the energy to do so will probably be unlikely.

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

I totally think of this. I'm very weight/gym obsessed because of the weight I lost years ago and have kept of. I'm hoping b/fing will help. I like the idea of joining Stroller Strides- not sure if it's as intense of a workout as I normally like, but it will be a great way to meet local moms and friends for our . I have a feeling I'll have to either quit my gym or freeze membership from my 9 month until the baby's about 3 months old. Then I'll TRY to go to the gym when DH gets home. I pray pray pray I can because I love my old workout regime!!

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

I think about this almost every day lately!! I haven't come up with a game plan yet but I need to think of something cause my body is starting to freak me out! (seems like I'm gaining everywhere except my belly!) lol

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

Yes!!! I am due in 9 days and I have never felt (or been) so heavy in my life!!! I feel gross and can't wait to be able to move around normally again!

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

no, but can't wait to fit back in my regular clothes...

I guess I'm counting on BFing to help me....I shouldn't count on it, but I just don't care that much right now, I just want to feel good


I can't wait to FEEL lighter on my feet though!

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

LOL...that is so funny that this was posted today. I was just telling my sister-in-law that I have 3 months to get back into shape for the summer!! lol. Not sure how I am going to do it yet, but it WILL get done...lol

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

Yes! I can't wait to be able to work out 100%. I'm still working out, but at very low impact. I can't wait to wear my regular clothes again.

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

My future BIL (sister's FH) is a personal trainer - and like a 5th degree blackbelt or something crazy like that -

I plan to have him over to kick my *** b/c he is NO joke when it comes to his job .....And if HE trains me, I wouldn't want to disappoint him, so I'd actually work my tush off .........I have a bowflex and elliptical machine at the house -

I also plan to make good use of my Bugaboo and walk Baby K all over the place .........-

I'm not really too worried about it - 6 months that I don't have to go into the office should allow me enough time to get myself back in shape !!

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

I think about it constantly!
I am so scared that the weight won't come off! Before becoming PG I was at the gym 5-6 days a week and saw a personal trainer. Now I am there 4-5 days a week but only doing cardio. I am very self conscious and always watching what I eat. ( I actually get professional help for this)
I made DH promise to get me the best personal trainer out there. I told him I didn't want jewelry or anything else! I just want to look good again.
As soon as I get the ok from the doctor I plan to hit the gym. Plus I plan to take lots of walks with the baby.

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

OMG! So glad I read this..I thought I was the only one! Don't get me wrong I LOVE my belly.....but I cannot wait to look good in clothes again!......Having had a gastric bypass a few years ago I know whats it's like to be really heavy and lose the weight and I never want to be that big again so for me I think it lit a huge fire under me to eat healthy during pregnancy and to get active ASAP after delivery......

I already looked into Mommy and Me Yoga also.......and planoon taking long walks with them around our development.....I think it's on EVERY preggo's mind!

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

I am sooooooo worried about this. I too have a body complex and saw a therapist for this. I am only 6 weeks and am so sick all day. I can't eat the things, I usually eat since I can't bear the thought of eating. However, I know I need to eat and have had somethings I would NEVER normally eat since it is all I can keep down. I haven't had regular pizza or pasta in about 2 years, but I have been eating it since it is all I can keep down. Carbs are my enemy and I am going to pay for this dearly. I only went to the gym twice this week, and it really bothers me. I am not sure how I am going to get through this.

Re: Anyone else already thinking about how they will get their bodies back in shape?

I used to do really intense workouts (CrossFit) before getting pregnant and plan on going right back to it as soon as I get the okay after the baby is born. I don't have ANY energy to even go for a walk lately so I know i'll be looking forward to working out again!
