Before I became pregnant with my eldest child I weighed 135-140. By the end of my first pregnancy I weighed 206 pounds. After I gave birth I got my weight down to the 170-180 range. By the time I was pregnant with her sister 3 years later my weight had crept up to the 190 pound range. I ate very healthy during my second pregnancy and did my very best not to gain weight. Unfortunately I had pre-gestational diabetes and was retaining water like crazy. By the end of my second pregnancy I weighed 240 pounds, 100 pounds more than I weighed when I met my husband. I have since not been able to get my weight under 182. My current weight is 217. I am certain that this time around I am going to get the weight off for 2 reasons. 1. I am not having any more children, so I don't have to worry about making the problem worse again. 2. I have a much better grasp of healthy eating thanks to the sparkcoach feature of sparkpeople.com.

Ugh. You have no idea! I had twins in September - I gained 50 lbs and lost 37 within 2 weeks. Then the holidays came... and I'm a big time stress eater... and who can exercise with newborn twins? By Jan 1, I had gained back 15 lbs! Unless I am absolutely perfect with my eating every day, I just go up and down 1 or 2 lbs every day. I'm trying to be focused - they are 6 months old now, I could still get the weight all off by the time they are one...

YES!!!!! I lost the weight (many years) after my first born. I had the suprise of a life time when I got pregnant again after nearly eight years (of using no protection). I lost the weight directly after my son was born. I got pregnant yet again and gained 70 pounds. I waited longer this time to get back at working out (my daugher was about to turn 1) and it is SO MUCH harder this time around. I exercise 5 days out of the week as well as track my food 5 days out of the week. The weight seems like it is just sitting there no matter what I do. It gets very discouraging but I keep right on at it. It will take a lot more time and a lot of hard work to get to where I need to be but in the end it will all be worth it.

Right there along with you. I was overweight before having kids. Finally - after 3 kids I decided to lose the weight and lost around 40 pounds. I was ecstatic - and it felt really good too. I didn't lose it by following and diet or anything - just by eating healthier and working out. Then - got pregnant with #4. So - I am back where I started - AGAIN - but I know I can do this. It is going to be harder this time - because now I have more on my plate - so fitting in exercise isn't going to be as easy - but I am determined. My progress may be a bit slower than last time - but it will come! Sumay

My name is Trish Moore and this is my first post here. I wanted to join this forum because I have just started a couple of sites, one on weight loss after pregnancy and the other on parenting, and wanted to be where I can hear what people are talking about, helpful hints and comments that I can share on my sites. I believe there might be some information and a program called "Be a Yummy Mummy" on my site that could possibly help. It takes into consideration diet, exercise and setting goals in a co-ordinated way. I would appreciate if you come and have a look and let me know what you think. weightlossgoalsafterpregnancy.info parentwithloveandlogic.net

I'm getting back into exercise and eating well again. My baby is 5 months. I was in such great shape before baby and I just want to feel great again. I have about 30 pounds to lose and I don't care about the actual number, but I just want to fit back into my clothes and have a better shape than I do now. I'm struggling a bit with exercise though. I use to looove the Jillian Michael's dvds, but now I can't do them because of the size of my chest. The girls are so big that I can't do jumping jacks, or any kind of movement like that. Any suggestions?

I just started exercising again two weeks ago, my baby is 5 weeks old. It feels good to be back on Sparkpeople. I need to lose 13 pounds to be back to pre-pregnancy weight, have lost half a pound so far, and I know its going to be a challenge just because of the life style change. I thought it was hard finding time before he was born, but I am determined to loose it. Being in the house all day surrounded by food is a struggle, so I try not to buy any junk food, lucky for me my husband is also trying to lose his baby weight too. I am going to stick to it and do my best.

I'm nine months after birth and still struggling.. I gained close to 50 lbs during pregnancy and I can't stand to look at my fugure in the mirror.. I've always been quite skinny and fit. for some reason, I had this stupid belief that the weight will just come off after giving birth...and I thought that breastfeeding will speed things up since you burn so much calories - I was wrong! I lost a bunch of weight the first month but then I started gaining even more weight! Two months ago I decided that I hadn't "Just had a baby" (as I was constantly telling myself) and got fed up looking 7 months pregnant (eventhough I had my baby 6 months ago). Eating healthy and working out had very little effect on my weight (I think that something changed in my body's abbility to lose weight after giving birth, a slower metabolism perhaps). Anyways, it made me really depressed so I decided to jumpstart my weight loss with some crash diets which I know are very UNHEALTHY and normally I do not recommend them as a way to lose weight (but I was at a very low point). In just six weeks I lost 24 lbs! I'm now trying to follow a healthy eating plan and exercise more often but its going very slow. All I can say is don't give up - it took 9 months for your body to get this way it just might take 9 months to get the weight off! I wrote some tips for losing weight after birth that helped (and are still helping) me to lose weight, click the link if you're intersted in reading them Good luck to all moms trying to lose their baby fat tamar27.wix.com/nina

Prepreggo clothes were my motivation. Don't buy the junk and you won't eat it is my best suggestion. I totally understand the convenience factor, but there are tons of healthier alternatives. Greek yogurt, apples, fiber one brownies and bars where what I made sure to keep on hand. Lean pockets are easy and somewhat healthy. When I had my baby I made large crockpot batches of food and froze them so there was always only healthy options.

I just had my third baby on November 15, 2012. I had a c-section so I am just now getting back to regular exercise. I don't have any problem with working out, I really need help with the eating part. My diet is horrible and I tend to opt for fast food because I am so busy with EVERYTHING!!! I also snack way too much and its usually chips, popcorn, and cookies (BLEH!!!). I really need tips on how to stay motivated and I would also like to find quick healthy meals that I can make when I am strapped for time!!! I say don't give up and keep trying until you figure out what works best for you and Good Luck ;-).

Your story rings a familiar sound in my ear. I too struggled with breast feeding until the doc told me to stop because it was causing me more stress than it was producing milk for my son. Anyway, I let all these feelings of being an 'unfit mother' enter my head which had a direct effect on my energy / motivation level to eat right and exercise. Don't do this, please, and if you already are, stop. You can be an amazing mom to your child without breast feeding and it sounds like you are finding a way to do the bonding with your baby in different ways- awesome! Keep this up! One thing that I have been doing lately is if you for some reason 'need' to have junk food in the house- which socially there are times- put a stop sign on the bag where it is opened and even a piece of gum on it with a note saying- 'this instead!'. The visual cue helps you to take that extra second to decide if you really want that food, and the gum can give you a chewy alternative. Now, if you don't 'need' junk food in the house- DON'T buy it. Sounds easy, but like you said time, is a factor for moms esp. new moms. Also, food companies spend a lot of time and $ making their foods and packaging appealing for us making them more difficult to turn down when we are tired, lonely (due to the changes in lifestyle), and not ecstatic with our bodies. If you find that you don't have the will power to say no to them right now, don't go shopping by yourself. Have a friend, neighbor, in law come with you and hold you accountable for what goes into your cart. Lists help, but if you are anything like me who is held captive by the 'mommy brain', you suddenly remember things that you need when you are at the grocery store, healthy and otherwise so another person who knows your goals and who will hold firm to them works better. Another thing that I have found is to drink enough water and get enough sleep. Personally, I need more sleep now that my two kids need me day in and day out than I did when I was in the corporate world. Again, get your support network to help you out when and wherever possible. I'm a night owl, but my kids go to sleep by 8 so that means that they get me up earlier in the morning than I'm ready to wake up. Luckily, my husband is supports me and will get the kids set up with fresh diapers, breakfasts, etc in the am letting me sleep until he walks out of the door at 7:30am. I hope that you have someone who can support you in a similar fashion no matter if its taking the overnight feeding shift or letting you go to bed early. You CAN do this, mom, you can. Remember the first step of getting back to your healthy beautiful body is believing you already are beautiful, just updating to a newer version.

I, too, struggle with not getting a true work out in. One of the things that has helped me is to 'rebrand' what a work out is for me. I utilize carrying laundry (and my kids) up and down the stairs, lifting gallons of milk and laundry detergent, as well as squatting and doing lunges while cleaning up toys. I may not get 30 minutes all in a row, but the 5-10 minutes at a time adds up and helps me to feel better. I am still looking for ways to get my cardio in- my kids dance with me in my kitchen, but there again it is 5-10 minutes before I lose their attention. If you really, really need to get away (because you are a better mommy when you feel like a full person and it is okay to need to get away from your kids and house once in awhile), see if there are any other moms that you could exchange childcare with in your area or your gym. After all, we are all in this together! Keep it up, mom, it may not seem like it sometimes, but by fulfilling your mommy duties day in and day out, you are setting your kid up with the best start possible. Best, Leanbr

I know what you mean. My baby girl is 5months old and it is hard to get away. I am a stay at home mom. I have 3 boys also. They all keep me on my feet. Im tired all the time. It was always easy for me to crab junk food over cooking. I recently began tring again on healthy eating. i cut 99% of soda n snack cakes out. Way more water now. But working out right now is what I am struggling with. I would love people in my corner to push me. I dont really have that.

Just remember ladies, we all found the strength to carry our children. We all found the strength for that one last push when we didn't think we could push anymore. We all found the strength to make it through sleepless nights, exploding diapers and the other challenges that motherhood has brought us. Our reward for our efforts has been one of the most rewarding experiences life can offer. We are strong enough to do this too! Remember that what your body can do is so much more important than how much it weighs. So in those moments when it seems like the weight will never come off, remember how hard it was to do that first sit up after giving birth and think of how many sit ups you can do now. Or how many push ups you can do or how much longer you can run around after your kids at the park or whatever measure you have of your improving health.

I too am having a problem losing weight. I have five kids 8 and under and feel like I have no time for exercise. I start what seems to be easy enough: walking, jumping jacks, stretching, and other things like that but after a week I get unmotivated and stop, I say I will tomorrow and it doesn't happen. Plus I am tired all of the time! I take medicine for really bad back pain and migraines which works pretty well but still really takes over me about 5 times a month. I lost 17 pounds in first three weeks after the baby (born June 2012- weighed myself day after having baby) but after that it has been such a struggle. Also frustrating because I reduce calories, exercise more, and watch not to eat bad things and nothing happens! I mean I can just be me and do nothing & I maintain, so what's the point? Looked all over online and nothing really works. I have tired exercise, low calorie diet, low carb diet, tracking what I eat and exercise I do, tried diet pills, and more. I do not have a lot of money and do not have home equipment. I do not have time to go the the gym either. Anyone have any suggestions other than keep trying?

I am having a hell of a time losing weight as well. I only gained 35 lbs while pregnant. First preganancy. I immediately lost 20 right after having baby and cannot lose the last 15. I am 8 months post partum and the scale will literally not move. I breastfed for 6 months and did not lose any while breastfeeding but told myself I would probably lose it after. I exercised my entire preganancy and I mean exercised! I did Crossfit 3 times a week and modified the workouts but did not slow down. I ate well while pregnant and am continuing to try and do so but I feel like something is wrong with my body. I've had bloodwork down, gotten my thryroid checked and my iron levels and everything is normal. I just can't lose a pound. In the beginning, I actually gained weight when I monitored my eating so I stopped. Now, I'm just trying to eat healthy, limiting carbs, trying to eat good fats like nuts and dried fruits, etc. I know they say to be patient, and I'm trying to be, but shouldn't I lose at least a 1 lb a week? I wanted to try for my second around the year mark but just can't even think about it when I'm still overweight. This is having a serious effect on me. I'm petite, 5'2" and my clothes don't fit, I can't afford a new wardrobe!!

I have a huge problem with stress and overeating. I am 6 weeks into lifestyle changes that left that habit behind. Still working on finding good stress relief. I am now 14 months post pardum and I am starting to finally lose weight. I had 3 consecutive pregnancies in 09 10 and 11. We finished nursing 3 months ago and have lost 20 lbs over the last 6 weeks. I have started adding regular exercise each week. I could use some tips on good stress relief that isn't yoga or eating.
I can only change what I am willing to acknowledge

i agree with the previous commentator...stress keeps the weight on. And I also have a sweet tooth that helps me with stressful situations. So I still have my baby weight, but i am finally hittin the gym and my babies are 14 mon old! Keep taking care of yourself!

i went from 115 before being pregnant to 187 after giving birth (the baby was 1 day old when i measured this and i was high risk so i ate my life away and layed on the couch the last 4 months not a good idea =] ) to 135 6 months after having the baby, and then after 1.5 years i measured back to 125 lbs:
well this is what i do to exercise : i do the elliptical climber for 30 min or an hour twice a week. and then try to squeeze in some reps for my strength (thighs hips, stomach and hands). since i know that i would like to reach my goal faster what i also do is i do exercise at home.
i do this before bed everynight: I do not have time and energy to do crazy intensive workout but what i do is vigorous jumping jacks, 30 reps jumping strength, and 20 reps jumping in all the directions, (since technically you are jumping three times per rep your are actually doing 60 reps but this way you are moving your whole body off the ground consistently). and i make sure to this every night, (it only takes about5 to ten minutes before i go to bed).
on days when i have some more time i add 3 minutes of crunches, 5 minutes of sittups, 15-20 pushups, and then i'll do my jumping jacks one more time, (same reps). when all is said and done its not a crazy workout nor is it gonna be a huge time consumer (with this addition about 30 minute workout in total), but it works.
ladies it takes nine months to gain the weight so expect 12 months to loose the weight. after a year i tell you my weight dropped thats when a lot of my water weight left my body too, but at first weight loss seems like impossible. do not give up because the weight eventually comes off just keep trying. good luck everyone!

Nikki_Baylee - It sound like you are doing the right things in regards to exercise. I've done Insanity, TF, and am currently running and doing Les Mills Pump. If you are plateaued, chances are your body is telling you you need to change things up with your diet (maybe eating different types of food, not necessarily less) and your exercise (you may actually be doing too much and your body doesn't have a chance to rest and repair). I'm sorry you're struggling with this - don't let your whole focus narrow down to these 10 lbs - enjoy your baby - get in a place of gratitude. The 10 lbs will come off!

I've been struggling with losing weight after having my baby in June. My hubby is fairly active. He used to run track in high school and still likes to take a job after coming home from work (regardless of how late it is). My hubby's parents are coming to meet me and our baby for the first time on November 1. I'm nervous as apparently they've always lived a healthy lifestyle whereas I have struggled with alcoholism and depression. I'm even on medication now for postpartum depression/anxiety. I just hope they still think as much of me when they meet me as they did after talking to me on the phone.

I know exactly how you feel. I have two kids and I was NEVER able to lose weight with breastfeeding so after I had my daughter I was 190lbs, the heaviest I had ever been! When she was about 10 months old I was freaking miserable, not just from juggling two kids, working 2 days a week, but also because I hated myself. I did not feel sexy for my husband at all! My husband and I decided to try the Insanity workout, which was so scary! It was the hardest thing ever, but for the first time I followed a meal plan and stuck to it for 60 days. I lost about 20 lbs now recently I decided to try it again and I use myfitnesspal on m phone to log my calories. I lost another 20! I am also a type 1 diabetic, which always made weight loss really freaking hard for me, but this time I've been able to do it. Yea I made some changes, but small changes with big pay offs. I just wanted to tell you I know how you feel because I was there, no time, no sleep, its awful. I'd like to show you before and after pictures if you would be interested. I just want to encourage you to find something you enjoy doing and stick to it. I feel like my entire life I have been trying to lose weight and getting no where, this is literally the first time I have ever been able to. I've learned so much through the process and about myself, I believe anyone can do it if I was able to! Insanity is just what we did because I was inpatient and wanted results FAST! There are so many other workouts that are fun and great. I could go on and on just because I was in your place last year. Now I am here and I know it can be done. I am not going to lie I am a beachbody coach, only recently did I decide to do this because I want to share with people my success, my struggles, I am not like everyone else, I had to scratch and fight to get to where I am now. So if you had any questions about anything, please contact me, honestly, I am here to help! you should just check out my before and after pics on my site, just to see me, i'm 29, two kids, ages 4 and 2. i was 190 and am now 155. www.beachbodycoach.com/ashleypino no pressure at all, just use it as motivation!!

Me me me! I'm definitely struggling with losing this weight! I had my daughter 8 months ago.. I gained 42 lbs and within the first 2 weeks lost 32 of it.. Now I'm still struggling with the last 10 lbs PLUS some extras. I am breastfeeding and everyone keeps telling me my body will hold on to the fat for milk production but seriously NOTHING seems to help.. Not to mention that I'm always hungry and want sugar! BLEHHH! I need to get back on my workout kick because I have been so exhausted.

WOW!!!! Where do i start??!! I have 2 children...a 6 years old daughter and a 6 month old son. I was 120 before having my daughter....after her i was stuck at 140 and climbing. Over 5 years i could not rid stubborn fat. So my 2nd pregnancy just added to fat that was already stuck there. My 2nd pregnancy i got up to 190 while pregnant...with my son being 6 months i have lost 30lbs. I am 163lbs and nothing i seem to do moves the scale. I think its more so my determination and my life style. I get frustrated very easily when i dont see any results, especially if ive been doing sooooo much and nothing changes. I was told things are much easier when you have a partner....so i joined SP and i guess i'll see how it goes from here.
Determined to be DETERMINED.......NO EXCUSES!

I gained 50 lbs while I was pregnant with my daughter. She's almost 7 months old now, and I just got back to pre-pregnancy weight. I had to meticulously count calories for the last 3-4 months, but once I did that, I started seeing a difference. I had started P90X at about 8 weeks post-partem, but I noticed that my weight stalled out. I don't think I was eating enough calories to make up the deficit, and my body was not happy. After that, I stopped working out (great, I know). I was back to work and I didn't really have the time, anyway. Breastfeeding was helping me burn an extra 500 calories/day, so that helped, but if I hadn't been tracking calories, I definitely would have been overeating. I started running again last week, and I feel great. Though I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight, I'd love to lose another 10-15lbs. I'm going to be sad when I stop BFing, though - I like that extra 500 calories/day!
If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?
What is right is not always easy, and what is easy is not always right.

My children are 2 and 3 I had them 11 months apart and gained 35 lbs with each. I am also a full time college student so it makes it hard for me to work out and go to school and work my job then come home and be a wife, mother, and house keeper. I am out of energy all the time yes I am struggling a little.

My son is 8 months old and I have been struggling with that last ten pounds. I was so confident with nursing I'd drop all my weight, but no such luck! I only gained about 30/35 pounds with him, and I'm glad to have lost what I lost, but it seems all my weight shifted to my butt and thighs. I'm trying to lose it before I have another/before he gets too old for me to plop in front of toys while I work out. I'd love a buddy if anyone is interested!

I agree I'm struggling too. I gained 40lbs with the baby and I still have them at the baby's first birthday. I seem to be stuck too. I'm trying not to stress about it but get at least 10mins a day exercise , all my water and good food choices. Whatever happens after that is icing lol :-)

Ladies I hear you! Man I haven't lost a pound since my baby was 1 week. I dropped 25 straight away and still have 10-15 to lose. It does make me want to give in and binge because what good has eating right and working out done. However I figure by keeping to a healthy diet I'll be in a better position to lose once I'm done nursing. I'm just frustrated with the lack of clothes to wear while still not fitting in all my pre-pregnancy clothes. Thank goodness maxi dresses are the style because I sure like flowing over form fitting right now!
Let your light shine!

You're body has gone through a lot of hormonal changes and is continuing to go through change - especially if breastfeeding. Hang in there and try to look at your workouts as a moment of time to yourself away from all the demands of being a new mother. The weight will come off eventually - just hang in there.

eugh I'm so with everyone that has the spare tire after having a baby! where does it come from?? two weeks after giving birth by some miracle I was only 3 pounds up from me pre pregnancy weight (I thank 20 weeks of morning sickness, pre eclampsia and a d + v virus a week after my c-section ..yes that was painful lol) anyway, I may now be BELOW my pre pregnancy weight, but omg my stomach! People keep commenting on how my face and chest look thinner, nooooo I need my stomach to go down lol I'll keep at the exercise and healthy eating..surely it has to go at some point...

My son just turned 1!!! I am actually a couple pounds below what I was before I got pregnant....but my body is definitely not the same. This time 2 years ago I would have been at the river in a bikini! Now I can't cover up enough stretch marks and wrinkled belly. It's a really self-esteem killer to not feel like yourself.
