30-Somethings - New mommy to 3FC

Hi my name is Angela. I am 31 and just had my second baby 7 weeks ago. I have never lost weight before. I have always gained a few pounds at a time and thought, thats not too bad. My first pregnancy I gained 40 pounds and only lost 20. This time I gained 33 pounds and have already lost 35 pounds. So with my body in the mood to lose weight I thought I would come here for some support. Cause I know there will be days when the scale won't be so kind and I wiil need you girls. This site seems great and so supportive.

Hi Babybelly!! :welcome2: Congrats on your new baby! Come join us on the "week of..." thread!

Wow! You lost all that already! Are you breastfeeding? That'd explain it!

Hey there, Welcome.

Welcome to the board!! Congrat's on the new baby, my youngest baby is starting kindergarten in the fall and my oldest will be a sophomore in High School. I look forward to getting to know you better!!

Congrats!

I am a new mommy too. My 2cd was born a few weeks ago.

I have lost 27 lbs in the past 3 weeks. I want to keep it going.

I did an elmosize tape with my toddler today.

I want to get out and walk outside with my sports stroller but I haven't had the "motivation". The hardest step is out of the front door...

Congrats and welcome.

I actually lost weight during my pregnancy and lost some more after breastfeeding. I just couldn't let go of the extra 500 calories a day that I was consuming while breastfeeding after I stopped. I went from about 170(which was still too heavy, but smaller than I was when i got pregnant 190) to 204. That was my heaviest. While I was still pregnant I weighed a little more, but actually lost weight after birth or c-section in my case. My problem was that I liked to eat too much and was eating all the wrong things after I stopped breastfeeding. Portion control and eating more wholesome foods has been the a big part of my success.

You came to the right place. The ladies here are super supportive. I have been here almost a year. It will be a year in November and it will be a year in October since I changed my life.

Take care and good luck.
