losing the pregnancy weight

  • Hello!

    I just had my first baby three weeks ago. Now I need to lose some weight. I've already lost a fair amount due to water weight loss, but I was heavy before I got pregnant, so I could stand to lose some more. I am breastfeeding, so I don't plan to do any drastic reduction in calories. Right now, I'm limiting junk food and increasing fruits and vegetables. Exercise consists of walking (need to do more ), at least until after my postpartum check up in a few weeks.

    Anyway, nice to meet you all.
  • Hi Kitchen, welcome! And congrats on the new baby!! How exciting!! You sound like you have a good plan in place, and you'll find lots of support and encouragement here, so jump right in! Good luck!!
  • Wow, you're on the ball, I wish I had been as keen right after mine! Welcome and congratulations on your new little one, life will never be the same again... in a good way... well after you start getting some sleep that is, lol.
  • Hi and welcome!

    You're doing just fine! Don't ever underestimate the power of walking, especially if you're pushing a stroller!

    Make yourself at home. We're glad you're here.
