Newbie. Mommy. Ready to make change happen!
 
Hey everyone. I'm new to this forum or any forum for that matter. I am a mother of the most amazing 1 year old daughter ever! I am 40 pounds heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight. I have always struggled with wt. loss but never like this. Since having my c-section 13 months ago, I just can't seem to lose this wt. It's frustrating, demoralizing, overwhelming...it just sucks!

My time is very limited and I don't have a sitter so I've used this as an excuse not to exercise and eat healthy. No more! Any tips on exercising with a 1 yr old supervising would be great. ;) Just looking to make some friends, give and receive support. Would love to find a wt. loss buddy.

Have a wonderful day!


Overall Goal: 50 lbs

CW: 185 lbs
GW: 135 lbs

Mini goal: 175 lbs

Welcome
 
Welcome and thanks for posting. If time is limited maybe you and the baby could do mommy/baby exercise tapes together or join a mommy and baby activity class..just something to get you moving and teaches the baby early about exercise and moving the body.

Again welcome and keep us updated

welcome! yes the mommy/baby classes/video workouts are a great idea. maybe you could also try to do some video workouts on your own during the baby's nap time, or try going out for a walk/jog togther using a baby jogger. sometimes this is a good way for them to get in an extra nap, or to be able to spend time outside (and you can use the shades/netting on them so the babies don't get too much sun and aren't bothered by bugs. good luck! :)

Thanks for the ideas. :) I have decided to start walking with my daughter in her stroller. I live in the country and don't really have the finances atm to take classes but I think I'm going to invest in a couple of videos. I'm excited. :D My morning weight this morning was 183.6! that's a pound and a half lighter that I thought I was. What a way to start off! :)
