Default New mommy that needs to get in shape

Hi! My name is Meredith and I have a six week old baby girl named Kate. I am feeling great and able to exercise again and I need to shed some pounds. I am nursing, so I have to be careful and not cut too many calories or carbs. I need to eat a balanced diet with a lot of water and exercise a lot of these muscles that weren't used while I was pregnant. I gained 40 pounds while pregnant and was 25 over my ideal weight to begin with. I am down 25 since having Kate so I have 35-40 to lose.

I am 24 and live with my boyfriend of 8 years. We both quit smoking when we found out I was pregnant and I know that plays a big part in both his and my weight gain. I know once I start losing, Shaun will as well.

Hope to find someone that wants to help keep me accountable.

Meredith

Hello and congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby girl. What happens when some people stop smoking is they trade one behavior for another. But no matter what, do not start smoking agian, please!! Try eating on a smaller plate, try eating only when hungry and stop when full. Drink diet drinks instead of snacking out of boredom. another thing work on one behavior change at a time, try not to take on too much at one time. Good Luck and God Bless.
