Thread: Weight Loss Check In

So how's everyone doing on the weight loss front? Are you doing great and still trucking along or are you needing some extra motivation?


I've been hanging around 141-143 pretty much all month long (was 136 pre-pregnancy). I'm thinking that this is just what I'm going to stay at while BFing. I can fit one pair of pre-pregnancy jeans that I was aiming to fit into. I'm starting to run out of motivation to keep walking. For awhile there I was doing great with averaging 3 miles a day about 4 days a week. It's starting to get really hot really early, so soon I'll have to get up and walk first thing in the morning with the sunrise so I don't fry me or DS. Not sure if I'll get many days of walking in then cause I hate mornings! Overall though, I am happy with where my body is at considering what pregnancy put it though!

I am way under pre pregnancy weight, last weight check was 149 pounds, I was 178 pre preg. I still feel really fat and the flabby belly doesn't help, but it is hard to find time to exercise and I am concerned about doing crunches because of the c section and my doctor was n ot helpful on when I could start doing crunches etc again. I need new jeans, but I ahte jeans shopping so am oputting it off, though I have a pair in storage that might fit again.

Wendy, I haven't done crunches either! I'm assuming by now we could without issue. I have a stomach that I've never had before. Maybe doing some of those exercise inside would be helpful. But I don't know what to do other than crunches. Never been into that sort of thing!

I am at 143...been stuck here...It is so hard. I have ZERO motivation to work out...I am plain tired...And BFing did not help me loose! LOL! I wish it did...
I want to get to 135...but would REALLY love to see 130!!!! Sigh...

I'm in such a rut I had been using the scale in the changeroom at the gym and I thought I was down to about 135, which is 10lbs less from my 6w pp appt and 10lbs off from my pre-preggo weight... so I was pretty excited, but then it broke and so one of the personal trainer's set me up w their speciality scale and it turns out I weigh 142lbs... which means I'm only down THREE pounds from my 6w pp appt and still 18lbs from pre-pregger weight... which TOTALLY bummed me out... I feel like what I've been doing has been a complete waste

I've been stuck at 155 forever, yuck! I was 143 before Luke and 133 before Lily. I'm hating these extra 10 lbs right now, plus my flabby tummy. But, I think now that I've stopped bf I can finally start to lose more weight again. I don't think I will eat nearly as much, so that will be good, and maybe I will find some motivation to exercise. Idk who keeps saying that bf helps you lose weight, but it never helped me. I think that's a story they tell you to get you to bf (not that there aren't other good reasons to bf, but ykwim).

i have been stuck at 180 since feb i was 165 pp and i would like to be at 140. For the most part i am ok with how i look, but i have a huge @ss that i would like smaller lol. i gain all my weight in the waist/hips/thigh area so i need to buy bigger pants. the weather is p!ssing me off because it will be sunny for one day and then rainy or cold and it is not consistant so i can't really go for walks. we have a treadmill that is sitting in the basement but i can't find the time to use it unless i want to do it when lucas is in bed for the night (ya right!) sigh...if it goes on too much longer i guess i will have to i want to fit into my old clothes! or at least the pants

I just started on my journey two weeks ago. I have so much more to lose than all of you! I have 60lbs total to lose, and so far have lost about 11lbs (as of last week's weigh-in). I need to weigh myself this week and see how I have done. I have been eating very well and exercising, so I know I will have improved as I can feel it in my clothes. Once I get on track, there's no stopping me, and I'm officially on track. Hoping to lose it all by Emma's first birthday, but that would be short of a miracle. My more realistic goal is by Thanksgiving

You took the words right out of my mouth! Only I'm still at about 155.

I don't think I'll ever see 130 again to be honest...but I'll be happy once I get to 140, since all my jeans are an 8. That's where I splurge, I love a good pair of jeans, so if I can't get back into those I'm going to have to either buy some cheap pairs or spend a few hundred on a new denim wardrobe!

When my hubby was in the hospital the stress made me lose 5 pounds, so that was an unexpected blessing!

I doubt I will see 130 either...unless I can glue my mouth shut! I think I am honestly addicted to food!!!!!!!!!! I am never feeling like I have enough...throw some stress like a baby crying or finances or kids...and I am eating again! BAAAAAAAAAA!
I have one pair of awesome jeans....I want to fit and not have a muffin top!
