Weight loss

How is everyone doing with losing their baby weight??

I had gained 60lbs (yikes!!) and was down 35 at 10 weeks postpartum- only 25 more to go, I was hoping to be down 40 lbs by the time I go back to work (I think 5 pounds is doable, I go back a week from Monday)

I don't know know what I weigh right now but I am back down to a size 6 in pants and I can button them easily. My goal is to get back into my 4's and maybe even 2's again. I am probably about 10 lbs from there though and my tummy needs more toning. Good luck with going back to work. I started back on Tuesday and my days now seem non stop from the time I get up until bedtime.

I gained 34lbs during the pregnancy and so far I lost 37lbs. So I am minus 3lbs which sounds awesome, except I have no idea where I lost it because I still do not fit in my old pants. I can put them on but it feels tight. I also had to buy new tops because my old ones did not fit the girls (I am still bfing). So I guess I might be lighter but my shape is larger? I need to go back to the gym to work on that.

I am currently at 137 - so lost all the baby weight plus about 5lb. I am still about 10-15lbs from where I would like to be. I did buy a pair of size 6 pants the other week and they fit well, but I am mostly in size 8. I have not been below a size six since college so it would be nice to get more toned and back to a healthier weight, but I am not going to be super upset if I stay in a size 6.

I want to try to start working out but I need to find the time.

I gained 40 lbs during pregnancy. I haven't really been weighing myself but last month, at my PP appointment, I was down 30 lbs. All I really need to do is get rid of my muffin top. I've been keeping my size 8 pre-preggo jeans out as a motivator. My size 10 jeans are snug but fit. I go back to work in a month so hopefully all my dress clothes will fit by then.

I am 25lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight. I am working on toning my abs as I can almost fit into the pants I have not worn for 2 years. Just need to tone up.
