Hello! First post here. I'm a mommy to a 5 month and gained too much weight while pregnant. I thought i could eat whatever I wanted and now I am paying for it. A month prior to finding out I was pregnant my Dr told me I had cholesterol. So since I had the clearance from my doctor to start to work out (c-section) I have been non-stop minus two weeks of working out. My goal is to lose 15 pounds by the end of the summer. Not sure if it's possible since I'm only losing 2 pounds per month :(. Have any suggestions what I can do that helps burn calories faster :) ?
Congrats on your new baby! I also gained too much weight with my babies, they are 4 and 5. Any weight loss is loss. I know that it's frustrating when it's so slow. Maybe take measurements, you could be losing inches faster than pounds. Idk. Welcome to Chub 33! - Mrs.mouse420.6 #307 5-24-12 7:53PMLike Reply
Thank you. I was losing one pound per week! I just took my measurements, thank you for the encouraging words! I notice your near Modesto! I live in Manteca, we are neighbors!! - adventurerEnDisneylandia {AED} 278.6 #740 5-25-12 2:25AM
I live about 30 min from Modesto in Newman, no one ever knows where that is, so I say I live in Modesto. :) I just moved here about 2 months ago. - Mrs.mouse 420.6 #307 5-25-12 4:41AM
Welcome! Here's how I see it- it took 9 months to gain the weight so it'll take at least that long to take it off. 😉 Calorie counting and going on long walks has always helped me lose weight. Hope that helps! Good luck in your weight loss journey. - PirateQueenBriezy291.4 #660 5-24-12 8:41PMLike Reply

I have never been a athletic person do it's a thrill to know I can actually do this!.. Good luck in whatever you choose to do! - Twinklelashes 144.4 #2376 5-26-12 8:42AM
Just hang in there! The best losses are 1-2lbs per week! Keep that up and you will be fine! - Curlygirl943.6 #15707 5-25-12 10:51AMLike Reply
Thank you very much! I went one whole month with no weight lost and then suddenly lost 2 pounds. It's a lot of commitment! But well worth it. - adventurerEnDisneylandia {AED} 278.6 #740 5-25-12 12:36PM
