Trying to lose weight, lets see motivation pictures

[melmos75]

All you ladies look great. I also had a baby at the end of Feb. (the 28th) I gained 20 lbs while pg with him. I have lost that 20 plus an additional 25. I have a long ways to go though as I was "fluffy" before I got pg anyway. I account all of my weight loss so far to breastfeeding. Now that I am done with that - I really have to watch my calorie intake but I love food way too much!!

Well, here's me before:

and me down 20 lbs at the beginning of July

I still have another 40 to go but I've been holding stationary at -20, i guess that's better than gaining right?

We do clean eating (which is no refined sugar and no man-made stuff) but I've been getting off track with that (and feeling like garbage) and I don't have a workout partner

Traci are you doing the clean eating by Tosca Reno? I'm doing that one... I've lost 8 lbs in 3 weeks just by cutting out crap! Woot!

 

[Shawna Clingerman]

YAY! I love seeing everyones great progress

I'm super proud of what I've done so far this year - I always told myself after I had my last baby that I would really buckle down and loose that baby weight finally!

So 2 months postpartum after baby number 4, I joined Weight Watchers online, and I also started the Couch to 5 K running program. And I've lost almost 30 pounds in a little over 4 months.

Basically what I'm doing is eating better and eating WAY LESS, and I'm exercising ABOUT 3 times a week (jogging/walking for 30 mins)

I'm now pretty much at my goal weight (although we'll just see what happens... now that I've stopped nursing my body is settling some and I'm not sure what size the non-preggers, non-postpartum, non-nursing me is supposed to be!)

and YES there are tags on my shirt, I took this picture yesterday to show my internet wife La the great clearance top I got at target

I put on 25 pounds while breastfeeding, what the heck happened to breastfeeding helping?

I've ALWAYS been the same way, it is soooo frustrating! Most people are melting away the pounds into breast milk, and I like pack it on!

[scrappychic]

These pics are amazing! Love the transformations. I'm too lazy to diet, but I walk ~2 mi during lunch at work. I'm going to do those mineral body wraps in a couple of weeks. Anything to get me back on a scale (except diet!).

same here. 4 babies in a row the pregnancy weight came off by the time the baby was a month old, but I gained 10 pounds (with each one!) while breastfeeding......:cursing:
