its been 2 1/2 weeks since delivery

And I'm down 25 pounds. Was 240. Now I'm 215. I'm 5'8 and would like to be 140 lbs. Hoping during my maternity to lose another 15 lbs!!!


Do you guys know any programs that work? I struggle with my weight and I know the basics eat healthy excercise... but need pointers.

Zumba! I lost 20 lbs in 2 1/2 months.

I was almost the same weight as you! I was 243 lbs day of birth and 207lbs 2 weeks later. I have been stuck at 185-187 for like 6 months now because of my eating habits  

I am 5'4, was 208 before my first, worked out and ate right and got stuck at 190. I went to Jenny Craig....expensive, but if you do it and stick with it it does work, I lost another 20lbs in 3 months.

Got pregnant and went from 170 to 250   3 days after delivery I was 210.

If you cant do Jenny, look up weight watchers. Jenny was good for me cause I was working, so I just ate what they gave me, no thinking required.

Start with changes, no sugar in your coffee/tea, no sodas, instead of chips have pretzels...and put them in a bowl instead of eating right out of the bag

Ill look into it. When I go back to work ill br working 40 hours per weel.. I'm not a soda fan so that's easy. My biggest fail is not eating breakfast then just eating what's fast which is always unhealthy foods. Don't have time to make lunch or have food to do so I end up ordering fast food

this is exactly me at work!! thats what I LOVED about Jenny, and I totally learned portion control too.

Look into it, like I said it is expensive, but I know they do cool things like lose 20lbs for $20...if I ever did it again I would go that way. Once you down 20lbs you'l have the tools to do more on your own.

Good luck!
