Re: OK time to sign up for the Hot Mother's Day Mama's Challenge

i am in for 10 lb. Would like to be what i was at my wedidng in July of 2004. I am 2 lbs less than my pre preggo weight but i wasnt happy to be that weight when i got preggo so 2 lbs less is not really that great. I lost all the baby weight within weeks of giving birth but being back at work makes it hard. i am a stress eater.Chat Icon

Re: OK time to sign up for the Hot Mother's Day Mama's Challenge

I am in! I want to fit into my old clothes and maybe wear a bathing suit this summer. Since that begins sometime in May here, I need to get started.

I have 14 pounds to lose to get to pre-preggo weight, but I would ideally like to lose 20.

I started walking everyday- today we walked the hills of my SIL neighborhood.

I am planning on joining the Y in my area since they provide child care in your membership starting at 6 wks old.

ETA: I wish I could diet but I guess that is a no-no if you are BF. I thought you were supposed to lose weight from this!Chat Icon

Re: OK time to sign up for the Hot Mother's Day Mama's Challenge

I'm in!!
My goal is to lose 19 lbs by mother's day.
I want to get to one size below what I was pre-preggo.
I'm watching what I eat-- no particular diet
I currently work out 5 times a week. I do 35 min. of cardio on an eliptical.

Fine. I'll commit.

I've passed up all the other challenges for fear of failure. I cringe with guilt and self-disappointment everytime I see the check-ins and updates.

It's time to suck it up and join in. Chat Icon

My goal is 10lbs. I NEED to find a way to squeeze in exercise somewhere in my day - that's the biggest part of my challenge. Starving myself is the easy part Chat Icon but unfortunately it's not enough. I have plateaued and my metabolism needs a kick start badly.

I could have written this myself! Except, I NEED to lose 20 lbs. I'm turning 30 in May...as depressing as that is for me, if I do it 20 lbs lighter, maybe it won't be so bad!!!!

Monday!! I'm ready!!

I need some advice though. I would love to work out for 1/2 hr in the mornings. I get up at around 6:30am and Jake is up at around 7am-ish. So if I were to get up at 6am, I could fit it in. But here's my problem - if I set my alarm - Jake wakes up too!! Chat Icon

Any suggestions?

I'm going to lose 10 lbs!
I'm also going to join the gym. I stopped exercising and I have been so tired lately. I know it's because of the lack of exercise.

So far the vote is for solo but what I was thinking is that whoever wanted a buddy can FM me with their goal and I can pair people up who want to be and those who want to be solo can do it solo and just check in here.

How does that sound to everyone?

Re: OK time to sign up for the Hot Mother's Day Mama's Challenge

Can I tell you that I am so excited to start this, and I am so grateful that you started this whole challenge thing because it's probably the one thing that has motivated me to lose weight since I had the baby. I just wanted to thank you, Jen for coming up with the idea. I definitely give you some credit for my weight loss. You and Melissa (Melbernai). She was the one who told me about the "wendy" plan with WW, and it really, truly works.
I'm SO looking forward to my clothes all falling off of me!Chat Icon
I'm finally able to wear all my old, favorite clothes from before Ava, and while I still need to do a lot of work on my body, I am just so much happier with how I lookChat Icon
