5 weeks postpartum! I'm still almost 200 lbs but I feel great! I would like to lose another 35 lbs. I started exercising (even though I'm not supposed to yet) and it feels great!

[nicolekendell]

3 weeks postpartum and feeling great! 37 lbs down so far!

[nicolekendell]

Finally broke 200! Still have another 35 lbs to lose to get to my pre-pregnancy weight. But it's so nice to not see a 2 on that scale now! 3 more weeks until I can start working out again!

13 days postpartum after cesarean. Feeling pretty good!! Still 204 lbs but losing more and more each day

[nicolekendell]

8 days postpartum. Down about 30 lbs. Feeling great already!

[nicolekendell]

So here's me in labour and then 1 week postpartum. I didn't weight myself since I was 38 weeks, but just was 225 at 38 weeks, I went to 41 and a half weeks so I'm guessing I was at least 235 at that point. I am now down to my 214 in one week. Not bad! I've been eating pretty healthy so far and breastfeeding. Can't wait to watch it keep falling off!

Something to remember

40+1 today. UGH.

Well went for a 1am nst because I hadn't felt baby move for a while. All was good though :) On a negative note... I hate that because I'm overweight Drs assume I'm unhealthy. When filling out my paperwork the Dr didn't even ask if I had gestational diabetes (which I don't) she just implied it until I corrected her. I may be over weight but I am still healthier than 90% of people I know.

So true! I used to wish for the chance to have them, I need to remember that!

My current stretch mark situation. Along with what’s left of my henna. Very sad I got all these, but I will try my best to wear them with pride. After all I have pretty much been pregnant for a year straight, and been through hell.

Me currently. 

39 weeks pregnant, can’t wait to have this baby out! 

I have never been so excited and motivated to get into the best shape I can. Tumblr helped me last time so I hope it works the same for me again this time. 

Planning to go back to calorie counting and burning at least 500 calories a day. It may be unrealistic but I’m my first goal is to be 150 lbs by March 1st 2017. My boyfriend decided 5 months after I give birth is a good time for a family trip to Mexico, and I would love to not worry about the way I look while I am there. 

I haven’t weighed myself for about 2-3 weeks, at that point I was 222 lbs, I’m scared to know the number now but I am waiting until the day I go into labour to weight myself again. 

150 lbs by march might be a little unrealistic but I have a feeling the first 25 lbs or so will just fly off, and I am planning to exclusively breastfeed so that should help!

Wish me luck on my new journey, and if anyone knows some kind of mom fitness tags I would love to know what they are!
