    Bye-Bye Post Partum Baby Fat!!!

    I've been trying to be good nutrition-wise the past couple of weeks but I still falter. So, I figured I'd better go ahead and start my new journal so I'd have someone to be accountable to cause let's face it, Gracie just doesn't care what mommy eats

    Haven't figured out a way to get to the gym yet, she's still too young to put in the nursery. I've thought of a few exercises I can do at home and I can always take Gracie for a walk in the neighborhood. Now that my parents live in the same neighborhood, we can visit mawmaw and granddad

    I can't bare to post my current weight or stats yet. Just know that before I got pregnant I was between a size 10 and 12. After gaining 45lbs, I'm now between a size 14 and 16

    I WILL be in shape once again... someday

    I had this exact same problem!

    Congratulations Ann, she is truly beautiful!

    I agree with Jenny, long walks are the best thing for you right now. When did you have her? Take it easy doing anything else. I started back to my regular routine too quickly and PAID for it big-time. Started bleeding again, and had a lot of pain in that area as well, because of it. (sorry tmi ) Take it easy on yourself and enjoy this wonderful time with your daughter.

    Hi Ann, you have such a beautiful family. Your daughter is precious....

    First of all, know this, you are a beautiful mom. No matter how you feel, how big you think you are or unahappy about the clothes size, you are a beautiful woman because you have brought into the world a gift for all of us in this world to enjoy. You have already made a difference by bringing in someone special into this world....
    Second, heck you had a baby, you can do anything, you will lose that unwanted post partum baby fat.....

    Just the fact that you are working on losing it so soon guarantees your success. Be patient and be careful, and slowly reincorporate workouts. I am glad to see you back here, and trust me your weight gain is nothing compared to some women's pregnancy weight gain! You will be fitting back into your old clothes in no time! Best of luck!
    I can do it

    I WILL be a size 5.

    Hello Ann, the pictures you posted of your baby girl and your boys are amazing! they truly capture the essence of the moment. And those children all got their beauty and energy from their mom!!! You will do this, just dont rush yourself. Make sure to enjoy this time you have with gracie, and little bit by little bit, through small changes in your diet, you will be eating healthy in no time! good luck, but please, take it easy on yourself!!!!

    Hi Ann - Just wanted to tell you not to be too hard on yourself. You and Gracie are both beautiful and I know you'll get your weight back where you feel your best in no time. (And seriously - you look very pregnant in the photo right before she was born but NOT fat.)
