HOly cow! I just weighed myself for the first time in a few months... I had my baby 7 months ago and I am breastfeeding, eating well, taking walks and that is all and I've lost over 50 pounds already! No dieting or hard excercise. Did any of you moms have this kind of experience where you just lost it without much effort? Are you in better or worse shape since you had kids?

Congratulations on both you baby and the weight loss. ?You are doing so great. Walking is great for you no matter why you want to lose weight, I lost 80 pounds by walking. When the weather is bad I use my treadmill.

Way to go astromama! With my first baby I only gained 12 lbs, or at least this is what it showed on the hospital's scale (I had been sick with a bad cold and was actually loosing weight even though I was supposed to be gaining). My first born ended up being a 6 lbs 8 oz baby though. :P It wasn't hard at all to lose any access weight from my first pregnancy. With my second son I gained the average...about 27 lbs. It wasn't that hard to lose the access weight as I did what you did. However about 7 years after my second son was born I now weigh more than I did when I was full term with my first son. :P But that's what I get for eating more junk food nowadays. :P LOL Congratulations! :) So where is a picture of your baby? I was expecting to see one in this discussion. :P

Wow! I'm now more motivated! I have a 2 month old baby and am b/f as well. I noticed that I've lost almost all my pregnancy weight but I have to lose more because my pre-pregnancy weight was a little "over the top"! Looks like I have to start walking. Now, I'm not doing much because it's so tiring to attend to the little one with all the night feeds, etc.

That's absolutely fantastic my friend. It's been a while and I was curious how this new baby and you were doing. Good for you. It's all about living healthy to be healthy. I wish I could comment on my experience but I'm not quite equipped to do so. LOL ‹(°¿°)›
