Once the weather is nicer, I will start taking daily walks. I am going to start calorie counting in MFP. I get a free gym membership through work, so I will go back to spinning once or twice a week after I go back to work.

I'm two weeks pp right now so to be honest, I've done nothing. I went on a 15 minute walk with my dh the other day when a friend stopped by to visit LO. I've lost 21 of 29 pounds and am bf'ing. So I'm not too worried about the actual numbers. Especially with the jumbo boobs. But everything is mushier. Gotta start with some kettle ball work outs as soon as I'm given the ok. I have my first pp check up in 4 days, we'll see!

I'm waiting for my 6 week check up before I start back at anything. Having had a c section I'm really not sure what/if I can do before that. So far the furthest I've walked is the bus stop one day to pick up ds. I stayed pretty active until about 6 wks before lo arrived and I'm really looking forward to getting back to hot yoga, pilates and running but I want to make sure I don't hurt myself getting back at it too quickly. I gained around 30 lbs and lost 20 within days. I'm not worried about the weight but I do want to feel fit again. I have been eating/craving more junk food now than I did the entire time I was pregnant so it'll be good to get active again because normally I eat better when I'm exercising too.
I'm only 10 days PP and still in a tonne of pain, so right now I'm gradually working on even getting on my feet more. I plan to get a Moby ASAP, at which point I'll at least be able to get a few things done around the house. My stitches start getting pretty sore whenever I do much, though, which is frustrating.
Eventually I'd like to get running, probably on the treadmill at first since it's a good ol' Nova Scotia winter. I have chronic pain (fibromyalgia), so I generally have to build up slowly, but I was able to run a few years ago (until I ripped my hamstring) and I loved it and really miss it. And I know that being in better shape and taking off a bit of weight will help my pain levels a lot. I also want to start eating healthier once I'm back in charge of meals. I miss salad! Salad was actually one of my pregnancy cravings, but it triggered my acid reflux so I didn't get to have all that much of it.

I'm only 2.5 weeks post c-section so I'm mainly working on stairs and walking longer distances. I've already lost 30 lbs and am back at my pre-pregnancy weight. I'd like to lose another 30lbs so I'm planning on daily walks and trips to the pool. I am also planning on going to yoga regularly again. Once the snow melts, we'll be biking and kayaking lots.
I've been running since 2 weeks postpartum. I start my body pump class back up March 1 and I'm currently lifting a few times a week and doing an ab challenge.

3 weeks PP. Dropped 20 lbs almost immediately, still have 10 more to go to be at pre-preggo weight. Before I got pregnant I was doing a lot of strength training and pretty much stopped all of that in the first trimester because I felt so awful. My arms have reverted to jello status and I'm ready to get rid of that. I'll probably really hit the gym and start back running after my 6 week PP appt. For now I'm just trying to eat mostly healthy, and go on walks if the weather is nice.

I just ordered P90X3 today and I plan on starting that as soon as it arrives. I'll be 6 weeks pp this Thursday. F/u appt is on Friday. I've gone on one run and two walks and did fine with those. I'm looking forward to working out again.

Once I'm cleared for exercise, I will be doing the Bikini Body Mommy Challenge. I saw fast results with it b last time I started it, so I'm going to see it through to the end this time. I will also be going back to running on my cardio days and I'm hoping to run a marathon in October.

I'm already -3 from prego preg weight but I lost 20#s in first tri so I have another 14 to go to get to my lowest then. I've lost 21 pounds from my prego weight so far. Plan on walking our neighborhood once my nethers heal up. It has 3 steep hills that get my heart pumping. Also want to do some leg lifts to tone my abdomen. DH and I have also discussed doing pilates. We'll see if we follow through with that
I'm down 20lbs at 6 weeks PP. Still have about 10-15 to go to be back pre-preg weight. I've gone back to my vinyasa yoga class twice, and done a cardio dance class a few times. Just ordered the "Insanity" workout by BeachBody, since I've had two friends on FB who were not athletic or in shape post their results in the last week from doing it, and they look great. DH is agreeing to do it with me. He definitely needs to do something, he's definitely gained a little too much lately.

I gained a lot at the end of my pregnancy, but I think it was mostly fluid because it came right back off. (I have lost 38 of the 50 pounds I gained at 3 weeks pp.) I would like to lose that 12 plus about 15 more, but really I just want everything to be toned again. Don't really plan on dieting per say because I am BF, but I am definitely going to work out. My hubby is getting us an elliptical that we can both use; he is trying to lose weight with me because he gained with me
I'm definitely not as concerned with the number on the scale as I am with my shape. I started working out 3 weeks ago (I'm 5 wks PP today). I've been switching up running and arc trainer with weights a couple days a week. I'm doing a verrry hilly 5k in a couple weeks so I'm excited to race again.
We started weight watchers. I like learning to pay attention to portions cause that's my biggest problem. I don't know how long I'll stick with it. But I do like that it's giving me a guide to start with. I'm not working out just doing my normal daily routine, so I don't expect to drop lots of weight.
I used to run a lot but stopped completely during my pregnancy. I want to get back to it, I'm just waiting for lo to get on a better sleeping schedule. I haven't weighed myself since before I delivered. I don't plan on it until my 6week pp appointment, I'm hoping to have lost most by then. These brownies aren't helping though
