Hi all- I have two boys - my first son just turned 2 - I was 158 when I got pregnant with him and tried my hardest to stay under 200 - I delivered at 196. Luckily, I was able to lose all that pregnancy weight before I got pregnant again with my second. My starting and delivery weights were about the same. My second baby boy( 9lb 15 oz) just turned 7 months old.

This go around has been a struggle to get the weight off. Having 2 babies changes everything - the are usually never asleep at the same time. You never have time for yourself and talk about exhausted. So for the first 5 months I did not exercise much - I did cardio in blocks of 10 minutes throughout the day. I read somewhere on the internet that 10 minutes 3 times a day has the same benefits as 30 minutes once per day. I didn't breast feed so I was able to cut my calories to 1200 a day. My son is finally sleeping throught the night - so my husband and I have incorporated some weight training - this happens around 10:00pm.

As of this morning, I weigh 156 - so I am actually a little below my pre-pregnancy weight!!! Now on to the the goal of 135.
