Getting in Shape

Newbie here.

Just wanted to introduce myself.  I'm Ashley and I'm having a beach wedding on May 15, 2010.  FI and I welcomed our first child, Jonah, into the world in March.  I had over 30 lbs of baby weight to lose and I've already lost 15 lbs in 2 months by working out at the gym and dieting.  I hope to offer some good advice and support for you ladies!GL with your weddings and weight loss!

  • Thank you so much! I'm on a 1200 calorie diet.  I also am trying to completely cut out sugar.  I also limit my carb intake to whole grains and all before 12 p.m.  I'm sharing a trainor at the gym with my best friend and we train together twice a week.  I'm in the gym at least 5 days a week doing 1 hour of cardio and 30 minutes of weight training.  It's definitely been HARD lol.  Are you doing weight watchers? I've heard great stuff about them.
  • Wow, that is awesome.. doing all that working out plus having a baby.. that is dedication. I am doing WW.. on my 3rd week this week.. in 2 week I lost 5lbs doing WW with very little working out.. I have to say after I posted I looked at your blog.. he is just too darn cute.. Did you end up getting induced? I love his dark eyes in the one pics I saw..

  • Welcome to the board! I have to say from your siggy pic that you look awesome and your baby is sweet! That sounds like a good workout/diet routine you have going on. Keep up the good work! I hope that after I have my first baby that I can do the same!
  • hwrd2be, Thanks...I'm unemployed right now trying to find a job so that leaves alot of extra time for the gym and I'm determined to look as good as I did pre baby for my wedding lol. Yes I did get induced at 39 weeks.  It went absolutely perfect.  I went in at 9 that night and Jonah was born at 11 a.m. the next morning with only 20 minutes of pushing! Couldn't have asked for an easier delivery! Keep at it!  5 lbs in 2 weeks just dieting is great!  I'm  not sure of your location but once the weather cools off here I plan on taking evening walks too!
