5 months pp & wanting to lose 40-50 lbs!

Anyone else in the same boat as me? I'm 5 months postpartum today and want to lose 40-50 lbs!! I just signed up for Noom and was going to try that (at least the free trial period). I am basically starting at square one because I was out of shape but was getting more of a fitness routine down pre-pregnancy, but I felt my best during pregnancy... Any other app or workout suggestions are welcome! ALSO, if anyone is interested in holding each other accountable, especially if we have the same goal, then that would be even better!! (Pic of me prior to pregnancy... around July 2022).

Hi Kim!!! 'd love to join you! I've already lost 30 pounds and I'm aiming for 40 more. Let's do this together!"

I LOVE the Whitney Simmons “Alive” app! It has a postpartum 8 week challenge and I loved and now I’m onto all her other workouts and it’s been a great app, has a journaling section, a place to track progress with pics, at home or in the gym guided workouts and they are so fun! It’s mostly weight lifting things though if you like that then it’s the best!

- I'll message you!!

I’m 4 months pp and also on Noom! I’m trying to lose 40 lbs as well!

I did this girl on instas 4 week challenge. She has one going on right now for new years but she has like other ones every couple months and you could win some money if you have the best results. It’s $100 but you get work out plans and meal plans if you don’t know anything. The challenge I did I ended up losing 14lbs in 4 weeks and kept going for another month and lost 25lbs total, stopped going so hard for like 3 months but was consistent in the gym and then in oct using the same info she gave me I pushed myself to do it again and lost 10lbs. Her name is jordanke on instagram and she had a baby and she’s pregnant now so super relatable. When you join she has a fb group for all the people in the challenge and it helps to keep everyone motivated. Personally was worth it for me. $100 to lose weight is nothing. Also I had two kids and gained 60lbs for both pregnancies so I felt really low as I’ve been fit before the pregnancies. Now I’m lower than my pre baby weight

- I just started a free trial of Noom!

Weight training, weight training, weight training!! Couldn’t shout how great it is for weight loss enough. I’ve loved using the SWEAT app. Great work outs and a wide variety of programs to choose from for only $20 a month. I find it to be helpful to have a program to follow and the app make it easy to do just that.

I’m trying to lose 40lbs I gained in 2023. I’m actively watching my nutrition a lot more and I’m at the gym consistently 4x a week ♥️

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Spicy chat

Anyone up for a spicy chat, I’m horny

Friends

I’ve been on this app for almost 5 years now I still can’t find one friend. I just need a friend. I’m so fucking lonely.

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

Any moms in the DMV area?

Hey! 💕 I want to start a group chat or something so we can all connect.
