[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3rd kid here. With my first kid I gained a ton. I didn’t lose weight until I weaned at 19 months and then had an illness and then took up running but the illness did a lot to help. And I ended up in a good place BMI was 21.  Second kid gained way less but never lost the baby weight at all and ended up with BMI 24.5.  I’m on #3 and I’m in my 40’s now. I really need a strategy.  I want to breast feed and while I did with two kids, I never had an over supply and struggled to keep up a bit.  I also know that my most successful time will be when I’m on maternity leave. For those who were successful with losing weight and breastfeeding, what did you do? I know the first step is not to gain too much weight and so far I’ve been doing ok. I’m walking and doing the Beachbody prenatal barre 2x per week. Another note - I can’t run anymore (post pregnancy) due to foot and hip injuries. Would love some advice because I feel like I’m on a trajectory to be overweight after this.

How old is your baby now?  Honestly, I would take it easy on yourself.  Give yourself time to heal and deal with 3 kids before trying to lose weight.  There is a time for everything and this isn't the time if your baby is a newborn.[/quote]

OP here - gained a ton = 67lbs
My 2nd baby is almost 6 years old :(
And BMI is probably a semi-decent measure for me.  I work out some, but I’m by no means muscular.

I’m still pregnant.  I’m just thinking I want to plan strategy now to maybe make freezer meals or meal plans etc.  I’m going to be having a c-section so I will focus on diet first.  I’ll have 4 months of leave so that will likely be my best time to do anything.  Between a pretty intense job and taking kids to activities etc, I highly doubt I’ll have a lot of time to do anything.  That’s why I’m here with a 5 year old and have never lost the baby weight.
