I joined this group and site when I was pregnant with my first child, a girl. She was born 7/14, emergency c-sec. Anyhow, I am back to work and feeling normal again so I'm back on this site too. I gained 45 pounds total with my pregnancy. I haven't really been concentrating on my diet and exercise. But somehow I've lost 20 pounds already (in 2 months!). Must be the stress, activity & sleep deprivation of a new baby!
I'm trying to kick it up a notch and get in gear to actively try to lose the remaining 25 pounds of baby weight. Any suggestions of low-impact (bad knees) exercises I can do that preferably I can include the baby in, one way or another?? I have started walking around the park at the end of the street a few times a week. But depending on the baby's temperament it may be anywhere from a half a mile to a mile and a half.
I know they have dvd workouts that include your infant! Why not try searching it out on Amazon?
So you can log your weight -- which allows you to do the following:
- Plot your weight curve
- Analyze the trend of your weight (see under Recent in the figure above)
- Determine the projected target date (see under Overall in the figure above)
