Is it possible to lose 80 lbs in seven months. If anyone has been able to do this please let me know exactly how you did it. Just had a baby and hubby will be home in Jan. I want to look my best.

Post partum should be easier than otherwise. Are you breastfeeding? That will help alot.

Why not set a reasonable goal? If you are losing the healthy way with 1-2 pounds weekly. You can lose 5 to 10 pounds monthly. So start with saying you want to lose 40 lbs in 7 months. Strive for more but don't set yourself up for failure. I lost 10 lbs (water weight) my first month starting in May. It is now mid June and I've only lost 3 lbs with a changed diet and exercise 45 minutes 5 days a week. Weight takes time to lose. Slow and steady is healthier.

Hi Eliaswife..

I just had the a little baby and i was 132lbs during i was pregnant.. thats so awful and i was so bad looking ..I tried too many ways to lose weight but it didnt work for me . Right now my weight is 103.4 lbs I have lost in about 3 months for my first month is was 123 lbs and i was keep doing this . I never thought that i could lose weight so fast like this .. thats really incredibles. I have been using a shapeworks on the programme and it's so helpful for me and it makes me feel so great each day and its not has any effects with my body..

Best Luck,

I lost a lot of weight after my son's birth and I've always regretted it. I did it by eating very little and exercising a lot. I felt so rotten that I didn't enjoy his first year very much, and I'll never get that time back. Maybe you should shoot for 40 pounds instead of 80. That's a loss of about 1 1/3 pounds per week, which should be quite manageable.
