Pre Pregnancy I was 120 on a good day

Everyone asked how I did it;)

2025/9/24 Edited to

... Read morePregnancy can bring significant changes to your body, and managing weight before and after can be challenging. For many women, gaining weight during pregnancy is normal and necessary, but shedding extra pounds afterward is often a top priority. Walking is a gentle yet effective exercise that can fit easily into daily routines, helping to boost metabolism and improve overall well-being. In my experience, the only thing that truly helped me lose the weight I gained during pregnancy was consistent walking. Starting with just a mile a day, I gradually increased my distance to nearly three miles daily, which made a big difference over time. It's important to listen to your body and consult with healthcare professionals before embarking on any postpartum fitness plan. Weight loss journeys are deeply personal, and what works for one person might not work for another. Emphasizing self-love and body positivity is vital—remember that every body is beautiful, regardless of size or shape. Integrating simple habits like walking can improve both physical health and mental well-being. If you are navigating postpartum weight changes, consider starting with manageable physical activities like walking, combined with balanced nutrition and sufficient rest. Keep track of your progress, be patient, and celebrate small victories along the way. Support from communities and sharing your journey can provide motivation and encouragement as you work toward your goals.
