I'm shooting for a specific size. Size 12. After I had my baby I gained a lot of weight and was up to almost an18. In squarely in a 14 now and have about 15-20 pounds to go to be at my personal goal weight.
I'm kind of a combination of both. My daughter is 6mos old now and I'm still about 13lbs over pre-pg weight, and am 2 sizes bigger than my pre-pg jeans. I'm working toward getting back where I was but I'm not stressing over it.
I still have a belly and bought 2 new bikinis this year (in my current size). I figure if my post-baby body offends people they can damn well leave.
10lbs. I'm 15lbs down from where I was in November. I am about right where I was before I got pregnant but I was 10lbs overweight when I got pregnant My weight doesn't seem to be budging now. I'm glad the weather is warming up so I can get out and move more. I think I am going to start running again.
20 lbs, but I would be happy with 10 if they are in the right places! I just want my clothes to fit better. Here is my confession, I do not own a a scale!
I also need to get my ass back to the gym or for winter to go away so I can go back to walking.

Ugh I'm so freaking far! I'm actually at a standstill because anything I do affects my supply. I have no specific plans to wean at this point in time. I'm hoping once we transition to whole milk that I can add in exercise and a really good clean eating plan without it affecting my supply. I really want to try Whole30. Doing Whole30 would be great for me and H.
But I would guess I'm at least 30-40 lbs from my ultimate goal weight. I don't have a specific number in mind, I'm more so interested in how my body looks. I want to look lean, strong and defined. I do know around what weight though that I begin to show my ideal body type.

I didn't lose a pound until I weaned and that took 2 years. Actually once I started solids I lost a few. In the meantime I just made my peace with it.
Thank you! This is where I'm at. I am looking forward to moving more come spring and summer by going out for walks but I won't start anything specific until I know it won't affect my supply or he self-weans. I should probably unfollow all of the fitness IG pages for now. Lol! I think I'm ok with holding on to weight for now and then I see someone's transformation and I get annoyed again.

This is exactly why I'm not stressing about it this time. Last time I started working out at 3mos PP and it killed my supply. This time I'm just letting it come off on its own.

To far - I'd like to start by losing 50 pounds to get to a weight from when I was in my early 20s. I however have no motivation or drive to do it, but hate my body right now. Must find motivation!
I don't have a goal weight, more of a goal size. I'm a solid size 10 right now, and really want to get back down to a size 8. I've been working out really hard for the last 6 months, but I really need to change my diet, and I just don't want to, lol... Today is my 4th day without drinking any soda. I typically drink 2-3 cokes per day. But I know this will help my belly flatten out, I'm constantly bloated from the soda
3 from my goal (I've been at this since January) and 10 from my ideal/perfect.
I'm at a standstill now. I'm definitely a lot more fit and toned but the scale isn't budging. I actually changed around my calories again and hoping that helps this week. My kids have been sick and while I haven't fallen off the healthy food train completely this past week, it could be better. But it's been okay. I've been on burnout for calorie counting anyways. This week it's back on though! I also think my current exhausted state and age aren't on my side lately either post kids. It's so up and down even a year later.

I am 90-100 pounds away from a "normal" BMI. I struggle with binge eating disorder, and my ED has been SO bad lately, and my depression has been awful. I am seeing my doctor next week to see about changing up my happy pills to try to get somewhere with all that.
I am actually going to an information night for weight loss surgery at the end of May and am thinking about pursuing that in 2016. I am going to be 40 next year, and I would like to be able to be at a healthy weight before my weight leads to health problems.

I don't have a set weight or size, but I think I want to lose about another 35lbs. I've started strength training though, which I love. So even if I just see muscle gains from that, I'm happy with the scale not decreasing.
@aqualove - I weaned in June when KJ was 11 1/2 months. I was not able to lose any weight until after that. I just started getting really serious about it in December. Just relax and work on feeding your baby for now
I would like to lose another 15 pounds which would put me to a size 6-8. Most of my 30 pound weight loss was due to diet change so now I need to focus on working out.
Oh gosh, a lot to go. I was down 30 but I've gained like 5 this week. I'm the worst stress/emotional eater! Plus I'm so PMSy. I don't know what I want to get to because I've never really been there. I've always always struggled with my weight. TTTC is not helping. I'm hoping for another 30.
I'm about 10 lbs away from my goal weight - but ultimately I'm aiming for a size. Grad school has been the biggest contributor to my weight gain. I'm trying not to beat myself up too much. I had to pull out my next bigger size of dress pants recently though.
