Tiny fat loss clues I notice in postpartum mamas losing the baby weight:

Her rings and shoes fit looser before the scale moves 👉 because fat loss often shows up in fluid shifts before it shows up in pounds.

She wakes up without feeling puffy in her face or fingers 👉 because her body isn't holding onto excess water from inflammation or blood sugar swings.

Her period (if it's back) gets more regular, 👉 because her hormones are finally getting enough signal from stable blood sugar and adequate minerals.

She's not bloated by 4pm anymore 👉 because her cortisol isn't spiking mid-afternoon and dragging digestion down with it.

Her skin looks clearer 👉 because lower inflammation is often the first sign that metabolism is healing.

Waking up hungry 👉 cortisol's no longer suppressing her appetite a sign blood sugar and metabolism are working regularly again.

Deeper sleep 👉 lower cortisol and steadier blood sugar overnight.

I'm down ~30lbs so far since having my third baby and these are the things I'm NOT doing to lose the baby weight.

1️⃣ I'm not doing high intensity workouts to torch calories. I made this mistake after my first baby. With the season that I'm in, I know my body wouldn't be able to recover properly. It would end up adding more stress to my system.

👉 Instead I'm walking everyday and doing short strength sessions 3-5x a week.

2️⃣ I'm not waiting for life to get less busy in order to prioritize my own health/goals.

👉 Taking messy action now and accepting that most days I'll have a baby crawling on me during my push ups🥰.

3️⃣ I'm not drastically cutting my calories to get to my goal faster.

👉 I'm starting in a small calorie deficit and allowing myself to slowly lose the weight in a sustainable way.

4️⃣ I'm not waking up before my kids to work out.

👉 I'd rather get the extra hour of sleep and recovery than have a quiet workout. 5am workouts just ain't it for me right now!

5️⃣ Giving myself a cut off date for reaching my goal weight.

👉 I told myself 6 months, but I'm sure as heck gonna keep going if it will take me longer! Definitely treating this like a marathon and not a sprint.

DAY 26 OF POSTING ABOUT MY POSTPARTUM WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY UNTIL 10K MOMS FIND MY PAGE

I just did a Costco haul and I'm sharing all my postpartum weight loss staples!

Canned chicken and hard boiled eggs - I love using this to make chicken salad and having a fast protein on hand when I don't have time to cook.

Ground turkey and ground beef - love these simple staples and I cook and rotate them with different veggies every time. Super easy to have a wide variety of meals and flavors with these

Greek yogurt - I eat this daily whether for breakfast or a snack

Aloha bars - super clean high fiber and protein bar, delish snack option

Spindrift - love this as a clean sparkling water option especially when I'm in a calorie deficit and want something other than water

Make sure you're following along to catch my whole pp weight loss journey ❤️. I'm sharing it all from lab work to workouts to weigh ins!

I’m 35. Unsexy truth. As a postnatal trainer averaging about 1 lb of weight loss a week, I can tell you: you don’t need GLP-1s to lose the baby weight.

When I was pregnant with my second baby, my OB told me that if I was concerned about weight loss postpartum, she would prescribe me a GLP-1.

I was kind of surprised but also kind of not because weight loss drugs seem like they're everywhere these days.

Like everything, GLP-1s have their place.

But for mamas with no history of obesity or known metabolic disease, I can't help but think we've become the target of a giant marketing scheme.

I started my weight loss journey a little over three weeks ago.

I did not change my workout regimen (strength training from home for 20 minutes 3-5x a week and 30 minute daily walks).

The only thing I did change was my nutrition - lowering my maintenance intake about 250 to 300 calories.

A modest calorie deficit, that's it.

And in three weeks? I'm down 4.1 pounds.

I share this as a reminder that the old-school-way of just being really consistent still works.

Comment "START" if you're ready to do this too. ❤️
