DAY 15 OF POSTING ABOUT MY POSTPARTUM WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY UNTIL 10K MOMS FIND MY PAGE

Two weeks ago I started posting about my postpartum weight loss journey.

My why behind sharing this is to encourage other mamas in their thirties that they can achieve confidence again in a healthy sustainable way.

No crash dieting.
No crazy exercise routine.
No weight loss meds.

Just consistency.

Today marks day 15 and I'm officially down 2.7 pounds and 1.5 inches between my waist and bust!

Slow progress = sustainable progress and I'm really happy with these results so far.

I'm in a ~250 calorie deficit, walking daily for 30 minutes, 20 minute strength training sessions 3-4x a week, and getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night.

Make sure you're following along to see my progress.

DAY 8 OF POSTING ABOUT MY POSTPARTUM WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY UNTIL 10K MOMS FIND MY PAGE

I had my labs drawn again this week: my second full panel at six months postpartum.

I test everything: iron, metabolic markers, lipids, blood sugar, thyroid, and more, because I want to know what's actually happening inside my body, not just how I feel. I'm comparing these results to my three-month labs to make sure my markers are moving in the right direction.

Avoiding postnatal depletion is a huge priority for me after dealing with it for nearly two years following my first baby.

Got my results back this morning, and almost everything has improved!

Blood sugar markers are better, cholesterol has improved, thyroid markers are better, and my vitamin D is up, all after three months of targeted supplements and nutrition changes based on what my labs showed back in late April.

Now that I'm intentionally losing weight, this matters even more. I don't want to lose weight at the expense of my energy, hormones, or overall health.

I want to lose fat while keeping my body well-fed, supported, and strong.

Healthy weight loss that doesn't leave you an exhausted mama? Chef's kiss. 😘

Stay tuned, I'll be sharing more of my journey right here, every day.

Posting my regular postpartum body after 6 months just in case you need a break from the GLP-1 ads and the mamas that seem to shrink overnight.

I'm six months postpartum and just starting my weight loss journey. I took this video 3 weeks ago so I remember what my starting place looked like.

I've been intentional about healing since having my third baby. I didn't want to rush into a diet.

GLP-1s can be a useful tool for people with known metabolic conditions. But after having them offered to me (while I was STILL pregnant with my second), I don't think postpartum moms should be the target. 🎯

There's a vulnerable first-time mom out there who might think it's her only option, and that makes me sad.

I got into the best shape and health of my adult life after my second baby at 34, with no medications, and that's possible for you too.

This is how I do it:

A very slow calorie deficit (= sustainable + maintainable fat loss)

Full functional lab panels throughout.

Movement that supports fat loss without stressing my nervous system.

You don't need a shortcut, mama. You need a plan that actually works with your body.

If you want me in your corner during this process, comment READY and I'll DM you. ❤️
