Anyone can join, at anytime! The more the merrier
Just choose a group (A, B or C) depending on your weight loss goals, and join that thread. Good luck!If I remember rightly A is 1-29 lb, B is 30-49 lb and C is 50+ lb
Buckeye fan - please take care of yourself!! You are considered post-partum for AT LEAST 6 weeks (esp. after a c-section) go easy on yourself, and when your ready to really go for it we'll still be here
. You need your energy to heal, especially with those broken nights (and 3 kids to look after). I remember being so hungry those first few weeks... I hope this comes across in the friendly manner in which it is intended (even though I'm a Michigan fan

I thought I would have to wait to start focusing on fitness too but when I went to my ONE WEEK check-up the doctor told me it was ok to start exercising again. I was blown away! (I also laughed a little bit, like yeah I'll get right on that kind of laugh) I've been taking it really slow. Mostly trying to get my energy level back up a little, walking, cleaning (definetly a work out with three kids!) Just getting out and about again is energizing. Right now I'm just focusing on feeling good again and making healthier food choices.
Thank you again though! I know it's going to take a while to get there but slow and steady wins the race right!
