Question

Do you think 50 lbs by October is possible? I’m a nursing momma and I pack it on while nursing! Ugh!  

Answer 1

I’m sure it’s possible but I think very ambitious. Usually estimate 1-2 lbs a week. So on that matter might be closer to 12 months to get 50lbs off. I personally rather set small goals and be successful then to aim high and get disappointed.

@ape71 I hear you, I did keto last year and lost 30lbs in 5 weeks so I’m hoping that in 6 months it’s possible to lose 50

@wiener1710 I hope you can do it! I’m never that lucky.  

Answer 2

I've lost 40 since feb 2! So it's possible  

Answer 3

Last year I started WW Feb 1 and lost 51 lbs by September, but then I found out I’m pregnant so I’m not following for now. I definitely believe it’s possible!  

Answer 4

Definitely! I've lost almost 30lbs since Jan! I still honestly can't believe it, I thought it would take way longer than it has.  

Answer 5

I just started Monday and that’s my goal! WE CAN DO IT!  

Answer 6

I’ve been a WW member since February 2019. I’m sitting at an overall loss of 75 lbs. with 3. 6 lbs away from being at a health weight for a female of my age and height. I find a lot of success for my journey through my fitness and patience with myself. I think it’s great to have a goal, but not necessarily having a timeframe on that goal because it puts a lot of stress on yourself.  

Answer 7

Yes, I lost 65lbs in 5 months.  

Answer 8

Yes but nursing moms should be losing weight. Usually thats how it works. Since the little demons are draining you. It all depends what you are eating

@desireedesiri exactly - I eat sweets and crap while nursing and being so hungry. Bad choices  This is my 8th nursing year and every time

@wiener1710 i hear ya. Lol.  

Answer 9

Personally I would concentrate on nutrition not weight loss while nursing. After weaning is plenty soon enough to restart your weight loss goals.  

Answer 10

I wouldn't give myself a time span. You can set yourself up for disappointment. Everyone's journey is unique.

@bausch39 I agree to an extent but I think it's also helpful to set small goals along the way. For example my goal is to lose at least 5 per month. And my big goal is to lose 100 in a year which will be June of this year. I'm 10 pounds away!. Plus the sense of accomplishment you feel even when you succeeded a small goal is priceless.  

Answer 11

Yes! I don't do WW. I track my calories using MyFitnessPal and I exercise 30 minutes everyday. I've lost 90 since last June. No matter what plan you follow do it religiously! You got this!  

Answer 12

I have done that before and I was in my 40's. It was a committment though and like @hanson I did my fitness pal and tried walking or biking for at least 1/2 hour every day. Be kind to yourself, I'm sure you are busy and not sleeping the best, it might be a bit slower but you will get there. Congratulations on your new baby
