When??? Yes, I should be working out (duh) but with hubby's work schedule the only time I can go work out is around 10pm and who wants to go work out at that hour after a long hard day with LO, chores, errands etc? Not me!!
It feels like this weight has gotten comfortable and is here to stay. I still look pregnant and today, a friend of my mom's whom I haven't seen in almost 2 years didn't even recognize me (ouch).
Id like to lose some weight by summer so that I can have some pool time fun with LO.
Re: Midnight rant. When will this weight come off?
I gained almost 80 lbs this pregnancy. The frist 40 lbs fell off in the first 6 weeks, then I stalled out by 8 weeks. I joined WW and have lost 16 lbs in 8 weeks. I still have a ways to go to get to where I want to be, but all the exercise in the world won't help if you don't eat right.
And this. Remember, you have to burn off more than you take in to lose weight. As far as eating goes, lean meats/veggies are a good way to drop lbs and keep it off. Start omitting things like breads, butter, pasta and you should see some results
This, totally. I gained 50 and lost 20 pretty quick. I have had to work HARD for the last bit to come off. As of today I have lost 43. I do WW and it has been working. I also run 2 miles on my treadmill everyday, no excuses. I can run a 12 minute mile (which isn't great, but its something), and I do this once in the morning and in the evening because that's what time I have. My DH knows how important it is for me to get back into shape and he takes DS to let me do this. The running and diet are really working, I can see a definite change! GL!
I know exactly what you mean. I gained 30 pounds with my pregnancy and lost 16 pounds right after she was born in the hospital. I was diagnosed with postpartum depression and gained all the weight back. I gave up sweets for 40 days and did not lose any weight. I started walking but have not seen any results. I am trying to eat healthy so I can be a positive roll model for my baby. Good Luck to all of us.
Diet is far more important for losing weight than exercise. Exercise can actually be counterproductive to weight loss because it makes you hungrier (leading you to consume a lot more calories than you burned).
