Strugglin' - Whine/Vent - NBR

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Prior to getting pg with DD, I had lost about 100 lbs the good old fashioned way of diet and exercise.  For the first 7ish months, I was doing great with weight gain, just about 15 lbs, and then I ballooned like a giant whale.  I'm so Embarrassed to admit this, but I had gained a disgusting 80 lbs by the end, despite me swearing I would never be that person.

Well, fast forward to now.  I'm down 50 lbs.  Roughly 25 was baby/water that I lost in the first 2ish weeks, the rest has been since I came back to work when she was 8 weeks.  I've been working my butt off every day and trying to eat so healthy, but I've been at the same spot now for the last ... 4 weeks.  I am now getting super discouraged!  I think I need to up my cardio time, but I have NO idea when I'm going to fit extra time into my schedule!  BAH! Sad

    Yeah, I don't have a scale at home, but I seriously feel so disgusting and like I have even gained weight in the past couple month. I have no idea if I have or not and maybe it's just that everyone is wearing next to nothing right now and I'm sure as h*ll not joining that crowd yet, so I'm feeling extra huge and discouraged.

    No advice, just hang in there, we'll get there eventually.

    I'm right there with you. I still need to lose like 30 pounds. It's not pregnancy weight, but weight I'd gained before pregnancy and now the same numbers on the scale just look a whole lot worse. And like 3 years pre-pregnancy I had lost 60 pounds the old-fashioned way, too. But I put half of them back on after I moved in with DH. He's an awesome cook and we like to drink our beers. That combo is NOT good for weight loss/maintenance. It's so hard now and I don't know when I could get the cardio in. I used to walk with him, but it's so disgustingly hot (still in the 90s when I get home from work). I feel like I'm torturing him, walking him around in that oppressive heat and humidity. I'm not willing to give up 30 minutes of my already-very-limited time with Jaiden. So whatever. I stay fat. And I'm not happy with it, but I prefer it over losing time with my son. :-/
