regaining weight

mommabear530

So...yeah.... I had lost 27 pounds while breastfeeding. At about 4 weeks I stopped because of all sorts of issues. Anyways, at my 6 week OB visit I had regained 5 pounds. Went back today for my annual and gained ANOTHER 2! I know it's totally my own fault and I need to set down the Braum's brownie fudge sundae and move my butt, but it's still depressing. Just looking to commiserate.

I can commiserate some. I'm on a plateau. I've nearly starved myself, and my weight hasn't budged. I'm still BF'ing but my weight isn't coming off! I have nearly 70 pounds to lose!! I guess I need to become a vegan

I'm not gaining weight, but I'm sure not losing it... I don't have much left to go, but what's there is keeping my jeans from fitting! I go back to work next week and at least I'll have to work out then... I just don't have the gumption to go on my own. :

And yes, I just used 'gumption' in a working sentence. How do'ya like me now?

lol, love the "gumption". I go back to work next week too and I really don't know how I'm going to do it. I joked to DH that I could buy some spanx so I could at least fit in my clothes. It's seeming more and more daunting everyday, but at least i can go to the gym at lunch or something. Hopefully that will help.

Haha this is me. I have been at 112 for the last 6 weeks!! I was 88lbs before the preg and gained 60lbs. I was a size 00 and now I am a 3 and 5. I've never worn anything larger than a 1 (aside from 3s and 5s during the pregnancy), so this is definitely a new thing for me. My biggest problem is rebuilding my wardrobe, it's so complicated because I need pants and jeans since my thighs are larger.

I don't mind being 112 but I would like my deflated pouch to turn into a tummy. That thing is disgusting and gross. My biggest problem and adjustment is the pouch. My mom told me it can take up to a year to lose the pouch but um that includes Summer

I start work again next week and don't fit into anything other than a couple pairs of pants.  Only me to blame, have not seriously dieted or started exercising, just BF-in which has taken off 35 of the 50 I gained. Need to drop another 10 on top of that to really feel good naked again!!  Le sigh.  I guess I should lay off the caramel Twix.
