I'll never look like I did Pre-Pregnancy :-(

I have a picture of dh and I the week I found out I was pregnant (we were on a cruise). I looked really good and I can't get it out of my head. Why can't I lose these last 10-15pounds? UGH! It's driving me crazy!

I'm just so unhappy with my body right now, it's ridiculous. As soon as we get our tax refund, we are joining a gym and I am going to dedicate at least 3 days out of the week to go. They have a daycare there, so dh going won't be a big deal (he can go with ds during the day). I work full-time, so the only time I can go is one night (right from work) out of the week and then on Sat. & Sun. with ds. I can't wait!

    I always have such trouble with these posts because I need to lose not 10-15 lbs, but 70.  I understand not being happy with yourself...believe me.  I wish you the best in your workouts, I really do but I am sure you already look fantastic.

    I've been unhappy with my pp body too but not unhappy enough to actually do anything about it.  We actually have a home gym in our basement with a treadmill.  You'd think I could make it downstairs.

    Haha, tell me about it!  Our new place has a 24 hour fitness center that's actually pretty nice.  Have I been there yet?  NO.  My weight issue is one part genetics, two parts laziness, one part diet.

    You'll do great!  I find that starting is the hardest part.  But once you start and see results, it is motivation to keep going.  Good luck!!

    don't take this the wrong way, but is it possible that you might have a thyroid condition?  I knew that I had one starting at the end of my pregnancy and it just never corrected itself.  I couldn't shake 15-20 lbs...until I REALLY focused on eating better (less carbs, more protein) and exercising more.  Joining a gym DEFINITELY helped.

    If you haven't, have your thyroid levels checked.  It might at least give you a reason.

    oh, and fwiw, even though I weight less than I did pre-pg now...I still will NEVER look the same.  My hideously deformed stomach will NEVER see the light of day again!
