anyone else gain a lot of weight and now can't lose it!

CandKmomma · July 2009

I gained 60 pounds during pregnancy and still have 24 to lose. I thought I would have it off by now. I am depressed about it Sad

Yes I gained 60 and have lost about 30. I hate the way my body looks right

Oh, me! ::raises hand::

I gained about 45 lbs. and I still have 25 to lose. I've been working out since 7 weeks PP but haven't seen much change.

It's super-depressing especially since I refuse to wear my regular jeans b/c of this muffin top I've got so I'm still in mat.jeans.

Also, I BF so I can't really get crazy on the diet stuff.

We should start a club. Crying

Yep! I gained almost 50 and have lost about 32 of it. Once I lose this 18, then I would like to lose another 10-15. I have been working out and eating healthy and I'm losing about a pound a week. It's gonna take me another 3-4 months just to lose this weight at this point!! And I totally agree...so depressing Crying

I gained 50 lbs and have lost 36 lbs so far. The first 25 melted off but I have had to work hard to lose the weight after those first 25 lbs. I am eating super healthy and have been taking LO for walks at least 3 times a week. I am hoping to amp up my exercise once I get the ok from my Dr. at my 6-week check-up. I can't diet because I am BF'ing but if I don't keep losing the weight I think I will do WW again. I know it took 9 months to put on the 50 lbs so I am trying to be patient with it coming off but it is still depressing.

Gained 42, i've got 11 to go... I am starting an 8 week diet and work out plan 2morrow for 8 weeks! I'm SOOOO over these extra L B's.

dgurl26 · July 2009

Yep I gained 60 and have lost 30 and am stuck.

Lulu0802 · July 2009

I gained about 55lbs and still have about 25lbs to go. I absolutely hate how I look, but I feel like I can't really do anything about it because I'm BFing and I don't want my supply to tank. In the past the only way I ever really lost weight was to cut my calories a lot, which I can't really do right now. Oh well... I'll be skinny again one day.

Ashley Pharez · July 2009

Yep. I gained 40 lbs during pregnancy and then about 5 more lbs after. I've lost about 13 lbs in the past month working out and dieting but it is coming off so slowly.

Cosmogrrl · July 2009

I top you all!! I gained 70lbs Ick! and have lost 42... so that's 28 left to go to my pre-pregnancy weight, or 46lbs to my lowest weight (I achieved that 3 years ago on WW)... Oh how depressing...

But I no longer BF so I can now diet and work out like crazy - yippee. ::note the sarcasm::

Oooh I'm going to be brave and admit something I haven't really admitted to anyone besides DH. I gained 80 pounds during my pregnancy. Some of it was swelling from the pre-e but I seriously ate whatever I wanted when I went on bed rest. It was terrible and my own fault. So far I've lost 45 of it and am still going down, but sheesh it's depressing to blow past the 200 mark when you've been considered "petite" all of your life. I still have at least 35 to go and maybe more if I want to get my BP to ever go back down Sad

I am dreading doing family photos with DS for his 3 month pics b/c I hate for everyone to see how big I still am. And all pics that go on FB of me have to have my body cropped out. Very sad indeed.
