I totally feel you AF weight gain pain. I BF and am on the pill, so I don't get my AF, but have definatly seen her results in the past. I am doing ok on WW....in 6 weeks I've lost 8 lbs...not great, but I haven't been doing all that great tracking. I am just happy I haven't gained yet.
Ugh, I HATE weighing in during that time of the month!! It's never good, and I just feel so bloated and fat anyway.
But overall, I have lost almost 21 lbs since the first of the year I have really slacked off lately, haven't been tracking anything...but even so, I still "know" what to eat for the most part, so I haven't gained anything and still lose some weeks. I didn't run at all last week, so need to make time this week.
I need to buckle down again, since I'd love to lose another 5-10 lbs before the summer. I was just enjoying being back in all my old clothes...one night this weekend after I got home from having a few drinks, I went in my closet and tried on all these dresses and pants I haven't worn in a few years - like going shopping, it was so fun that they all fit again

I love closet shopping - especially when I don't have the cash to front REAL shopping. LOL.
And super yay for your weight loss!! Holy cow. Makes me feel like a slacker. I'll just say I took the holidays off! Ha ha.

That is AWESOME stephanie!!!
I actually tried on my RD dress yesterday and it fit! It was still a little snug, so I wouldn't wear it out quite yet, but it zipped!! I am finally on a good streak after plateauing for almost a year and then gaining at the holidays. We're going to the beach in August with a bunch of Joey's college friends, and i refuse to be the "fat wife." So I still want to lose another 15-20 lbs before then.

Weigh in did not go well for me on Saturday but that was to be expected. My mom was here for a week a half and I hate a bunch of good tasting but bad for you food. Plus it was Ava's birthday so I had lots of yummy Publix cake. But I am back on it now. So sad to lose my breastfeeding points. This week is going to be rough!!!
Way to go w/ the 21 pounds since the first of the year! That is AWESOME!
Aw, thanks y'all Hmmm, I would post pictures, but I have no idea how to do that. And, I guess I need to get a recent one snapped
Lauren took some pics of my boys last fall (got one of my favorite pictures ever of them together!), and I happened to end up in one...I was SO.FAT, that was definitely motivation to join Weight Watchers.
Plus, I just booked a vacation with one of my skinniest friends, so that's definitely renewed my motivation to keep going
Wow Stephanie, that is awesome!!! I am super frustrated-I can't lose any weight. I know it's because I'm BF'ing and I just don't lose any weight until I quit, but it's very discouraging. I want my body back
The scale is finally starting to move again. I'm down 8 lbs since the beginning of the year and am 4 lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight. My goal is to lose another 15-20 so I'm a size 6 (am a 10 now)
On a pissy note, I went to the doctor's yesterday and I had a skinny old nurse tell me that "I was NOT thin" and whatever I was eating was not working for my body. I've had to completely redo my diet to account for all the injuries that I suffered during childbirth. So far this year, I have cut out all dairy, all carbonated drinks, coffee. Then this nurse told me that I need to cut out salads, all dark green vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers strawberries. She recommended that I go no-carb...WTF.
Needless to say, I left the office in tears!! Now I have no idea what I should be eating.

That old b!tch should be out of a job. Pronto. WTH are you supposed to eat? I'd call and report her.

WTF does she want you to eat? Who tells someone not to eat dark green vegetables???
Random, but actually, my girlfriend was recovering from a blood clot in her lung and they told her no leafy/dark green veggies. Something to do with the iron and clotting.

Yep, she told me this because I have a blood disorder and actually have a problem with my blood clotting. I'm a bleeder. I've always been told to avoid aspirin and this is the first I've heard about avoiding the dark green veggies.
I really want to go to a dietician that will design food menus for me based on my chemical make-up..No idea how to find someone and how much that would cost $$..but this is now at the top of my list if I hit the lottery.
Kathleen, that's crazy!! I'd be super frustrated, too, and not have a clue what I should be eating. In your situation, I bet a nutritionist could really help you figure out what would be best for your health...sorry, girl!
