Possibly flameful ?

Mrs.G123 · December 2013

Dd is napping on me so humor my multiple posts, lol.

Possibly flameful: a year + out, how close are you to the post partum weight and/or fitness level you desire? That photo the Norwegian woman posted made me think of this.

AMT1107 · December 2013

I was overweight when I got pregnant 223 pounds, I gained 13 with DS. So 246 at the end of my pregnancy.

Now I am down to 178, so I lost weight, but being pregnant helped me lose weight, we were carb junkies, having gestational diabetes made me eat better. And I have continued to watch my sugar intake

Edit to add - I am super bored at work today and I welcome new posts

I'm so far from my post pregnancy weight it is scary! I lost all the baby weight after baby was born and then put on another 40 pounds in the last year, because I wasn't really taking care of myself with everything going on. Lots of eating out didn't help the cause either. I am going to make more of an effort in January, I don't want to start now because I know I will fail with all the delicious Christmas goodies.

Have you all seen that Norwegian woman??? She is a freak of nature lol.

lady dixneuf · December 2013

I am about 5 lbs up. But I gained about 65 so not bad!

I'd like to lose 10 but am realistically OK with where I am now.

OMG I am 20 lbs heavier than when I got married the first time but I was arguably too thin and working out like crazy.

I eat a lot of crap and could stand to do more exercise than just a ton of walking.

I've been too sleep deprived to do anything.

At the end of the day though, I just don't GAF

I had to google that woman. Who cares. I refuse to shame anyone's body, even a model. She is a model and is paid to look like that. I would look like that too (in theory) if I was paid for it, worked out, etc.

Wally3 · December 2013

I was down to my before first baby weight and very happy at that weight. I gain about 3-5lbs over the thanksgiving week. I hope to get that off by Christmas.

I'm 41 pounds below what I weighed when c was born.... 22 below pre preg. I am.definitely at my lowest adult weight. Unfortunately, its all from stress so its not a.healthy weight or a.good fitness level.

hilsy85 · December 2013

Probably at or maybe a bit below pp weight--haven't weight myself since my last gyn appt in Feb. But definitely no where near as fit--my hips are mushier and my boobs are still bigger!

scrumpfy · December 2013

Before getting ku again, I was about 15 lbs up from my pre preg weight. I gained 30 with my last. So far with this one I'm up 9. I plan on doing weight watchers ASAP after having her. I felt so uncomfortable and bad about myself last year, I know I need to make a better effort to lose the weight this time.

I'm sorry. Unfortunately divorce was the best diet I ever went on. I probably lost about 30 lbs then too.

Thanks Dix! Sometimes it feels a little better just to hear someone's been in the same boat.

wesleycrusher · December 2013

I started my pregnancy about 20 lbs heavier than what I want to be at. Now I weigh the same as before I was pregnant, but feel heavier...the way the weight carries now is different and I am definitely flabbier.

So I would like to lose weight, but this past year with my mom so sick it has been hard to get into a routine. Now that I'm home I'm going to be working on it!

Oh girl, I could not keep food down for like 6 months!

pinitbaby · December 2013

I'm a big girl. Always have been, probably always will be..until I have time to focus on myself that is. I was 16 when I had my first, I was naïve and put on a whopping 85lbs. It wasn't the next 2 pregnancies that gained me the weight, I actually stayed the same weight throughout. It was the time in between pregnancies that I gained the weight. My 3 older childrens father was abusive and food was my bestie. Even after leaving him almost 4 years ago I still have issues. 15 years ago I started out at 155lbs..I am now 290. I walk every day, I eat a lot of fruit. Had my thyroid checked, blood work done..blah blah blah..but my doctor says if I generally FEEL ok then I shouldn't worry. Of course I would love to loose even 50lbs but it won't happen overnight and I've come to terms with that. I focus on the positives, especially for my oldest daughter who is 12. I have a boyfriend who cares about me and my beautiful autistic son who cuddles me every night saying he would never want another mommy, EVER

my kids are my world, no amount of money, opinion or freak of nature chick can tell me anything to change who I am. Kudos to you ladies who are proud of yourselves

navyandviolet · December 2013

I am 4 pounds away from my pre preg weight with ds. 11 away from pre preg weight with DD and 21 away from my wedding day weight. Fitness wise I am so very far away. I would't be able to run from zombies at this point. The good news is that once the zombies catch me I'd be a very out of shape zombie, so I would not be responsible for adding to the zombie population.

annabelle8101 · December 2013

I'm 5 pounds below my pre-preg wt and 5 pounds above my lowest post partum weight. I am pretty happy with the situation.

Rachelilly23 · December 2013

I'm about 13 lbs up from my pre-pregnancy weight. But I lost 8 lbs in the first trimester and then gained 55 lbs. So I still have lost 34-35 lbs of the weight. I was working pretty hard until about a month ago when I ran the half marathon. But honestly I've only worked out once since then. DH has been out to sea for almost 3 weeks and I just don't have the energy for it, physical and emotional. I have a feeling I'm going to gain weight like crazy once he actually deploys...

Meh, whatever. I'm still 61 lbs down from my highest weight the day before I had DS1.

Starry Again · December 2013

3 pounds below my weight at my six week appointment. However, I nearly cried when I saw how much I weighed then. I put on 15 pounds in the six months before I got pregnant - mainly due to stress eating (multiple major family dramas / losses).

If I can lose this original 15 I will be happy. I am 7 pounds from a "healthy" BMI.

CnAnA · December 2013

Oh lord. LOL I dropped 65 pounds in 2011. Put literally every single pound back on during the pregnancy. Shortly after she was born, I had dropped 40 of it. (I kept forgetting to eat, and when I did, I couldn't eat very much at all.) But I evened out right about 30 pounds more than the day I found out I was pregnant. But frankly, I have no desire to do anything about it. I know I should care, but I really don't.

BabyCarryingVessel · December 2013

Do I "win" in the pregnancy weight gain department? I gained more than 70 pounds, lost 62 pounds immediately, but now I put on an additional 25 (damn). I have been on a terrible eating kick lately.

Mrs_Lady · December 2013

I lost all my weight plus more (80 pounds total) i didnt diet just walked everyday with LO and i guess i ate more healthy and ate dinner before 5pm and stopped doing take out

lady dixneuf · December 2013

Ok I thought about it and here's why that pic is absurd...

it's not what her body looks like.

It's just a totally unrealistic view of the immediate postpartum period.

I don't know about you guys but 4 days after I was wearing hospital mesh undies with depends. I barely showered, let alone had make up and time to do a selfie.

obvi she is rich, has a baby nurse, a stylist team, etc.

The idea she did this alone is totally illusory.

I agree and I think that is what the uproar is about. I still looked 6 mos pregnant or hell probably 8.

Yeah that was me too back then. Heck I still don't really bother putting make-up on unless I go somewhere.

Honestly I don't know what my weight is. I'm no model and I'm probably not at my prepregnancy weight but I'm happy with my body. The only thing I really want to do now is tone up my muscles a little bit.
