You are not alone! There are a lot of us out here that are trying to lose baby weight. Every Monday we post our weight. I could have written your post. My surgery was in 03, had a baby in 04, another in 07 and had never been near goal. My lowest was 184, my highest after gaining back was 240 and that was last February. Through exercise and counting calories I have lost 70.9 pounds of that weight and I love the way I am eating.

Maybe some accountablility will help you get back on track. I started out 30 minutes a day of walking and 1300-1500 a day in calories. In 100 days I lost almost 40 pounds. It really comes off fast at first and then the real work begins LOL.

Good luck to you, hope to see you posting on Monday.

 Ahh, so that's what the Monday weigh in is about. I'm going to remember this for next summer, so I can get back on track!

Thanks,
Valerie

Gosh just like Jennifer I could have wrote this post. Like she said we post on Mondays. We both track calories at dailyplate.com, but I been doing terrible so this week I am eating pretty much what Jennifer has been eating to see if this helps me.

I had open RNY Sept 9, 2004 at 404lbs. By November 2005 I lost 224 lbs and weighed 180, where I was happily a size 11 and maintained that until I got pregnant in July 07 gained 70 pounds landing me at 250 when I had her. 7 months later I had lost all but 5 pounds. Then in Nov 08 got pregnant again gained 73 lbs delivered at 259. Lost 27 lbs to date and DD is 10 weeks old today and I have weighed 232 for the past 3-4 weeks.This week I been doing great, so we will see what Monday brings. Good Luck, and its never to late to start over. Don't wait for tomorrow, believe me tomorrow never comes!

OMG, I can't believe you started that high.  You've done great woman!!! You are still down 170+ pounds and that is fricking  A M A Z I N G .  Please pat yourself on the back - that is crazy ridculous successful.  Baby is only 10 weeks, you are just back to work - oh, and you had not one, but 2 babies basically back to back!  You will get back into a routine and lose the rest.  Give your mind, body, and soul a chance to catch up.

When are you going to test? Me, very soon - doubt it for me, I think that I'm just being paranoid .

Blessings,

Thank you for writing, I needed to hear that. I've been told that by my doctor that I was 100% success in her eyes. I know I will get it off, I just am impatient sometimes. But thank you so much again, I sooooo needed that and that is what motivates me. I am testing Sunday but I doubt it...actually I just hope not.
