It's not coming off!!!

I got pregnant 8 months post-op (OOPS!), JUST as I had hit goal. Gained WAY too much while pregnant. Still have at least 20 to go and it won't budge.

Anyone else have a hell of a time getting the baby weight off??

And as much as my hubby and I want to start trying for another - I'm scared to get pregnant again for the weight gain!!

Sorry for the ramble/vent - I guess I'm just hoping someone has been in my shoes and is back down (weight wise) where they should be...anyone???

I finally got to my pre-baby #1 weight just recently.  She turns 4 in June.

I get it.  It's hard.  Some of us aren't lucky to lose it with the birth of our kiddos.  And it sucks.


In my life, I had my life turn pretty much upside down and I kinda stopped eating.  That's how I lost my last 10lbs to my pre-pregnancy weight.  Please note how I said to "goal" cause I never quite made it -- but you get my point.

Good luck to you -- hope you don't lose yours like I lost mine!

Sorry for whatever turned your life upside down, Andrea, but WTG on getting back to your weight, no matter how long it took!

Thanks - it's just good to hear that I'm not alone, ya know?

My baby girl is almost 16 months old and I am still 5lbs away from my pre-preg weight and about 13lbs from my goal/lowest.  It sucks.  I am really hard on myself because of it.  I have comes to terms with the fact that I need to start working out hardcore in order to get it off, but it just isn't that easy with a little one.  My DH works evenings, I work days, so we are pretty much single parents.  Good luck, I hope that it comes off soon for you.

329 (pre-op) 167 (4-22-10) 150 (lowest and goal Summer 07)

Hi! ... I didn't gain very much with my pregnancy, and I don't have a lot left to lose.  But I am just as concerned as anyone else about getting fit, & into my clothes again.  You're not alone, and no matter how big or small the number on the scale is, its hard on us all.   I just had my baby and I'm eager to see how good or bad I'll do with my weight.

Good Luck! Take Care!
