Weight Loss after Pregnancy

Hello Ladies.. so i have not posted in a year or so but here is the scoop. I have had a healty baby girl 5 months ago.  only gained 25 lbs thru the whole pregnancy. Didnt hardly show at all. Pre pregnancy i was 155 now i am 193 and can not loose anyweight. I am trying everything and i dont want to be big. I worked to hard to get to a size 6-8 and now i am stuck at an 14.. what is going on with me. Is there any advice i can get. I know my body has gone thru major changes and i did have a miscarriage last feb. and then got pregnant again in april but shouldnt i be all evened out by now? Any advice... 

After my last son was born I got down to just 8lbs above pre-pregnancy weight and within the next 1.5 years I ganed an additional 12 pounds to put me 20lbs over pre-pregnancy weight.  I too was around 155 before I got pregnant!  I finally decided to do something about he excess weight and started by increasing my water ALOT (always had it with me and was drinking it)!  I started cutting back on my coffee and caffiene free diet soda until I elimanted it completely!  I cut back on my sweets and fattening foods and then started adding in more protein (having shakes for breakfast and after workouts and having a low carb protein bar here and there).  I also watched my portion sizes and then really started hard at working out! 

So if you havent, start increasing your water, make protein your priority, watch your portion sizes and find some form of exercise and you should start to loose weight!  There is also a 5 day pouch test you can google and try!  Also, making a food journal would help you keep track of what your actually eating and where you need to improve your diet!  Good luck!

I understand. I was down 120 lbs from my heaviest when I got pregnant (still 80 from goal, but down alot) then I got pregnant, gained about 40 lbs during pregnancy. I now weigh more than I did at 9 months pregnant, by about 10 lbs! My baby just turned 1! I am freaking out thinking I can not let myself get back to the weight I once was at. It's too scary. I wish I had some better motivating words, but if I did, I wouldn't be in the same boat. Just wanted you to know you weren't alone. Good luck to you and I hope you can figure out how to get motivated and if you find out, let me know.

I just did the 5 Day Pouch Test and finished it last night.  It's fantastic!  I lost 9 lbs in those 5 days.  It's a great way to tighten up your pouch and get your mind back into the healthy eating game.  For more deets... www.5daypouchtest.com

Good luck!
