I am not even a big shopper normally but I felt so deprived because I hated pregnancy clothes and then having to buy a few staples in a larger size to start back to work initially was so painful! When I hit my pre-preg weight at 4 mo post-partum I went shopping (at Hot Mama if you know it?) and fell right into their trap. They gave DH a couple beers while they brought me clothes to the dressing room. It was so great to actually like what I looked like in clothes again! It was December so no bikinis (which I still wouldn't have been quite ready for), but still. It was awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-630203 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 10:10:15 +0000 sorrycharlie 630203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, I unfortunately can't afford to go crazy :( I dropped my weight before Christmas (3 months pp) but I'm just wearing my pre-pregnancy jeans, and living in open cardigans and tanks for nursing! I do have some Loft giftcards I got for Christmas '11 (didn't spend because I found out I was pregnant 2 weeks later!) and Christmas '12, so I'm going to buy some cute stuff this summer I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-630163 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:49:47 +0000 MsLipGloss 630163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Wait . . . whaaa? Sooo, you're basically limited to beef/pork/chicken and fruits and veggies? *jinkies*</p> <p>ETA: god I miss my Paiges . . . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-630155 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:46:24 +0000 MamaMoose 630155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: haha well I was only 18 lBs above pre preg when I delivered. And because of M's intolerances I can't eat dairy, soy, wheat, eggs, nuts or fish. So it's not tough to lose the weight in those circumstances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-630114 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:31:14 +0000 pastemoo 630114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: Yay!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-630097 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:25:22 +0000 keiki_mama 630097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been back at my prepreg weight for some time now but recently weaned and splurged on new bras! They are so comfortable!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-630094 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:24:56 +0000 NerdBee 630094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, you're an inspiration! I plan to test myself to a new wardrobe once I hit my target weight, which I hope to do by June! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-630086 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:20:25 +0000 MsLipGloss 630086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: What the what? Already below your pre-pg weight? Schaweeeeng battah! And yeah . . . I can attest (as can @PrincessBaby) that expensive jeans are quite the motivators! I recently visited my Paiges and told them how much I missed them and I promised we would be reunited soon . . . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-630082 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:18:04 +0000 MsLipGloss 630082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Woot woot! Go on wichya bad selfs! Enjoy it!</p> <p>I am not there yet, but I have a new goal and am ready to go. And you bettah believe there will be some serious shopping on the other side! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-630075 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:15:29 +0000 littlek 630075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not 100% to my pre pregnancy weight but I have treated myself to new clothes and shoes. I've also been buying a lot of cute workout gear so I will be more enticed to work out.</p> <p>Congratulations at getting to your pre pregnancy weight!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-629943 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 08:22:56 +0000 pastemoo 629943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't reach that weight till my son turned 9 months old!<br /> And I still haven't gone shopping. I bought a pair of cheap jeans because I was down to 3 pairs of pants total.... time to go shopping I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-629909 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 08:05:31 +0000 buffalove 629909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations, I'm so impressed that you lost the weight so quickly! I just lost the last 10lbs at 7 months PP, and I've gone completely buck wild in the last few weeks! I justified it by telling myself that I haven't had new clothes in 2 years :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-629875 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 07:35:43 +0000 PrincessBaby 629875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I've been doing it for about 2 months and I've managed to not cheat too much...My splurges are wine (if I can't have sugar or grains, then they will have to pry my wine out of my cold dead hand- it's my only vice!) and I still need sweetener in my coffee so I use stevia. I was 147 when I started, and now I'm 131...My wedding weight was around 128, but if I don't get there, that's okay! I am happy where things are, but I'm scared to stop paleo. I know I can gradually add stuff back in, but I'm too lazy to try? I used to feel bloated ALL the time, and I never feel bloated on paleo. So that's another reason...The main thing I love is that I'm really never hungry...It's not painful losing weight bc I'm not suffering. Do I want a cupcake sometimes? Omg, yes!!!! Or some fro yo from Yogurtland? Definitely! But I'm too scared, hahaha:). Let me know if you start it again! I will cheer you on!!! </p> <p>@chopsuey119: Haha, that was another one of my justifications- I won't be spending money on a handbag anytime soon so I can put the $ toward other stuff:). I hope you get to go buck wild by June!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-629853 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 07:24:45 +0000 hilsy85 629853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope not yet...I'm at pp weight, but don't feel like I look the same...also, I'm a SAHM now, so it doesn't really make much sense for me to have an awesome wardrobe now! Will definitely be buying some new things for the summer though, since I was pregnant last summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-629821 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:59:33 +0000 chopsuey 629821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow good for you! At 2.5 months I've still got a lot to go, but the goal is to be at my wedding weight by June!<br /> I'm totally gonna go buck wild. :D<br /> New clothes, underwear, shoes, maybe a purse: haha. Jk on the purse. Will do purse shopping once I ditch my diaper bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-629770 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:10:07 +0000 LulaBee 629770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on buying new clothes, at 7 months PP I still have 10 lbs to go- you mamas are some good inspiration!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-629675 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:35:49 +0000 Boogs 629675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never lost all my pre-pre weight. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-629657 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:23:45 +0000 HLK208 629657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: how has the diet been going? I did the 30 day challenge and lost about 9 pounds. I've been off for awhile and gained 3 lbs so I'm going to start it up again. Actually, you're motivating ME to get back on it haha so thank you! Good for you for sticking to it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-629612 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 23:56:16 +0000 PrincessBaby 629612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Good idea! My jean collection (True religion) was an investment and I definitely thought about them when I read posts on here about how the body doesn't go back the same. I thought about how much money would be wasted if I couldn't wear them and it was a motivator! I think I have 6 pairs @ $150-$250 each....Yikes!!!! I HAD to get back into them!!!</p> <p>@HLK208: 15? Girl, you are super hot! I don't think you need to lose any! Oh and the weight loss is bc of the paleo! It's CRAZY! I'm like 3 lbs away from my wedding weight! You gave me the advice to do it and let me tell you- it has changed my life!!! Thank you!!!!</p> <p>@Ree723: Haha! Thank you:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-629563 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 23:28:15 +0000 Ree723 629563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No - I've had my pre-preg body back for a while now (flat tummy and all) but we're NTNP so I can't really see the point of buying new clothes when we're hoping to get pregnant again in the next few months. Maybe once I'm done having kids, I'll go on a big spending spree, but until then, I'll hold off on treating myself!</p> <p>ETA: Duh, congrats on getting your body back! Sorry I forgot to mention that in the original post - definitely an accomplishment to be proud of! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-629561 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 23:27:19 +0000 sunny 629561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good job! I totally plan to treat myself to something pretty when I get back to my pre-preg weight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-629552 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 23:18:02 +0000 HLK208 629552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I drop 15 - I'm getting my hair colored and cut. I've bought a lot for myself recently and it's because when I shop, see trends that I like, I know that I need to slim down to fit into what I like comfortably. I feel like it keeps me from eating junk. It's a dangerous way to diet, lol.</p> <p>@PrincessBaby: way to go!!! That's like, Jessica Alba fast for losing weight after having a baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-629478 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 22:16:05 +0000 mrsjyw 629478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Def planning on it!!!

I'm 10 lbs lighter than PP at 3 months, and nothing fits!<br /> I bought a cute tee today, but didn't have time to get anything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-628339 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 11:10:58 +0000 mrskc 628339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's awesome you've reached your goal! I've got a little bit more to lose, but I think I'll treat myself to something. I'm already thinking I need to go buy some new undies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-628333 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 11:06:53 +0000 littlecasita1122 628333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a couple of new bras recently since I finally lost the last 5 pounds and my chest shrunk a little. It's amazing as to how much a difference there is compared to how I looked in nursing bras. It's an instant confident boost! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-628244 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 10:13:33 +0000 mamabolt 628244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to! I'm 10 lbs under my pre-preg weight and my clothes are falling off but it's so hard to find time to shop! I finally bought a pair of jeans that fit a few weeks ago but I need some work clothes too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-628234 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 10:08:27 +0000 autumnlove 628234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-treat-yourself-when-you-hit-your-pp-weight-loss-goal#post-628210 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 09:55:25 +0000 bpcmarj 628210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Although I have lost all the weight and then some, I have some toning to do. I can't afford to go crazy, but I will FOR SURE buy a new bathing suit this year. </p>
