@marriedandlovingit: Really? I love knowing how much i've gained. Motivates me to lose once baby arrives. I guess everyone is different with their weight.
-
28 lbs at 37 weeks. I don't have an easy time losing weight at all, so I'm really hoping BF will help me lose it after baby.
-
@jennylynn: Oh that's a great weight gain. I wouldnt worry about it. ONly advice, is that when you stop breastfeeding be sure to watch was you eat because I kept eating the same and I gained back a 10 lbs I had lost.
-
Thanks! Good to know ahead of time! I know I need to re-evaluate my eating habits after baby. I've really slipped on healthy eating since becoming pregnant.
-
i gained 40lbs :X... so hard to lose the last 10!
-
@blushink: For me, ignorance is bliss
-
@aunt pol: Good to know I'm not alone! I'm not *trying* to lose weight, and the baby is doing/growing fine. I figure as long as the baby is healthy the weight will come on where and when it needs to.
-
@blushink: I did! I lost all but 5 lbs in the first month just from the breastfeeding, and I had zero appetite the whole first month. I slowly lost the last 5 over the next year or so. I'm really really hoping I can keep my weight gain to about the same and lose it exactly the same way as last time.... and then getting to MILF status after that
-
At my last 34 week appointment I had gained a total of 33.6lbs. I'm happy and healthy so I'm not worried!
-
@mrs. wagon: I'm with you on the MILF status. ha!
-
@blushink: let's do it!!! I decided that for every 5 lbs I lose post-baby, I'll treat myself to something nice. Right now it's yoga clothing from lululemon-- SO pretty, and motivation to work out to be able to wear it! At first I thought wait, that's so expensive... but hey, if it gets really expensive, that's a GOOD thing because then I'll have lost 20 lbs!
-
@mrs. wagon: I think rewarding ourselves with "material" stuff is PERFECT!!!!
Hopefully if I keep gaining the way I am right now, I'll leave the hospital thinner then when I got pregnant. But I've been working on getting back to my highschool weight. 160 lbs. So thats 30 lbs more to lose. yikes!I told myself a shopping spree would be the end prize, seeing my current clothes would no longer fit.
-
@blushink: I agree, it's a perfect motivation tool!! Your progress during your pregnancy is definitely inspiring... keep it up, mama! And post baby we'll definitely have to lose it together! I don't see myself getting back to high school weight (135) but getting to college weight (150) would be perfect. So our goals are pretty similar! Let's do it!!
-
@mrs. wagon: I'm so with you!!!!! I need motivation. A buddy because otherwise I slack off!
Actually now that you say it, my highschool weight was about 140 and college 160. ha. so we are right there together. I would LOVE to get down to 150, but I don't want to discourage myself.
-
@blushink: haha cool! So we ARE really similar... yay!
I went all the way down to 145 with weight watchers a year after my wedding, but I know I'm older and after 2 kids it'll be a lot tougher this time around. So 150 would be fantastic for me... but at the same time I want to stay realistic. I think an initial goal of 160 would be ideal, and then getting those last 10 pounds off will definitely be a challenge but SO worth it. Plus this time I hope to do it with exercise, not just eating right-- when I lost the weight with weight watchers, my clothes looked so much better but I was still really flabby and very much not happy with my body even after losing 25 pounds!
I have a friend who is training to be a yoga and crossfit instructor, and she's been doing prenatal yoga sessions with me for her training, and it's been awesome. We were doing crossfit before I got pregnant, and I really surprised myself by being able to do things like box jumps. So I'm excited for that!
-
@mrs. wagon: How awesome. Ya, I've done ZERO WORKOUT. unless running after a toddler is considered cardio
-
@blushink: hehe of course it is!!!
Yes I am also a zero workout kind of girl... my friend the aspiring yoga teacher has been amazing. It's really motivating since I know it helps her reach her goal, and she is so gentle and patient with me.
