Postpartem weight loss

Hi there.

I’m Catharine. 33 years old. I gained 75 lb with my first son, born three years ago, then lost 65 of it. Got pregnant again, gained 75 again! So. Here we are again.

I felt sad for a while because I felt like all my work before was for nothing, but my husband reminded me that if I had not lost before, I’d have been 150 lb up! So I guess there’s that.

Anyone else trying to lose weight after pregnancy? Any mamas looking to cheer each other on? Let’s be friends!

Right now my biggest struggle is the stress of a 3 year old, with a 2 month old I’m exclusively breastfeeding. Mr. Rogers is my friend. Chocolate is my downfall when everyone is screaming.

And of course hormones. There are those.

What has your experience been with gaining/losing around pregnancy?

I'm exclusively breastfeeding too. My baby is 8 months old (I have 3 other kids as well). I started keto on 6/10/19

Hey mommas! I’m 5+ months postpartum but haven’t been able to loose anymore baby weight after the first 25# came off fast. I started off at my heaviest and then gained 45#. I feel like I just have my wits about me now though to get back to my normal weight, but it’ll be a long journey. I have 60# weight loss goal!
