    Welcome!

    15lbs is definitely achievable with the correct calorie deficit and a smidge of will power in the mix... :)

    After my second child, I hovered around 135. I was also up several sizes. I felt fat and unnattractive, and had my mom saying, basically, that this was what I had to look forward to, same as her.

    It wasn’t til thirty years and many pounds later that I realized 135 wasn’t bad at all, and berated myself for letting go.

    I sincerely wish I had had someone say,”girl, your body changes after a couple pregnancies, you’re doing just fine”. Maybe I wouldn’t have ballooned up.

    So, sweetie, your body changes after pregnancy, and with time. Don’t beat yourself up.

    Think of it as improvement you deserve, not punishment you must endure.
