Want to lose 30-40 pounds.

My daughter is 17 months and I'm still not at the weight I want to be. I gained 100 pounds from this pregnancy due to fluid retention and I am back to the weight I was when I was 3 weeks pregnant so that's good, but I want to lose 30 more pounds to get back to the weight that I was before Covid started in 2020. The pandemic made me depressed and lazy which caused me to gain weight, it I'm sure a lot of people probably feel the same way.

    Amazing work so far, keep it up!!

    I am literally measuring my loss not just in pounds but by date.... I am back to "August 2020" and that felt really significant to me.

    I agree during Covid I gained back what I had lost and was not as active. Now it’s starting over this week and learning to read labels. I started seeing a doctor for weight loss and trying to follow their recommendations. Carbs is the hardest but the calories I’m doing great with by logging on the app. Try one day at a time and if one day is bad start again or come here and get suggestions. Good luck to you seems you are doing great.
