So I was 300 pounds and lost 130 then gained some back after I met my fiance and gained even more after having to move in a month and staying with friends and I got pregnant staying at my friends house and I've gained 57 pounds so far in my pregnancy. i'm very frustrated that I'm so close back to where i was 3 years ago. I feel like I am going to need a lot of support I decided to start watching what I eat again because my blood pressure has been really high and i'm at the end of my pregnancy. I have to get nonstress tests once a week starting tomorrow so I think it's important to watch my food intake I have 6 weeks to go and I really want to jump right into losing this weight again after he's born

Well you have to wait 6 weeks for a go ahead from you dr.
My daughter had an emergency c section with her third child, sort of put her in shock she was so surprised. That was the day of her induction. That was in October 9, 2013.
She began her food and exercise plan in January.
She bought a book for measurements and weekly goals.
Then she joined a gym and hired a personal trainer for one day a week one on one.
She has been working since then and has lost all her baby weight, 40 lbs, and is a size two jeans just as of September---it has taken that long to do it. Those last 10 lbs took her three months to achieve. She is 5'0"
So watching her and her dedication I would say that it takes about a year to get back to pre baby size no matter what you have to lose in weight, but you have to be dedicated, no excuses, and her trainer and the gym was her reality. It really does take a heap of dedication but the results are wonderful. Her tummy is perfectly flat. It can be done. Good luck. A daily walking plan might be just thething right now. Sending heaps of good luck for a great delivery and a beautiful baby.0
