Question for all the fitness pro's

jene77

So I've been pregnant twice and gained about 55 pounds with each kid. The first week you drop about 10 to 20 pounds with water weight ect. So I really had about 35 to lose. I had no problem losing the weight, I watched my calories and ate about 1000 to 1200 each day and exercised every other day burning anywhere from 700 to 1000 calories. I lost all the weight within 3 to 4 months with each kid. And I was very fit and had great muscle definition. I had hernia surgery on my tummy and then started full time school and I gained about 30 pounds in about a year eating out with friends during school and not exercising.

So my question is.... should I just do what works for me because eating all these calories is NOT working lol sometimes it's telling me to eat 2000 calories a day! I lost 13 pounds before I joined this site and have only lost a grand total of 2 pounds in 70 days on this site WTF??

I have always been small and fit my whole life, the only times I've been heavy is during my pregnancys and this past couple years from the surgery and during school.

Anyone have any of the same experiences I've had?
