in Introduce Yourself
Hello :smile: ,

I just had a baby on 12/16/08 and at first I lost 20 pounds when I first got pregnant and of course I gain it and +18 pounds. So Im back to the same weight before pregnancy BUT its not my ideal weight I want to loose at least 40 lbs. So far have been counting my calories and I have gained weight ! Im guessing ts the depo vera shot for birth control so have decided not to keep getting the shot and try another form of birth control! I hope I can loose all the weight so I can feel better about myself and also health!

    of course you can!

    you are young, so you can get your metabolism going with regular workouts, water, and tracking your calories every day. pretty soon that baby is going to be running around (not soon time wise, but they grow so fast!) and if you stick to it, by then you will be ready for the challenge!

    good luck! :flowerforyou: and congrats on your baby!

    I had such a horrible experience with Depo. Get off of it now and expect some acne, bloating and absence of a period for a few months. That baby is gorgeous!! Good luck and let me know if you want the full page dissertation on the Depo nightmare that gave me about 30 pounds to lug around!!!

    Welcome and congrats on the new baby! :flowerforyou: On depo off depo I had no difference in weight. I went off for a year and lost my short term memory from the hormone withdrawal and then started having migraines again and had to go back on. I have bad hormonal migraines so I have to be on BC to control them.:frown: Things will turn around soon! :drinker:
