in Health and Weight Loss
Not to diminish everyone's hard work, and my intent is not to offend anyone, but...

If your highest/start/before weight is pre-delivery during a pregnancy, that it doesn't count! You are pregnant... not fat. You have another human being growing inside your body!

You may have been 200+ before you delivered, but the weight that is your highest/start/before weight is whatever you weighed AFTER you delivered you precious bundle of joy!

Thanks for allowing me to vent... I feel a little better. :smile:

    I agree. If I were to put my highest weight in...305...at the height of my pregnancy.....that's not fair or accurate considering I had something infesting my body.

    I go based off the weight I was when I started and I have a benchmark of when I got pregnant. That benchmark has been blown out of the water and I am 20 lbs below where I was when I got pregnant with my son 6 years ago!

    well, i am not counting my pregnancy weight as my start weight, however, after i lose all the weight i want, i WILL be figuring how much i lost total from the time i gave birth. reason being: i started pre-pregnancy at 125 and went up to 188. post-partum, i was 159. that is what i am now considering my "starting weight" for losing. but after i get back down to 125, trust me, i AM going to say that i lost 63 pounds! it is WAAAYYYYYYY harder to lose at age 40 and post partum than it was when i was 23 post-partum and i am going to take credit for every single pound! esp since my daughter only weighed 7 pounds of it! LOL :smile: i am working so hard, i want credit!

    If it makes someone feel better about themselves and thus more motivated, I don't have a problem with it.

    I see your point but really if its not your profile why does it matter to you?
