    Why do you all care that she cares?
    She's the one who felt the need to make her peeve public. Be prepared for responses that you don't get to dictate or control.

    It matters to some I know because the amount you have lost shows that what you are doing is working! And if you are giving advice, and people think that you lost 15 more lbs than you actually have, it can be misleading.

    Who are you more likely to take advice from, someone who has lost 25 lbs by doing what they are preaching or someone who lost 15 lbs in one day of child birth, but inflates their stats. lol

    It just trivializes what those who have lost all the weight through this system. (not saying giving childbirth isn't work lol, i would never want to have something that large come out of me)

    :)

    This!

    But I guess if you lost weight WHILE pregnant - hey that's a different story altogether! Good on ya by the way! :) That's fantastic. But I think you should include these details perhaps in your profile if that is the case, just so people know! :)

    So to throw my worthless two cents into this useless convo, what about me? I actually lost 30lbs during pregnancy and after delivery of my TWINS...can I not count my pre-pregnancy weight in that loss if I continued losing? I mean, I did weigh 30lbs more without the "infestation" (as someone else said). According to your theory, though, I can't count those 30lbs in my weight loss because I lost them while I was carrying two children. Nope, I think I deserve them because I certainly ate more healthily during that time than I had pre-pregnancy.

    wow! Quite the accomplishment! congrats! :smile:

    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:

    THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME

    Congratulations... that is incredibly difficult to do, especially with twins. I am sure your Doctor was following your diet very closely. If you weren't pregnant when you hit your highest, then of course you would use that weight.

    It just wouldn't be an actual representation of what you weighed if it included another human being...

    Agreed.

    I agree.

    If I was listening from advice from someone who's lost 45 pounds and it turns out 30 pounds of that was lost after delivering their baby, I would be irritated.

    What's interesting is that when people ask, "why do you care?" They're not really asking a question. I suppose it's possible, but I think it's probably unlikely. It seems more likely that they're just being passive aggressive, and instead saying "You shouldn't care."

    So allow me to be not passive aggressive and simply state that you shouldn't care that she cares. I assume it works both ways, yes?

    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!

    You CAN count post partum weight. I agree with this post. If you count your highest weight as the weight you are the day before you give birth, then you are counting baby too. I think if you count your weight at your 6 week check up, that is an accurate starting weight.

    Just my opinion, but I do look at a post of someone that loses 100lb I get all excited for them, then I find out they were 9 months pregnant and I disqualify it.(to me it just doesn't count) I would feel better if they lost 90lbs and started out 6 weeks after baby. It's just how I feel.

    You count your highest weigh when you were NOT pregnant. You can count the weight you had before you conceived, absolutely.

    I'm curious, since you clicked on the link knowing it was about pet peeves, would you have told her to keep it to herself if had turned out to be a pet peeve you happened to agree with? Or because you don't hold the same perspective as the OP, she should keep her trap shut? Could you clarify?

    What do you care?

    So obviously this doesn't make much of a difference to me (seeing as I'll never be pregnant), but I could see why so many of the women seem to agree that the post baby weight should be used.

    Everyone wants and deserves credit for their hard work. If someone works hard for weeks, eats right and loses 10-15 pounds, maybe they feel like they aren't getting the recognition/credit they deserve when other people are putting up the same weight loss numbers over a couple days (by having a baby). I don't think it's so much of a competition, but more that maybe it makes them feel like they haven't accomplished much.

    I would feel the same way. Some are just counting the weight of the actual baby and forgetting the extra pounds that are required to support a pregnancy (i.e. placenta, amniotic fluid, excess blood, extra tissue, breast enlargement, and uterus expanding, and extra fat). When you give birth not only do you lose the baby weight, but the extras that went into supporting a baby.

    That is absolutely not the same thing as what the OP is saying. You definitely should get credit for those 30 lbs!

    My pet peeve is that I love to read threads in which people argue. It breaks up the monotony of a quiet Friday at home. However, every time I get involved and type something grouchy, the thread gets locked.

    So how long do you wait after you have delievered to determine your start weight??

    You know what my pet peeve is? People who have pet peeves. They're just an excuse to get mad over something that doesn't affect you in the slightest.

    Let it go. It's not your life.

    As long as you are no longer carrying the baby in your tummy... :wink:
