Congratulations! This is the only post that I have read today that I have no smart *kitten* comment for and am in complete agreement with. I have no gift for you, so you'll have to settle for this

While I personally do use my weight after my baby was born (because it took me 2 months to actually get back on the weight loss wagon), I don't understand why this is a pet peeve of yours. Why does it bother you? Weight loss is weight loss and everyone should be proud of themselves for losing any amount of weight. We all know how hard it is to do.0

hmm... didn't realize this was a competition.
:yawn:0 -
Agree! Vent on!0

Why do you all care that she cares?0

Eh I gained way more weight AFTER I had my son than I did while I was pregnant... so... yeah. lol.0

A pet peeve by definition is something that someone finds annoying that my not particularly bother others.... So to those asking "why", it just bothers me. It's not a "competition"... it just bothers me.
missikay1970 - you are right... however much "you" weighed after you delivered, would be your starting point - and congratulations on working on getting back down... don't do like me and wait till your "baby" is about to graduate High School...
What are some other Pet Peeves out there?0 -

this...
she was venting... i swear next time one of you who ask "why does it matter to you" vents, i'm gonna tell you the same thing. who care's why she cares, she just does and a lot of people agree. everyone has pet peeves so go somewhere with your "holier than thou" attitude.0 -
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)

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.0

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!0 -

wow! Quite the accomplishment! congrats!0 -
I just don't care either way0

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.

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...0 -
