Lost My Pregnancy Weight!

My son turns 2 this weekend and I am so happy! With him I gained 23 pounds and had gestational diabetes. Lost it all in 8 days. Still was fat, but hey, at least I was back to my before fat! (kind of, I am convinced the body will NEVER be the same!) Joined a gym, lost 10 more pounds since just breastfeeding wasn't burning the weight off like everyone said. (Now looking back I was just eating ALL of my BF calories) Got pregnant again (on purpose!) when he was 9 months old. Convinced I'd have diabetes again ate EVERYTHING the second time around until the test. Then I didn't have GD again, so kept eating. I gained 46 pounds. From weeks 16-41 (he was 2 weeks late, she was only 1) I gained almost 2 pounds every week. Couldn't believe it, but couldn't/didn't want to stop eating.

Well, she turned 5 months on the 1st (she was born on New Year's Day) and I have officially lost all 46 pounds as of this morning. I started with mfp when she was 2 months old. I started just logging what I ate, turns out I was probably eating like 3,000 calories a day. I only ate what I wasn't embarrassed to log (read less cookies) and I was eating 2,300 calories. So started eating healthier and just less (still enough calories to BF). Found out I can eat a LOT more if I eat fruits and veggies instead of oreos and pizza, which I still eat just in moderation.

I still have 12 more pounds to go to be healthy, but if I lose one more pound then I will be at my lowest in like 4-5 years! I wasn't overweight growing up, but when I got married (10 years ago this month!) we both packed on the pounds. Now my husband and I are losing weight together and eating and being healthier for our kids.

No pics, I'm still a slob, but maybe someday I'll feel confident with before and afters!
