40lbs and had baby

Options
My new years goal for 2012 was to lose50 lbs.at my heavest i weight 185 and I'm only 5 feet tall! . i did manage to lose 40 pounds in 5 months (januruary to may) so i wieghted 145 then i could not lose anymore no matter how hard i tried. In june 2012 I found out i was pregnant! I had a boy on march 2013.

I gained exactly 20 lbs during my pregnancy. So i went from 145 to 165. And at my 6 week post pregnancy apt. I weight 145 again! I was happy to have lost all my pregnancy weight! As of righht now i still weight 145 i have been dieting with some excerise and eating good.

After i did loose the 40 pounds i did not have a comp or interent so i was unable to post pictures so Im doing it now. lol

    thats amazing! good for you!! its really hard to gain only 20lbs during pregnancy. I was at 145lbs and very active during pregnancy, still running until 6.5 months pregnant, eating pretty well but i still managed to gained about 55lbs. I had her this past December and I have only lost about 15lbs of it so I have long ways to go. Its baby#2 so I don't know if that plays a part in it. But good for you--your experience is very motivating ;)

    You showed great moderation to only gain 20 pounds during your pregnancy. Great job! I am sure you can bring your weight further down. You could try something like 30 Day Shred with Jillean Michaels like I have been doing. I have only lost about 3.5 pounds, but over 6 inches throughout my body and much more muscle and toning. Enjoy your new little blessing!

    Amazing! Great story! I'm 5'2" and hoping to get down to 135 (really lower, but I'll take what I can get) and am nearing 145! Can't wait to get there. Good job only gaining 20lbs! I know how hard that alone can be during pregnancy!
