Hello!!!!! I am new here and I have a six month old son.
I had gained 33# while I was pregnant, and actually lost all of it because I think most of it was water weight, and I was also breastfeeding.

Well, due to lack of production, I had to stop breastfeeding when he was about 4 months old :cry: and since then, I have been slowly gaining weight... I don't understand. Before I got pregnant, I was overweight, but I usually didn't gain weight this easily. I could usually keep it under control if I tried to.

I am now about 15# heavier than before the pregnancy and I am miserable! I am hoping that this website will help me out and that I can meet some new people to support me along the way :)
