Hey everyone, I was here before, but embarrassingly i havent been on for about a year, in that time I have managed to go into deep depression because of the loss of a baby and then get pregnant again this time successfully and I am now 37 weeks and going! I am due January 20th and after she gets here I will be back on the grind. Before I got pregnant (during my depression) I gained a whopping 50 pounds... yeah i know... then 15 more during pregnancy. So pre-birth I am 273... the most I have EVER weighed in my life and let me tell you, its hard to see that number at the doctors office... I need help! Lots of it... Especially from breastfeeding mommies. I plan on breastfeeding for at least a year and I need advice on calorie intake, being healthy while maintaining my supply and energy... and just an overall boost! I am going to need support! If anyone is willing to help me get to my goal of 160 pounds, please please please add me! This is it! I am losing this weight after shes born and its NOT coming back! I did so good when I was here before and I am ready for it again!!

    I'm not a breastfeeding mom, but I was almost where you are... My heaviest was 250 and I struggled with depression after multiple miscarriages in past years. I kind of know what it's like.

    Send me a friend request. Would be happy to lend support in any way I can.
