in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
Hi I'm Jessica. I'm 22 from Ohio USA. The last time I had this app was when I was pregnant. I successfully had my daughter on April 7th. Before I was pregnant I was 98lbs and went up to 140lbs. After I had her, my weight continues to drop drastically. I currently weigh 89.8lbs and I want to get myself back up to 98lbs. Feel free to send me a friend request and help chear me on during my weight gain journey!

    Hey and welcome! Congratulations on the birth of your baby!

    I am in the process of losing, but I did have to adjust my calories up to avoid losing too quickly due to breastfeeding. The commonly stated burn of 500 calories/day for exclusive breastfeeding was just...not enough for me. I still burn more than that with my 1 year old who has finally, finally, finally started eating some solids. So if you're breastfeeding, make sure you're giving yourself enough room for that in your calculations! Good luck!
