in Introduce Yourself
It has been 5 month since I had my first baby boy. After my last visit at doc's I was weighing 8lb more then the day after my delivery. I am a breastfeeding mom, and I know that dieting is not for me these days, BUT ... i was overloading myself with sweets and pastries. I had never sweet tooth in my life, but after having this baby something has changed in me (may be its hormonal), I am just craving sweets - cookies, cakes, chocolate -you name it. I started going to gym, but with little one it hasn't been as consistant as I would wish. Finally, I found this website, and I am really hopeful that with community support I will be able to pace myself and will return to my pre-pregnancy weight - 115lb (now I am weighing 138).

    Hey! I'm Cassi, I'm 21 and have a very busy 19 month old.
    Since having him I have gained and gained and I'm the heaviest I have ever been!
    Maybe we can support each other!

    I've been posting and tracking seriously for the past week and its been really helpful!
    I just started posting in the forums and so far I'm down 3 lbs!
    I try to get 30 minutes of exercise in a day and have cut out soda and got rid of junk food.
    I have a sweet tooth too and I have found that the snackwells devils food cake cookies are to die for and only 100 cals for 2 of them.

    I feel your pain. 6 weeks after I had my son I weighed 5 pounds less than my pre-pregnancy weight. I currently weigh 45 pounds more than I did 9 months pregnant. My son is now 10 years old. good luck!

    I know how you feel!! When I had my son I gained 54 lbs...no the doc was not happy with me at ALL. It took me months to get it off. That was 16 years ago, but nonetheless I know what you're going through. I'll send you an invite. We all need all the motivation we can get!!

    Thank you for your support, I am sick of wearing the same pair of jeans and two sweaters. All my clothes do not fit right now. The day after my delivery I weigh myself and I was 25lb less what made me so happy, but later on when the huricane has begun I lost track on certain things in my diet.

    Hi - I just joined this site a few days ago. Even though it's been a couple days of posting it has helped knowing I am tracking calories. I used WW too but didn't like it too much, never knew the calories! I think this will work. I'll add ya...
