  • Thanks guys! I'm truly blessed with my babies! I'm thinking it's just permanently stretched, but I'd love to tighten it up! Maybe once I'm done breastfeeding, I can try the calorie deficit more. I'm averaging about 1500-1700 per day but don't want to drop it anymore than that for now for fear of messing with my milk…
  • Ok thanks guys. I had fluctuated a pound here or there occasionally but not that much and it been so persistent. Usually I'd be back down to what I was previously after a day or so. So being 4 days out and not going down any was worrying me! I'm new to this sort of stuff, so I wasn't sure if water weight/bloat would stick…
  • As far as the calorie deficit of 500-750 cals/day, I believe that's right.

  • I know it tends to come off a lot faster when you're a bigger person to begin with. I'm not. I'm not super tiny but I'm 5'5" and I'm between 135-140 lbs. I want to get back to my 120-125 range.
  • Yep. Totally normal. Medically there isn't a reason why I shouldn't be losing. I'm just not. Idk if I'm doing something wrong or what.
  • No, I've been off of the steroids for 2.5 months now. Actually, my surgery *should* have increased my metabolism. But not so much for me yet. He says weight loss should be possible without issue. I do walk and do stairs. It's not that I'm still healing from surgery as much as I just will never be able to do much that…
