I want to reclaim my life after the ptsd of a traumatic birth experience, and fit into my old clothes!!

Hi! Sending you a request! I’m Catharine, a SAHM (previously choir teacher). I have two boys, ages 3 and 10 mo. Gained 75 with first pregnancy, lost 65, gained 75 again with the seconds, working to lose again!
-
I know this will seem naive, but it's true. I gained 75 pounds with my first pregnancy. I was sick with preenclampsia and on bed rest for some of it. So I attributed the amount of weight I gained to getting sick. When I was miserable and stuck on the couch, I ate a lot of junk food. I lost most of it using MFP. I set a…

I LOVE THIS- where you said it's your "lifeline," your "secret weapon." It's my SECRET WEAPON! Bwahahaha! I love it. thinking of it positively instead of negatively. Not something I have to do, but something I CAN do. What an amazing tool we have! And that it's electronic and convenient. Not lugging around a manual and a…

You might add me and look at my diary to get some ideas. I’m allergic to many things too, not all the same as you. Nuts Raw stone fruit, bananas, avocado Raw parsley Carrots Mango, papaya, dates I also don’t eat most meat, just occasionally, so most of what I eat is vegetarian. I just started logging this week after my…

Well... haha. My son was born 2 weeks ago. Yay! :) Got up the guts to weigh myself today. Gained 40 pounds. Basically back to where I started 3 years ago, after my first son was born. I guess it's time to get back to it!

Not March, but April 2019! :)

The last time I was pregnant, I gained 75 pounds. Some of it was due to having preenclampsia, but only 20 came off easily, and the next 35 I worked my butt of for, pound by pound, over the next few years (I ended up 10 pounds over pre-baby weight, oh well). I'm now at 25 weeks, and have already gained 30 pounds. I don't…

With my last pregnancy, I was super puffy and sick with preenclampsia. I had someone tell me that it must have been due to a sin of mine that I got sick, and that she hoped God would use it. I was so ill I didn’t know what to say, and I can’t even remember today who it was, but it still hurts (and to be clear- I don’t…

Nope. Have you ever had a crush on your teacher/professor?

Alright!! Way to go. I’m with you. I gained 75 with pregnancy, topping at 225. Got down to 167, but I’ve been here for like 7 mo. Goal weight is 143, so about 25 to go too. We can do this!
-
225 including baby- here I am right after having my baby- 167 now. Goal is pre-baby weight of 156. I'm 5' 9 3/4".

Most people have been supportive, but one family member worries I'm losing too much. I told my doctor, all excited, and I showed him MFP, and later he said it seemed OCD. So far I've lost 37 lbs since MFP.
-
For me, surprises have been: 1) I get light headed when I'm on a roll and losing weight 2) I have to remember to drink water, because if I'm used to ignoring hunger, I may also ignore thirst 3) not always having people respond positively 4) I have been amazed at how easy it is, really. The discipline is hard, but it's no…

So inspiring to read your stories! I have chronic back pain due to a bulging disc, which makes it impossible for me to run, jog, jump rope, or do other high impact exercises. Some days I can't stand. Right now I mainly walk and do gentle yoga, when I can. If I am careful then I can dance.

Before About 40 lbs down

Same here. Gained 70 during pregnancy I'm trying to lose.

Feel free to add me! Looking for people who want to cheer each other on.

Hi Hannah! Hang in there! I just gained 70+ lbs with my recent pregnancy and am struggling to get back down. I have back problems too so believe me I sympathize- so hard to exercise when it hurts to move! I'll add you.
