I did south beach in 2004 and Lost 40 lbs. life happened and I gained 20 over 6 years. I kept trying low carb, and it wouldn’t “work” the second time. It was only after I had kids and my weight ballooned, and my body chemistry bounced all over the place, that low carb worked again. I lost 60 in 2017, but gained 30 in 2018.…

Me too! I lost 60 in 2017, and slowly gained 30 in 2018. New jobs, kids, lack of exercise/time, stress, etc. etc. etc. it’s a journey....it’s just time to start over.😊

I paid for it because I wanted the quick support responses, but found the answers to my tech questions (Apple Watch, steps counts) generic and not addressed.

40, with 5 left. Contemplating going for 50.

Wow! 24 months bf! Awesome! I packed on the pounds each time my kids weaned...I kept eating like I was breastfeeding, and I was starving! This last time, I put on 15 lbs in about 3 months. Seriously..the hunger was crazy. I couldnt stop eating! I checked my my gp, over the weight gain, and she had my thyroid checked..sure…

I honestly just gave up until I was done breastfeeding. It seemed like when I'd start to decrease calories, my milk would be impacted. Then he'd be upset. It wasn't worth both of us being miserable. I just let the lbs pack on for a few months, as we started to wean. But they're coming off now that I'm done. Good luck :)

I'm 5'8 and started at 205 (when my "baby" was 15 months). I'm 175.2...and looking to get to 165 before reassessing. Feel free to add me.

Sorry for the late response! I weight everyday...it's motivation and accountability thing for me. I saw a loss in the first week, but I'm sure it was water weight bc of the decrease in salt. Good luck! Friend me if you want to see my diary.

25 pounds took around 10 weeks, but little to no exercise.

I LIVE on fast food. So when I started trying to lose weight, I changed what I ate. Not where I ate at. No more condiments, fried sides, or breads. Typically sonic for breakfast (side of eggs and splurge on a piece of bacon), lunch is subway or Panera salad or Panda Express veggies and beef n broccoli. Dinner may be…

Panda Express bowl - veggies and beef n broccoli. 220 calories. Love it for lunch. It keeps me filled up until dinner.

Good luck...similar situation here, but I'm coming off breastfeeding. I'm headed to the endocrinologist in a few weeks for thyroid/hormone interactions. Apparently, everything's connected, and thyroid issues "mimic" female hormone issues. I started with a trip to my primary care physician (blood work and thyroid scan),…

I put on weight...with both kids. I was super hungry all the time. Turns out, other health issues in play with the hormone changes.
