Thanks for all the support ladies- I feel better today as I look down at her little face nursing right this minute with her tiny hand gripping my breast. Yes, this is what she wants at this moment :smile:

Dydn.... I've heard the same.... Also afraid to try....

Victoria- are you from TWW?!!! It's Prinycesa from the December group! When did you wind up having your baby? Olivia came on Christmas day :/ The one day I told her not to come the whole 9 months. Sigh. We're all over on Facebook in a private group if you want to join!

Thanks all, appreciate all the thoughts!! A few things to reply to but instead of quoting I'll just do it here :) Not on the mini pill. Just got the non hormonal IUD placed a couple weeks ago. Yes, can't wait to start walking and just getting outside! We live in buffalo, we are pounded with snow every year. Still cold now…

Yeah hoping to get walking once it warms up. Mine are 4 yrs, 5 yrs & 3 months. Not as easy to just go out alone with all 3 but we will when we can :)

Great, thanks ladies. At least i know its not an unheard of thing. I swear all i ever hear is "omg breastfeeding made me lose all of my baby weight right away!". I really have lost nothing in the last 2 months. Nothing at all. This is my 3rd baby but 1st time i breastfed so i wasnt sure what to expect.

I'm 5'6 and 145 and very happy! Sure 5 more lbs might make me happier but i'm not worried about it. I'm ecstatic to stay right where i am for the rest of my life ;)

If I have clothes on then I think i look awesome. If i'm naked I see all the improvements needed.

I found this thread interesting. I've always been just under 5'5 ever since high school. Now I just went to 2 doctors visits in the past month and am 5'6. Dr said something about your spine compressing when you're carrying more weight & posture. Dunno. All I know is that my BMI went down overnight ;)

A lot. Pretty much every aspect. I feel so much healthier. My family is a lot healthier. People are much nicer to me. Men and women. I get a lot of attention from men. I have more energy. I would love to go back to school and study nutrition even though i have a bachelors and masters degree in education. My clothing style…

9 lbs away from goal and nope, never thought id get there. It was just some fairytale made up place in my head. Ive always been overweight or obese as a teen and adult so no, i had no idea what i would look like either. But i'll say that i quite enjoy how it looks now!

5'5 149 lbs 35-27-38

5'5 and 149 now and feel very happy. Size 6-8 and usually smalls. I'd like to get to 140 but if i dont i'm happy where i'm at!

You look awesome! Go you!

I do have a little. I was worried it would be worse but its just a bit on my upper inner thighs but i've noticed it getting better :bigsmile:

Really nothing that you havent heard i'm sure. Move more, eat less. I eat many more fruits and veggies and save the processed stuff for weekends. I eat lighter breakfast and lunches so i can eat a bit more at dinner (my favorite meal). I cut all soda completely and replaced it with water. And move. I tried to get some type…

Oh my goodness I am so very sorry. Truly sorry. I cannot even begin to imagine the depth of your pain. You are all in my thoughts ((((huge hug)))) I have never lost a child. My best friend died when we were teenagers in a car accident. Her parents turned to the church. Its been 12 years now and they seem to be dealing as…

Its not. Its good for your health as well as burning calories.

My goal weight has changed probably 5 times during the journey. I had never been an a "normal" weight so i had no idea what to pick. Now that i'm getting closer, i've picked somewhere in the middle of my normal BMI range.

Old post but if it helps anyone, i too am always cold. Especially my fingers and toes. I wonder if my body will ever regulate.

Great job OP! I saw this this morning too. Such awesome stories! Made me want to submit mine on day! :smile:

You look beautiful, go you!

Same, my upper arms/shoulder/chest all really thinned out. I like showing them off in tank tops!

5'5 current 149 goal 140

I've had paragard for over 2 yrs now and ive lost 125 lbs so, no, it hasnt hurt me!

Thank you guys!!! As much as i love the comments saying that i look great, i love the ones saying that i have a beautiful family even more. It means a lot :flowerforyou:

It will be 2 yrs next month. Thanks so much everyone!!!!

Your pictures dont show up but i wouldnt worry one bit . 5'7 and 180 lbs isnt that overweight, i doubt you will have any loose skin problems. Most of us here with the worries are those who are overweight by 50, 75, 100+ lbs

Ha ha. My husband is the same way. Doesn't bother him at all. I think hes proud :drinker:

OP you are awesome! I usually just give a tight little smile and turn my eyes away. They kind of get the hint that i'm not interested after that.
