I actually just found this group. I'm ten months pp, I gained 50ish pounds and have had to really work VERY hard to get it back off. I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight but my body is not looking the same ;-( I'm carrying a lot more fat around my waist. Oh well.....

messaged you

I have a 9 month old baby as well. I gained 4lbs post partum and that was enough to make me realize my weight was going in the wrong direction. My baby was 9 weeks premature and everyday I'd go spend the day in the hospital eating cookies and drinking coffee from the coffee bar downstairs. I had to realize I couldn't eat…

I think what ^^^^ said is pretty spot on. Especially if you had surgery and gained the weight back. You ate more calories than your body needed.

I'm on WW now, I'm never hungry. Yes you only get 30 points a day, you choose to use them wisely. You also get an extra 35 points a week to use for whatever you want or as a buffer for days when you go over. You can also get TONS of extra points for exercise. It's only Wednesday and I have 57 extra points so far just based…

I have a 6 month old baby. I gained about 50lbs.... I stopped looking at the scale towards the end. I've got about 9lbs left to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I started out walking everyday with my baby in the stroller and worked my way up from there. I also have been doing weight watchers. It works for me but it's…

Yes I do WW. It works fine for me. I have no issues with their data base, everything I scan is there and really helps me shop accordingly.

1/3 cup oats 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla cashew milk 2 TBLS chocolate PB2 refrigerate overnight eat in the morning with fresh banana doesn't get any easier!

OP is kind of snippy to those just giving advice.

I'm almost 4 months post partum. I have 18lbs left to lose to be back at pre-pregnancy weight. I'm just walking a lot and making wise eating choices. It's coming off slowly. Feel free to add me.

I'm 3 months post partum and losing weight is a challenge. Your body is still healing from growing and delivering a baby. Why are you trying to be on a diet so soon after having the baby? I'm not dieting... but I am being selective with what I eat and not eating things I don't need at the moment. Excess sugary treats and…

I'm 12 weeks post partum and finally ready to get this mom body into better shape!

I'm 29.5 weeks. I gained a lot in my first tri. I tried to eat well but carbs were all I could handle. I'm currently up 30lbs from the beginning. I haven't gained in 6 weeks though. I did stop logging and tracking. It wasn't helping me and made me feel horrible about myself. So I stopped. The weight gain just is what it is…

I'm 22 weeks and I've started swimming for exercise and its great. Causes no aches or pains and is a really good workout in my opinion. Perhaps you could try that?

I'm 17 weeks pregnant now.... may I ask how much you gained? I'm stressing the pregnancy weight gain big time.

Well I've gained 19lbs and I'm 17w4d so as of this morning I'm back to counting and logging my calories again. Trying to get ahead of this weight gain before it gets out of control.

I def have a big round belly! I'm 15 weeks and look pregnant. My boobs have also gotten even bigger than they already were.

@fernt21 welcome!!! Congrats as well! I didn't have any symptoms in the very beginning either and then all the sudden stuff got real :-(. I'm currently 11w5d. I'm bloated, gassy, boobs are huge and emotional. Most of the nausea has passed for now. I've gained 8lbs unfortunately. Good luck! Look forward to keeping in touch!

My boobs got quite porn starish almost overnight as well. So I'm right there with all of you on the boob issue. Are any you ladies on the bump.com and part of your birth month group? I'm on there and really enjoy the pregnancy chatter from the other women.

@verykatie be glad you don't have all the symptoms that go with it. It sucks. I've gained like 8-9 pounds and feel guilty when I eat now. I know pregnancy makes your body gain weight but I feel bad about myself when other ladies are losing weight during pregnancy and here I am over here getting fat :-(

I started having heartburn early on from anything and everything. I've been taking Zantac. It def helps!

@VeryKatie I was 7w3d and my baby measured exactly as it should be and had a 148 bpm heart rate! My overall pukey feeling has subsided for now. Just ravenously hungry. Like wake up at 2am hungry but I refuse to eat in the middle of the night. I've gained 6 lbs already and directly in my stomach. I'm hoping I can control it…

I have no control right now. I'm almost 9 weeks and am eating a lot. This hunger is like something I've never felt before :-(.

Due June 4th! Already had an ultrasound and saw my baby and it's little heartbeat!

@VeryKatie I felt the same way in the beginning. Not really many obvious symptoms then things really kicked in. Constipation from the prenatal vitamins, sore boobs, an overall pukey feeling and hungry all the time. I got an ultrasound the other and saw my baby! Very exciting.

I have awful stomach issues. Always feel like I'm ready to vomit. Lots of headaches too and my boobs are sore. I'm just starting my 7th week. Things are getting rough!

Awesome! Another June buddy! How are you feeling? If I don't keep food in my belly I start getting nauseous. I've developed some serious food aversions too. Some things make me feel ill if I smell them. I've also lost my sweet tooth. I don't seem to want sweets anymore which I suppose isn't a bad thing!

I'm almost 6 weeks and I'm certainly trying to keep my eating under control. Although some days it seems hard even when I'm putting good food into my body it's still more than my allotted calories for the day.

Oh man, I'm pregnant and this thread makes me want all the tacos!!!!!!!
