Sorry for posting on a zombie post!! But I just wanted to say it's been just slightly over a year when I stopped counting and commented on this thread and I'm still going strong! :) Didn't gain weight back, and am not counting anymore. Having obsessively logged all food eaten for over a year kind of helped reset my body to…
-
I stopped counting about a week or two ago. I just figured I will give myself a 5 lb buffer and if I gain up to that I will start counting again, otherwise just eat how I've been eating for the last year since I've started logging. I just went through pregnancy and had my baby 1 month ago and lost all the weight I had…

I ate at maintenance during my entire pregnancy, upping my weight as I gained which also upped my maintenance calories by about 200 calories over the pregnancy. (From 1500 to 1700 a day). Pre-pregnancy weight: 125 lbs. (I am 5'6") 40 weeks/delivery: 147 lbs. (+22 lbs.) My baby weighed a healthy and hard to deliver 9 lb; he…

I just got tops with low cut v-necks or button down tops.. at goodwill :) (For night time I got a couple of nightgowns with buttons in the front that I just leave open) they work great and they are not maternity. For my daytime feedings I bought some dollar store tank tops, cut/seamed them off just below my bust and I wear…

That's great Amanda! I don't know how all that weight just melts off but I'm happy! :) Good luck with the 6 week checkup! I hope you are healing well.
-
Here is my last check in, 1 week post partum. Height: 5'6", starting weight 125lb, eating at maintenance for whatever weight I was at during the pregnancy (I adjusted my weight in mfp to get a new calorie goal, it went from 1500-1700 over the course of my pregnancy) 16 weeks pregnant: 1lb gained 18 weeks pregnant: 2lb…

@Kcasey you are doing so great with your weight! I'm sure you will meet your goals. @Erin, you are doing awesome too! Only 6 weeks left! :) @mommyshortleg wow, you are doing an awesome job! @hbarnstein I hope you are doing ok and not much stress this week! I don't think there's an actual logic to the weight gain either..…
-
That's a great plan Heather! 11 lb left to loose is not bad at all, you might loose it within the next few weeks from breastfeeding and more fluid losses too. I have just been eating what I feel like but my appetite really has not increased yet.. I've been sleeping in until 10 am so I'm kind of missing lunch lol. My baby…
-
Update, Baby 4 was 9.05lb and I gained bet. 21 and 22 lb total (I didn't weigh in for the last pre-birth weight). Ultrasound was off lol..
-
I agree with all the other comments, just eat really healthily and listen to your body. For me I just set MFP to maintain at whatever weight I became with pregnancy so my calories went up slightly over the course of my pregancy. But if I was not hungry I didn't force myself to eat more, and if I was hungry I did go over…
-
Wow Heather, I'm so glad you had your baby! I'm glad your due date wasn't all wrong like they though.. I knew the early ultrasound date was the most accurate :) I'm so happy for you that the labor didn't last that long and that you were able to push your baby out with no problems! Hopefully you will heal soon from that rip…
-
Welcome! I just had my baby 3 days ago! :) I wish you good luck loosing those few last lbs. I am planning on starting the 30 day shred as soon as I'm healed enough and I'm BFing too. I'm sure it won't take that long, just log everything you eat, work out and set MFP goals to loose a lb / week.. and you'll be done in less…
-
How are you doing heather? I hope you are feeling well and that your baby decides to come soon too!! :)
-
Aww, I'm so happy for you freckledLeann! I'm so glad your baby arrived safely with you. I'm sorry to hear you had to have a c-section though, I hope you heal well and quickly from it. Our babies have the same birthday!! :)
-
I used mine when I was pregnant :) I just had my baby yesterday and am back in my less-fat clothes but still 7lb away from my pre-baby weight. I'll slowly loose the rest and probably will donate those clothes soon. It really felt great to wear my fat clothes at 39 weeks pregnant and they fit :)
-
I just had my baby boy yesterday!! :) I'm so happy! You can read the birth story in the july due date thread if you are interested :) As for the weight, I just weighed myself and it looks like I only gained 7lb overall although some of it may be water weight still, we will see. I'm going to chillax and enjoy the baby and…
-
Hey guys! I just had my baby yesterday at 3:08pm! He was another big one, 9.05lb! We still don't have a name picked out yet. He is such a little sweetie.. Here is the birth story (I was telling my sister and just copied pasted the convo because I'm a bit tired to start over) :) Sister: How was the birth? Me: yeah it was…
-
Wow, it's going to be any minute now! How exciting! I hope you have a good delivery!!! God bless :)
-
lol, exactly :) I'm supposed to eat my egg yolks fully cooked.. but all I've had are soft ones! And sushi is delicious too although I've been making sure they use fish that had been frozen to kill parasites :) I always think some of these pregnancy eating rules are crazy.. I love brie too!
-
Great job Heather! I hope you are feeling well!! Are you having any contractions or any changes yet?
-
I had horrible bloating because of pregnancy (I know not the same thing!) but what helped me was drinking peppermint tea (unsweetened). I just brewed a small pot with two teabags and drank that throughout the day instead of water. The bloat went away within two days. Peppermint tea is really good in aiding digestion and…
-
I have a cup of coffee a day also.. I think as long as you don't over do it, it should be ok. One cup has around 100-200mg of caffeine so it's within the guideline.
-
That makes me feel better, I've been feeling guilty for not eating enough and/or right, just kind of crappy food and in small amounts lol! I hate the waiting to go into labor. I hope it happened to you since yesterday freckledLeann :)
-
What the last poster said :) Just get the dress at your current size and get it readjusted once it's wedding time. She can't boss you around like that lol.. Don't feel guilty at all, it is your body and if you want to get healthy now do it now. It will probably make an awesome inspirational picture for you to wear the…
-
Did any of you guys that are almost at due date loose your appetite? Well actually I am hungry but as soon as I eat my stomach feels so full and like in pain and I'm nauseous. I've not had my protein requirement/calorie goal met in almost 1 week I think. The on/off contractions are also so uncomfortable.. I hope baby will…
-
@freckledLeann I hope that you went into labor! It looks like your body was getting ready!! @kelly wow what a beautiful story! I'm so glad you had your little baby boy and that his shoulder got unstuck so easily too! How much did your little Toby weigh? It sounds like a really beautiful experience and much better then…
-
For me it is protein that keeps me full, I need it at every meal or I am hungry all day too. This last week or two my appetite really dropped though, I`m due in a few days and my stomach is feeling so small, I feel nauseous and can`t eat like usual. But before that for the entire pregnancy I always had about 20-30g of…
-
I almost forgot to add my weigh in this week.. I had all these horrible contractions that led nowhere (but they were super painful and lasted 5 hours (at night of course) from 8mins apart to 3 mins apart and then they stopped.. then irregular contractions since). I think the baby is coming soon! Anyways, I'm 5'6" and…
-
Kelly and FreckledLeann I hope that you guys go into labor before induction.. hopefully not on your birthday though! I've been having contractions on and off during the last few days.. not as bad as the night two nights ago though. With my other three kids I only had contractions once at birth so this is really weird for…
-
I just had a full night of contractions and don't feel too good.. They have stopped now but I really thought baby was coming at some points last night. I was also feeling very nauseous and had bloddy show (I lost my mucus plug 3 days ago too). I think it's getting closer for me.
