Actually, well, as personal to me as it is, I started seeing a psychologist because of some issues I have. My support system, eh...my family is part of my reason for my dr visits to begin with. My husband is on midnight shift, has been since November and won't rotate through 'til next month. I deploy for Cuba in August and…

Thank-you for the link! I was like...ah! Where am I gonna find this?! As for the pre-eclampsia angle I could try but I'm not certain it would work. I could talk to my doctor about it. I'll see how it looks one month out from June 2nd and ask then.

Ignore this.

Unfortunately they give every female the same amount of time to lose the weight. I'm not breast feeding though.

The picture didn't work, however if you highlight the link, copy and paste it to the browser you can see how big I was 3 months ago.

Thank you, I feel like I peed most of that weight out. I was so ridiculously swollen.. I hope this picture works... <img>https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/228220_338341372940746_128310928_n.jpg</img> I think I'm going to up my caloric intake from the 1200 it 'recommends'. I also have an appointment with a…

No, I'm not breast feeding.

Yes, I was 245 when I had her, maybe even more than that. I was hospitalized for two weeks and had her 8 weeks early due to pre-eclampsia. I want to weigh 135 but can't weigh more than 143 so technically I have 33 lbs to lose. I just feel like it's ridiculous for them to give us only six months to lose this.

Yes I go to pt in the afternoon. I have a babysitter to watch my daughter 'cos I work 12 hour days.

Also, the 69 lbs lost is what I've lost so far since I've had my daughter. Most of it was water weight but it's still weight lost none-the-less!

Amen to that! I have made my meals a lot lighter and I was craving a snickers, I added it into my journal to see and it would have been almost 300 extra calories. I said no way! That increased my 'if everyday were like today weight' up three pounds! No thanks!

Soak it in epsom salt, it will help you out! In the mean time, watch what you eat if you're worried about extra weight gain and I would go swimming. That is such a great cardio method and gets your pulse up fast!

I drink water, and lots of it. It'll fill me up and get my mind on whatever I need to be focused on.

Thank-you for the links! That first one has a heck of a lot to read. I think a lot of my mental rut has to do with PPD and the fact that I deploy to Cuba in August for a year. Meaning I will be separated from my husband and daughter. It is slowly sinking in. I know that I signed up for all of this when I raised my right…

Thanks, what is Paleo? Also, even though my baby was born early luckily she had no health issues what-so-ever so I'm doing my best not to worry. She is right on target with her birthdate too.
