I'm 5'9", and I was 145 prepregnancy. I got up to 216 pounds, now I am 170 and working on getting back to 145...

I have a generic one, and I can't really tell if it has helped. As the previous poster said, it is pretty uncomfortable.

I understand exactly how that feels, being that I have gained 40 pounds in the last 8 months. But please don't be so hard on yourself! It never helps to beat yourself up, and the wonderful thing about taking proactive steps is they make one start to feel better long before he or she reaches his or her goal. If you can…

Why would you feel this has anything to do with you, or your weight? This guy needs psychiatric help, this has nothing to do with you, sweetheart.

Thank you, all you wonderful mamas, for the words of wisdom and encouragement!

Your birth story is very similar to mine! It was so scary and painful. I'm so sorry you went through all that. I'm sorry we both did. Thank you for sharing, I am very encouraged by you story!

My husband is a fireman, too! I promise, everyone likes you! That said, you have a really stressful job. Stress and sleep deprivation are both associated with carbohydrate cravings and overeating, so don't be hard on yourself! You have a little more on your plate than many because of your job, but you can do it!
