This has been very interesting to read of other women's experiences. I have had 3 babies now and with every single one of them, I held on to about 20 extra pounds until they stopped nursing, no matter what I did. I usually gained 40 pounds with pregnancy so those first 20 pounds came off very quickly but after that, it was…

kyucifer: Just wanted you to know that I searched dizziness after eating and this thread popped up. :) Only mine is between breakfast and lunch and sometimes between lunch and dinner, very rarely between dinner and bedtime. I have been going crazy trying to figure it out, as it only started a few weeks ago. please update…

Thanks! Its true, Im not overweight, but before babies I was 140ish so I have lots of clothes that I still can't fit in to. Its hard to be patient. I think though that has been my problem the past few years. I get down to 160ish and then stall out so I just give up. I am not giving up this time. Also, I have greatly…

Im 5'8.5" and I started around 200 pounds after my baby was born a few years ago. I got down to the mid 160's and without calorie restriction would bounce around between 167- 177. In late August at 177 lbs I went back to calorie restriction and now I am 163. I have been steadily going from 162-163 back to 162 for the past…

Yep everyones bodies are different. I found this thread really interesting. Im currently 159 and wearing a "true" size 10. I have a very old classic cut skirt size 10 that is not vanity sized and it fits. In vanity sizing and especially with spandex I wear an 8. My shorts right now are size 8 which is just funny to me.…

I am SO not an expert so take what I say with a grain of salt, but i noticed that you eat a Totinos pizza every day. My husband loves those things and eats probably two or three a week for dinner and it really concerns me since they are so processed and unhealthy. But I digress... they have very high levels of sodium. I…

Im 5 8.5 and trying to still lose pregnancy weight. My baby is 18 months old... I'm trying to get to 145 but I would be happy with 155. Before babies my weight tended to fluctuate from 150- 155 and I wore a size 10. I have gotten down to 176 lbs and wearing a size 14. I started at 197 lbs. My highest weight ever. Each…

This is all so inspiring! I love this thread! I am 5'8.5" tall and currently weigh around 179. After I had my 3rd baby in 2012 last year I was my highest weight ever of 197 pounds. I started counting calories in early August of this year and started dropping weight pretty quickly. (still nursing) My goal is 145, my weight…

There has been some really great advice here. I wish I had seen this when I had trouble with evening snacking. I tried to go cold turkey and just never snack after dinner but I found that actually led to me overeating at dinner because I was afraid I would be hungry so I was trying to stuff myself to not be hungry for…

I am older now too and this is my third child. My weight is higher than it has ever been right now and I finally decided to start counting calories just this week because "eating to hunger" was not working out for me. I have a nursing toddler but she doesn't eat many solid foods so it feels like she is nursing all the…
