Im a second time Mom, Feeding, Brand New baby and a new set of concern! I gained a total of 15 lbs with my first pregnancy he is now 5. But.. wow. this time was bruital. I didn't over eat, Just wow. I gained 45 lbs this pregnancy, i was sorta sad in some ways when I got pregnant it wasn't planed because I had started the diabetic diet (even though I am not diabetic) lost 30lbs, lol well gained all that back and then some. So its now, its a new challegne,because I need to lose some weight, and I am breastfeeding. It was nice to know the site had the option to take into consideration breastfeeding. awesomeness. Eating the calroie sugestions everday will be easy, the hard part will be incorporating the excersise, which I know I need. but...I gotta think this cute little new born will be crawling, walking, running soon. Gotta be able to keep up! I've got the motivation, but..I Just gotta find that thing to really help stay on track...
Hey there! I also gained more with my second pregnancy. I think that maybe because it was my second that my body filled out easier. But my daughter is now 2 and I am finally saying that I have had enough of being overweight. I have let 2 years pass and have been so unhappy with my body. My ultimate goal is to lose about 40 pounds...I say ultimate b/c I don't know if I will ever be back to what I was in high school...but I am gonna try! Kudos to you to begin now...do not wait any longer, otherwise you will be in my shoes 2 years later wondering why you waited. I started the slim fast diet 2 weeks ago and have lost 5 pounds so far. I started out slow with the exercising but I really have noticed that I have so much more energy. The first week was rough with actually getting myself on my elliptical but honestly i feel so much better. I know it has only been two weeks and I think that this first 5 pounds is going to be the quickest weight to lose but I just keep telling myself that my confidence is so much more satisfying than a brownie or candy bar. I have cut out all candy (my weakness) and I have been drinking mostly water. But anyway hang in there. I have a son who is 6 and a daughter who is now 2. I breastfed her all the way until she was 1. And I think breastfeeding burns calories so you are doing something great for you and your baby! Good Luck and keep us updated!
I just had my 2nd child to on nov.8. I didn't gain as much as I did with the first one but I never lost the weight with my first child. Thats great that your breastfeeding I think the weight will come off faster.
