I have the same swing!!!

I can not believe how big you were - I remember you posting those pics - do you mind me asking - how long did it take for you to lose your baby weight? I gained 40 lbs, and already lost 20 the 1st week, but I'm worried the last 20 will be hard to get rid of!

Honestly, the first time I gained about 50 lbs. I lost about 45 of it very quickly. Good genetics I think and just keeping active and breastfeeding.

This time I was over 200 lbs. I gained approx 60 lbs (started 20 lbs heavier this time) I have only lost about 35 lbs so far.. However, I contacted the doctor because I am not losing any more weight, my nails are brittle, my hair is still falling out.. just way too much, I have migraine headaches and am just beyond exhaustion.. They did a blood test and I may have Lymes and a very underactive thyroid!! I have another blood test tomorrow. So hopfeully with meds Ill get back to normal.

They say it took you 9 months to put on the weight, give in 9 months to take it off.

I LOVE your pics!! Isnt it amazing how much you love your children?

Yes - it is!! I love him to pieces...

I'm so sorry you are going thru this - good luck with everything....

It actually did not take me 9 mts - I didn't start gaining until my 5th month - so maybe that means it will take me 4-5 mts to take off?

Wow... Amy, I had forgotten about those pics. Can you believe it was almost 1 year ago? Time flies.

I gain 21 Lbs so far with 8 wks to go. I can't even think about losing weight yet. Baby has to come out first.

You will most definitely lose most of your weight in the 1st week - I lost 20 lbs immediately - you are lucky!!!

I had some 'reserve' prior to being PG. I am not on a diet but I do not overeat and I have no cravings (so far!). I have been really conscious about portion control. I have been lucky that way.
