17 months later but I did it!! I have a few more to lose before Im at my pre-pandemic weight but Im so happy.

I dropped about 17 lbs from my highest point. I actually gained 10 lbs after pregnancy before I decided to turn things around and start losing.

It may not sound like a lot but Im 52 and a woman with PCOS so it was no easy thing.

Thank you! I actually avoided the scale for the last month because I stopped going to the gym due to migraines and hormones being crazy. I was really surprised to see the number this morning. Now Im extra motivated to lose those last 5 lbs

No real diet. Just counted calories. Diets arent sustainable for me and I end up binging every time I try. I just ate what I wanted but in moderation and weighed my food and such. I havent done that this last month but had a general idea of calories I was consuming and remained careful.

I also do IF and only eat between 11am - 7pm

Its funny because I did so well in my pregnancy I only gained the recommended amount. But I was horribly nauseous most of my pregnancy and the latter half was just too uncomfortable to eat much. So when she was out I started binging. I gained most of my weight after I gave birth. I was so exhausted from a newborn and missed out on food for so long. I also didnt breastfeed so I didnt get the added calorie burn from that.

I hope you dont get the nausea because it was a real nightmare for about 20 weeks.

Glad to hear it! I know it's tough to do, but you did it!

I've been trying to work out and diet, but between my job, the long hours and over night shifts, it makes it hard to keep a steady diet going >_> Getting a long call at 2am and coming back to the station makes it really tempting to just grab a snack to unwind lol

I wish I were rich enough to afford a surrogate. Some women enjoy every moment of it. Props to them but I wasnt one of them. I wanted kids badly enough to do it though.

Thank you! Those shifts sound horrible. I would be snacking too. I just sit on my butt working from home all day. I dont have an excuse other than being too close to food sources all day. So I just stopped buying any snacks at all except on occasion.

Did you start to feel motherly and emotional or something during pregnancy, but it ain't happening with me so far. I basically just feel more cynical than before, but with the added parasitic organism in my uterus.
It felt like a parasite for a good while. I think I felt more towards her when she started moving around. But even that would freak me out. It was like a little chest burster and youd see her making waves across my belly. She also loved to kick me in the same rib, over and over and over. I honestly think she might have cracked it. She was overdue by 11 days and all I could think was GET THIS THING OUT OF ME

I didnt feel bonded until I actually held her in my arms. But part of that was also me disassociating because I was always worried something bad could happen after it took so long to get pregnant. But as soon as I heard her first cry I turned into a wailing teary mess with how happy I was.

Congratulations! It's tough as hell to lose weight, especially after having a baby but you are doing it! Always remember how far you've already come even if you start to feel like you can't do it.

My husband gained weight too. We were both so tired and binging. But its helped that were both trying to lose weight together. We both cook together and minimize buying junk so theres no temptation. Hes dropped almost 20 lbs so far. Im really proud of him!

has your husband gotten the memo about reinforcing positivity for your success too

if not that makes your accomplishment even more impressive, but i want to believe he has because it's so hard to do this without someone cheerleading you

Thats incredible! You should be proud Cleo, iirc were talking about a difference of like ~15% body weight, Im sure that goal felt daunting and you persevered to follow through despite that. Im sure things will continue to go well as you create your new set of goals to work towards! Thanks for sharing your story, I love reading about my fellow CEpeople having successes like this.

Nope. Hes still bad at verbal affirmation. But he shows support by cooking, getting groceries, watching our baby when I want to workout, etc. And he never cooked or did groceries before so I recognize that. He is acts of service through and through. I do miss verbal affirmations though.

Aww thank you! It feels good to reach this goal. I struggled with so many set backs and times where I took breaks. Its been slow but Im finally here. Just need to push myself for that final stretch.
