Fat And Frusterated

Miles Mom - September 12

I'm a first time mother, and a pioneer among my friends (which makes things difficult) I am having serious issues with my weight loss. Before getting pregnant I worked very hard at losing weight and lost 30 pounds. I was 140 lbs when i found out I was pregnant, and at two weeks over due I weighed in at a whopping 220lbs. I even ran and swam my entire pregnancy (Ifigured it was meant to be) Needless to say I had a healthy 10lb baby boy. Well it's been exactly 3 months since his bith and I'm weighing in at 190. I am so happy with every aspect of this new life but am terribly sad when I look at myself in the mirror. I look like a stranger and I can't seem to loose this weight. My husband is extreemly supportive (I guess i'm lucky in that regard) but mostly because he is positive I'll loose the weight. I'm just not convinced. I've been trying everything, I've been so good with my diet and am getting tonnes of exercise and still nothing. I refuse to buy new clothing because I so desparatly want to fit in the old clothes, but am beginning to feel like I'm wearing the same yoga pants four times a week....I can barely fit into most of my maternity clothing. I'm just so sad and frusterated...does anyone have any suggestions or have you or are you experiencing the same thing? I could really use a friend who understands.

Check out the Plus Size and Pregnant threads in the General questions category. I'm 27 weeks with our first, and I've been overweight for several years. Are you b___stfeeding? Everybody says the weight just drops off if you do.

hello miles mom well with my first child I gained 65 pounds all becaues I ate bad foodbefore i was pregnant I waid 137 and beleve me I was a fatty. but now after 2 years Im back down to 135 so it can happen.( I also have a wonderful husband) but I did winser pallotie and it really works (as long as you really do it sometimes I slacked probibly why it took so long to loose the weight) so just keep working at it . I also started drinking diet pepsi instead of pepsi and you can loose a lot within the first cupple of weeks just from drinkin diet drinks... good luck you can do it :)
