11 days PP (the incredible shrinking woman)

Ok. I had my little one 11 days ago. I know, I wasn't expecting to lose the baby weight, obviously this quickly. But my goodness!!

A little rundown on me first, I am a bigger gal, and during my entire pregnancy, I gained NOTHING, actually lost 7 lbs. Well, ofcourse, lost another 7lbs. 10oz. when she was born, plus everything else that came out. And with that being said, I have lost a TOTAL of 35lbs since I've been pregnant and having a baby. I can't believe it!!
I am breastfeeding, but nothing out of the unusual. Still eat like a horse..LOL.
But I am so proud, I am posting my before and after pics. I know I still got some toning to do, but I think I'm looking pretty darn good for just having a baby if I don't mind saying.  

Before, this is me at 39 1/2 weeks:

And now, 11 days after birth:


Who else wants to brave showing off their after baby belly. Doesn't matter how long ago it was. Just want some positive encouragent. My weight loss goal is HUGE, considering I was in the middle of TRYING to lose weight before I got pregnant. So I'm looking at, hopefully, another 50lbs. Anyone need a weigh tloss buddy?

And ofcourse, without any further adue...here are some pics of my GORGEOUS little one!!

Oh goodness..your baby girl is BEAUTIFUL! Aww congrats mama, you look good. I would like to shed some pounds also, but I think I will wait until after baby make it's arrival. Lookin good mama! Keep up the good work 

she is too cute! she kinda looks like Alice (poofters little girl)

anyways.

I hope i lose as much weight as you did! so far ive lost 20 pounds and gained 3 back... hopefully i keep it going as long as he is healthy im happy. i wanna lose at least 40 pounds after him thouh...

Congrats and you look AWESOME!

u look great and baby is beautiful!!!

You look great at 11 days PP!!

I started off about 30 pounds overweight...I am trying to limit the amount of weight I gain during this pregnancy. (No, I am NOT dieting, though...just not using my pregnancy as an excuse to be eating 24/7. But, when I am hungry or have a craving, I AM eating it!!) Then, afterwards, I want to get my butt moving! Before I found out I was preggo, I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight from #1, but still TWO SIZES bigger than pre-pregnancy! I REFUSE to allow that to happen with this one. My goal is to get back (very comfortably) into my size 10's ...or even into an 8/9. I want to be happy and healthy...not rail thin. That just isn't gonna happen with me!

Good luck!! You are doing great!

Okay sexi momma!!! you look wonderful!!!!! and ur baby such a darn super star... How cute!

heres me a few days before she was born

1 week PP



and the final result!!

Woo hoo!

About two weeks after I had Cadence, I had lost about 40 lbs. Just went to show how much water weight I had.   Well, that, and (tmi) the uncontrollable diarrhea I had from the penicillin during labor (I was GBS positive). I've still got 20 to go to get to pre-preggo weight, and I've got a LOT to lose after that to get to my goal weight...about 70 lbs more!

I was doing the no sugar-no flour diet (kind of like Adkins, but I just cut sugar and flour products COMPLETELY out of my diet so I didn't have to count carbs), but now I'm doing what's called the diabetic exchange...I count breads, protiens, milks, fruits, veggies, and fats, and I'm allowed a certain number each day (the only portion that changes is the breads...four days a week, I'm allowed 4 breads, the other three days I'm allowed 6 breads). The weight keeps coming off, though, so it's pretty easy to stick with!

Lookin good momma!! And your baby is such a DOLL!! I hope to get down pretty quickly, I want to wear a nice bathing suit for ONCE in my life!!

Congrats..when did you have her?

Quoting Mommy of course:“ Okay sexi momma!!! you look wonderful!!!!! and ur baby such a darn super star... How cute!”

Thank you hun!!

And please tell me you had your baby by now..I'd hate to know youre still waddling around pregnant 19 days overdue. I went 4 days past mine.

The diabetic exchange? I don't know where she found out about it, but my mom has done it off and on for years. Basically, you're allowed 4 breads four days a week and 6 for the other three, 3 fruits and 3 veggies a day (all 7 days), 5 proteins (one protein is an oz of meat, but eggs and cheese are included as proteins, too), 2 milks, and 3 fats. I'll try to google it to get you the detailed info, such as serving size, what foods count as what, etc.
