Just Venting.....

Before you read this, if you are one of those girls who is skinny and loses your pregnancy weight right after having your baby, please don't be a bitch and comment about how great you look and brag about it and what you can wear because frankly, I don't give a shit.....
**
I want to get back down to 145 (my pre-pregnancy weight)- well, just a few days ago, I was at 167, this morning, 170, then mid-morning, 171.4 and then back to 170.2 and now I'm 172...ALL IN ONE F-ING DAY!!!! I'm taking the strongest diuretic (Furosimide, AKA Latex), work my TAIL off, take Phentermine and NOTHING. Makes me NOT want to have anymore children - I will NEVER regret the one I have, but not sure I want more on account of this weight issue. I start to lose weight because of this diuretic, then I ovulate and gain 5-6 lbs, then by the time I get that off, I start my f-ing period and gain 8, then by the time I get that water weight off, I ovulate again - it's a neverending cycle and I'm fucking sick of being a female! No, I can't do anything about it, but GOD! I'm just so angry because before I got pregnant, I drank beer like crazy, did NOT exercise, did NOT take care of myself and never had to try to lose weight - I just kept it off. Now Ijog vigorously for an hour per day, watch closely what I eat, do NOT drink or do anything to polute my system, and NOTHING....I have this fucking water weight.....I can't win and NEVER used to gain weight when I ovulated and only gained 2 lbs at most during my menstral cycle. I'm just to the point that I don't want to even be in public because I"m so disgusted by the way I look.

So now, I have 27 to lose, instead of 20, which I was at almost two weeks ago.....and I want to get down to 145 by August 7th when I go to Chicago and see all my fucking skinny friends - sure, they know I just had a baby and don't judge me, but dammit, they would make MOST people (even really thin girls) look fat.

Anyway, just want to vent.

I know what you mean, i wish i was on of those girls, but nope, i'm just like you, i was about 135 pre pregancy, 186 at the end, 2 weeks after i was 166, now 8 weeks pp and i'm still about 160, i'm sorry you feel bad about your self but don't worry your not alone

See, you're losing weight a lot quicker than I am...which I'm very happy for you, by the way, because you're not one of those bitches who brags to people like me who feels depressed about my appearance.....God, I hate those girls...and these fucking celebrities who lose the weight right away and have articles in magazines saying "how I lost my pregnancy weight" - God, that makes me sick...the REAL world doesn't work that way - I'm not buying it when they say "oh I just walk and have one day wehre I pig out" BLAH BLAH BLAH...MUST BE FUCKING NICE TO HAVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL CHEF AND TRAINER!

I'm just mad because I work my tail off and I gain water weight and it doesn't stop...I'm ovulating right now and that's why I'm gaining, but by the time I get it off, I will be on my fucking period again.......I'm definitely NOT having anymore children, that's for sure!

I lost all my babby weight 2 weeks after having him..... 





























NOT!
I totally know what youre saying.....I never used to watch my diet or work out befoe being pregnant...but after having him (and its been a while-hes 6 months) I put on everytime I eat something I shouldnt.....it sucks!!!!! nate was totally worth it-but dont stress your nt alone.

maybe try not to weigh yourself so often....maybe once a week?

Dont get fustrated   I know its hard not to , but the weight will come off ... Most of the time , for most moms it takes the first year to get back to your pre prego weight. Several of my friends went through that ... my best friend gained 87lbs and it took just at a year mark to lose all of it , but she did .... However things could always be worse , I gained 30lbs with my daughter lost all but 5lbs right after birth (it was mostly water weight , my limbs looked like tree trunks   ) but a month pp I gained 45lbs all in one week due to a messed up thyroid and now I cantlosethe weight ...   Just keep your head up momma , You'll lose it

It just frustrates me because I just can't win with this one - no matter what I do, NOTHING happens....it takes about 3 weeks just to keep three fucking pounds off on account of water weight....at this rate, I should get everything off sometime next year........

Yeah, I have Hypothyroidism but it's controlled right now - I wish that were the issue so that I could get my levels changed on my meds and get this weight off. I gained 63, lost 20 10 days PP (I had my son January 31st), the didn't lose anything again until April, and since then, well, it's hard to say because I keep gaining this fucking water weight that won't come off and I'm even on the strongest diuretic possible - this helped me when I was NOT in remission for my kidney disease some years ago and now it doesn't work at all. I've had my kidneys and liver checked and they're perfectly normal. Just pisses me off!

Yeah, I had a half of a sandwhich using fat free dijonaise, fat free cheese, low sodium ham and on whole grain bread and I gained weight off that. I can't even enjoy food anymore because I gain after eating everything - I guess I could just eat lettuce and oranges all the time and keep it off....but FUCK! My fucking husband eats like a human garbage disposal, drinks beer like there's a shortage, barely exercises and loses 20 GD pounds.

i know what you mean. i was 150 ish PP 190 on the day i delivered 180 something going home and now i'm stuck at 170-172. its so damn annoying, i start school in august but i look gross and don't wanna go back.

my sister had a baby 2 weeks a ago and is as skinny as before with no stretchies. she got the good genes

So you and I are pretty much in the same weight range then....yeah, I'm lucky I'm going to school online because then I don't have to be in public.....but honestly, I go to the gym (YMCA) and there are people twice my age (I just turned 29) who are in fantastic shape and then there's me who can't lose weight for the life of me. I thought I would have this weight off by now but of course I don't - of course I'm huge and it just sucks. I'd be happy at 155 if that's all I could do by August 7th.....

I feel your pain.

I just can't get my baby weight off, and I want to lose more than just that.

I started Atkins a couple weeks ago and I am finally starting to see the rest of my baby weight go away (my son is 9 months). Quite frankly, I don't give a damn if it's unhealthy or if it's going to make my cholesterol go up, I just want the weight to go away.

Oh I understand - I could care less about being perfectly healthy - sure, for my son's sake, I take better care of myself, but at the same time, I'm on Phentermine, a low-dosage prescription amphetamine (yes, it's legal, and NO, I do NOT use drugs) and you know that's not the healthiest thing, either, but I just need to lose it by August 7th when I go to Chicago and this is just very frustrating. Glad your diet works - I was on the Scarsdale Diet and that was working but it stopped when I started ovulating again and started gaining all this water weight...NOTHING works because of ovulation and my period.

i think i have till like aug 16th or something. i don't know. what size do you wear? i can fit snugly in my PP jeans 9/10 but new jeans have to be from a 12 to a 15..
i would be happy if my belly went down. i think i still look preggo...

Hmm, that seems so odd. Do you eat more when you are on your period and/or ovulating? I used to crave fast food in a bad way when I was ovulating and I would always gain weight at that time.

It seems like even if you gained a couple pounds water weight that it would go away after your period was over.

I know it's terrible but I want the weight off so bad that I don't care if what I am doing is unhealthy. I feel like I've tried everything.
