re: post partum bodies

Quoting Karla & Adrian:“ what do yuu do lol”

I eat well.. mostly protein and fiber.. It has become a lifestyle for me to be aware of what I am putting into my body and how I use it.. I know that if I eat junk I must make up for it by eating enough fiber for my body to flush it out...
I also try to squeeze my muscles with everything I do... and try to keep moving even ifI amjust tapping a foot.. Everything today in society is made so convenient but our bodies are not made to just sit around... I try to keep in mind, if I am sitting for a long period of time.. I need to make up for it somehow.. it is all about balance.... if you are not able to be active throughout your day... you will have to have a workout session.. whether it be at home or the gym.. my at home tips are on my page

did u get any stretchies?

This is 2 months pp, I gained 50 lbs, in this pic I have about 15 left to lose, in the last 2 weeks or so I have lost about 2lbs.
So I am seeing some improvement, I was hoping I could get into some of my clothes this summer, but I don't know if that is going to happen, it isn't as discouraging as I thought it was going to be, I know the rest of the weight is going to take some work, if I can just put the ice cream down, lol.

Thanks  I only feel bad about it when I can't find anything to wear, lol.

Quoting SubLowE:“ did u get any stretchies?”

yes.. i got fine ones on my butt that you can't see anymore (my butt actually shrank during pregnancy but my hips got HUGE) and a few right under my navel... that i got the day she was due!! lol she dropped and it is weird because they never turned pink or purple... just little skin color lines that you can see in certain lighting

you look great!!! 2 months.. thats awesome!

Quoting CadyRayne'sMama :“ you look great!!! 2 months.. thats awesome!”

Thanks, I read through your advice, that is pretty much what I do. It isn't easy living with a husband who doesnt have to watch what he eats.
Being a PT has always been kind of a dream job of mine, it seems like it would be kinda fun and rewarding.

that's exactly what happened to me! On my due date I noticed them and she didn't come for 4 more days.

Yeah I am 10 weeks pp and still have it, I think it is going to take some work to loose. It is getting smaller so I know it is going away, just a little slower now than it did in the first couple of weeks.
My LO does really seem to enjoy kicking it though, lol, I wish that would make it smaller.

Yeah  I would love it to go away!! I would think bfing at the rate I do would make it disappear but no go!!.. Claire does enjoy laying on it lol.. Men have it so easy!!

I think BF is the only reason I have lost most of my weight, I have also started walking around town and trying to do short workouts with him in my arms and stuff, it just isn't gonna happen overnight.

so do u think BF helps with weightloss? cuz im getting mixed messages about this subject. alot of people say that ur body holds on to the stored fat while u BF ... that u pretty much hit plateu at some point duting BF and then once u stop BF ull end up loosing more weight
