Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. I am Kisha, 21 and just had my first baby on December 14. I was 244 when I delivered, and have been busting my tail to get all that weight off and be healthy while nursing. Whew it's not easy

Whoa, you lost 55lbs since Dec. 14???

Hi Kisha and

Wow - 21 and just your first baby. Congratulations My sister turned 21 just 3 months after delivering her first baby (boy was she glad her birthday wasn't while being pregnant).

Is 244 your weight while still pregnant? I would think that immediately you would lose quite a bit of weight from the delivery - but having not been through it myself I couldn't say for what amount. 55 lbs does sound like alot in 6 weeks. What was your pre-pregnancy weight?

Anyhoo welcome to the boards and i hope to see you around heaps.

Thanks everyone, I did lose 20lbs of initial baby weight. That came right off, but then I didn't lose any for a week. I started exercising after that and have adopted completely healthy eating habits. Thats when the extra 35lbs came off. I figure it's been hard working out and taking them off so I get to count them all. Now I am down to losing about 3 lbs a week which I feel is normal. I am giving myself until December to reach my goal of 64 more lbs. I must say though it is really hard to not go in the kitchen and eat everything in the fridge. I am definitely an emotional eater, and I would say emotions are at an all time high right now.
