Another Breastfeedin' Mama
 

I haven't been on this site in a year or two but thought I might find other new mamas here. Sadie baby is 4 1/2 months old. I got up to 225 (40lb gain) and am now down to about 198-200. I've been hitting the gym 2-3 times a week and some days walk 3-4 miles (now that it's nice.) By DH and I just started a two week ban on cheese, ice cream and cookies. He gained a fair amount of weight during my pregnancy too. Honestly? I'll probably lose a few lbs just from cutting those out.

Since starting breastfeeding, I get sugar cravings that remind of nic fits from back in my smoking days. Absolutely insatiable. Has anyone else had this problem?

Goal weight..first 185 (prepregnancy weight)...Final goal 145.:D

Hmm, yah, I'm always wanting sweets. Figured it was a holdover from my pregnant days. :) I live by no sugar added Fudgsicles & the Weight Watchers frozen desserts. You're doing good with the loss, eh?

OK, I'm a sucker for pictures, so here's one of me & all three of my girls:

I'm so blind in that picture; I'm not wearing my glasses. That accounts for my odd expression. :lol3: That's Linda on the left, Esther in my lap of course, & Bobbie on the right. It's from just yesterday. And yes, I really am that pale.

I am now a nursing mama. Baby Jack is 5 days old. Hope to get support to get fit and eat healthy, I always gain more wait post partum than I did while pregnant.
