While pregnant, I went from 200 to 285. In the four weeks after I gave birth, I effortlessly lost 40 pounds. After recovering from giving birth, I had my gallbladder and wisdom teeth removed. After that, my son had to have a surgery. Finally, I was able to begin exercising. I also committed to eating better. Somehow I gained back 6 pounds! On May 21, I began counting calories and have lost 9.6 pounds in the three weeks since. Weighing 242.5 was my halfway mark, and I'm now below that!

After giving birth (I was on an IV for a long time, so I was pretty puffy!)


This past weekend

Congrats on getting below halfway! That's wonderful!

Congratulations, you're doing great!

Great Job!! I know how hard it can be to lose baby weight.. and you're doing an amazing job! 40 lbs in 4 weeks is amazing!

Thanks! I just hate knowing that it took 6 months to lose the EASY half of 85 pounds.
