Weight loss

[leanne1b]

Hi,
I only ever come on here to whinge it seems. Sorry, its just I guessed (possily) hope someones in the same boat. The August mums might remember my shocking weight gain in pregnancy (bit over 5 stone!) now, I don't knw what I thought would happen with it coming off, but in the first two weeks pp, I lost 2 stone (Im not breastfeeding). Great. But in the three and a half weeks since I've only lost 3 pounds, and Im eating really healthy, only about 1400 cals a day, and just to top off how Im feeling, this is really getting to me too. I was 11 st 7 when I got pregnant, Im now 14st 9, Im still wearing maternity clothes, I hate my body, I wont let my bf near me (not that I anywhere close to being in the mood, but I cant even change for bed in the same room as him.
Sorry I know theres nothing I can do, just needed to say it x

Don't put so much pressure on yourself! You and your body just did something amazing and it's going to take some time to recover - rather than count the calories (you might find your body needs more than 1400 a day to heal) just stick to a healthy balanced diet and the weight will come off gradually as LO keeps you on your toes!

As for your OH, you just gave him a child - I imagine he loves you more than ever now and doesn't care what you look like

Hey Leanne, I'm pretty similar I think, I put on 4 stone, lost 2 within 10 days, and now nothing. And I'm breastfeeding, and not eating any rubbish anymore.
Yesterday I went shopping for clothes and totally depressed myself by realising the size 12 jeans had no chance yet. I started pregnancy size 8.

Plus my skin has decided to break out to, not once did it happen in pregnancy and I was being sponsored by mr kiplings!

As soon as that 6 weeks hits, I'm off to some classes at the gym.
My last pregnancy I only put on 2 stone, and it was gone within a month after. Not so lucky this time!

Tell me about it with the skin. Was a bit worse than normal in pregnancy, but nothing compared to this. I look awful! Yeah I was a v comfortable size 14 when I got pregnant... 14 prob a bit loose on me... now, 18+!
True about my partner, thanks Inky.
I'll be 6 wks postpartum on Friday... but I go back to ui on monday (thinking about it I want to cry, so I physically wont have the time to go to the gym, exercise full stop actually, as Im in 5 days a week, doing homework etc, and then spending time with the kids. So Im stuck being this bloody whale!
Sorry, obviously feeling a bit sorry for myself
