Nicole, During my pregnancy I was doing really well with my weight gain - I think I gained about 32 lbs altogether. I put on about 5-7 lbs before my pregnancy, so I needed to lose roughly 40lbs. I got half off just by the very nature of delivery a baby and breastfeeding, but the other 20 are very slowly coming off. So after 2 months I returned to work and guess what, I couldn't wear maternity clothes b/c they were too big and I couldn't wear by work wardrobe b/c they were way too tight. So I went to Target and spent roughly $200 - purchased 2 dresses, 3 pairs of pants and so tops - alas my work wardrobe! So this is something to consider. Its still hard and I feel like the only place I never carried weight (my stomach) now has a little more flab. Babies are beautiful, but they do nothing for the body...shall we get side by side full body plastic surgery? Aimee
Sign me up Aimee! I gained 50 with Michael and lost it in the last challenge. I gained 40 for Mary and still have a ways to go! I'm sure once teh reality of office clothes sets in my motivation will go into high gear.
Nicole,
