And it has begun...

Anyone who tells you "the pregnancy weight just falls off if you are nursing" is lying! At least that is how it is for me. The initial 25 lbs came off fast, but since then it has been slow going. Drastic times call for drastic measures my friends. Starting today no more sugar. That's right, no more candy, baked goods, treats, etc. I eat pretty healthy, it's just sugar- it is my downfall. Wish me luck.

I kind of started the same thing TODAY, too! I need the last 10 pounds off. I just started WW so I can have some sugar every once in a while - but I've got to limit my treat intake! :)

GOOD luck to us both!

ah yes. story of my life. i was JUST talking to becky about this yesterday. the first 20lbs came off with no effort and then for some reason the last 15 my body is HOLDING ONTO just because i am nursing. it is actually rediculous because i have tried everything with no luck. i went to the doctor who explained that some women just hold onto the last bit of weight while nursing to be able to provide milk for the baby, idk. good luck! are you still nursing him then?

Yep, I am still nursing. Steve and I researched the medication a bit more and decided that the pros of BF out way the possible side effects.

BF has never helped me lose it. Though I do have friends who lost it as soon as they stopped- though that didn't work for me, either!
