Pretty sure I'm going to end up over my orignial goal of not gaining more than 30lbs (I'm already @ 20ish lbs gained with 14 weeks left!) and I can't imagine having that much to lose, even though I've done it before. I've also always been a little overweight and the biggest amongst my friends. I hope I can get motivated like you and hold myself accountable!ThoughtsONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02172703166180232809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-80752915312351617782011-02-28T19:00:37.360-06:002011-02-28T19:00:37.360-06:00Good Luck.

Unfortunately my son's birthday is this weekend, but I am hoping to make a good dent in my weight loss by the summer! Good luck!

I am seriously proud of you and think you are so beautiful (always have!). That will be nice to get active again...you will feel great! And as soon as you reach your goal, we will have a dance party, even if it's just the two of us. :) Love you.Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08710709891869948029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-40131709469085321602011-02-28T14:17:29.960-06:002011-02-28T14:17:29.960-06:00I'm right there with you!

I'm also a little worried about PPD and PPA, as I'm already treated for both depression and anxiety.Joynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-27782386267233175692011-02-28T13:13:04.544-06:002011-02-28T13:13:04.544-06:00Loved this post, Ashley.

I've totally been there. <br /><br />I am SO with you on the motivation thing! I ALWAYS have an excuse to not workout. It's sad, really. You look beautiful in those pictures & you even look beautiful now! But I know, if you don't feel good about yourself, it doesn't really matter what other people say. So, good for you for wanting to get healthy!<br /><br />p.s. I read your e-mail, totally forgot to reply. BUT thank you for the awesome tips.

Within a few days of my daughter's birth I had only 4 lbs to lose but then, due to lack of time to do anything but care for my daughter and absoluetly no time to exercise, I was about 10 lbs heavier at the end of my maternity leave than pre-pregnancy. <br /><br />Now that my daughter is 8 months old, I have finally managed to work in exercise again and I use livestrong.com for food journaling and weight tracking. I am definitely less inclined to make bad food choices when I have to write it down!<br /><br />I'm glad you posted about this even though I'm trying to eat better and am back to exercising I still have only managed to lose 0.5lb in the last month! Clearly, there is still room for some dietary tweaking.<br /><br />Good luck on your journey!Nicolehttp://knitjones.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-3042406474784170982011-02-28T11:17:42.552-06:002011-02-28T11:17:42.552-06:00Great post!

I appreciate you writing so honestly about some of the struggles you faced after Ryann was born, and I want you to know you are so not alone with the post partum anxiety. It happened to me as well and something I still struggle with occasionally. <br /><br />Your morning plan sounds great and also very realistic. Good luck, you will do great! :)Genevievehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583430603151757254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-26218199763759237762011-02-28T11:13:21.937-06:002011-02-28T11:13:21.937-06:00Wow a light just went off in my head with your pos...Wow a light just went off in my head with your post. LOL. I was wondering why I lost 10 lbs first 3 months after Zoe’s birth. Stress and anxiety (with a tiny dose of PPD)! Like you I got more comfortable with motherhood around the 6 months mark and the pounds came back double. I’m eating the same stuff pre birth but somehow the pounds keep piling up; I’m about 20lbs heavier now compared to pre-pregnancy. I think you just gave me the motivation to do something about it!Yarniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830758873195559039noreply@blogger.com
