MamaBearEst2016 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I decided to start running recently after I got tired of avoiding mirrors and using headaches as an excuse to keep my husband on his side of the bed at night. I have an athletic body build and most of my life I've been just fine with how I looked. During my pregnancy I gained 50lbs and everyone kept telling me it'll melt off once you have the baby and you'll bounce right back. Well bounce back I did not. It has now been almost 11 months since our daughter was born and I have maintained most of the weight I gained when I was 9 months pregnant. So I decided to actually do something about it. I've never felt more uncomfortable in my own skin and I'm hoping that not only will I be able to lose a little weight during this but that I will actually come to love my body again.

LifeAsMrsA Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hey mamabear! I'm in the same boat! I actually weight more now than I did right after birth. So much for breast feeding melting the weight away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaBearEst2016 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Amen to that! Breastfeeding is amazing and I've loved every second of it but I think it's helped my body cling on to the weight I gained. I'm so happy to know there are other moms in my same position that are doing something about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
