My heart goes out to my American neighbours in their suffering after their terrible,tragic ordeal.
I had my 2nd child in August 1999 and by December 1999 I still hadn't lost any weight.I was 190lbs.In January 2000 I began watching my portions,exercising,cutting out sweets etc...and by April 2000 I lost about 10 pounds.Frustrated,I began the lowcarb plan that family members had been on and I had scoffed at.I had immediate results.By my baby's 1st birthday in August 2000 I dropped 40 pounds.I also accomplished this without exercising!
In September 2000 I went on maintenance adding occasional carbs(and yes I opened the door for some "cheats"),but I still lost an additional 5 pounds.From that time to September 2001 I never lost another ounce and remained steady at the same weight.
I had my 3rd child in May 2002.I continued my lowcarb WOL throughout the pregnancy but I had added some whole grains,bran,fruit and milk to my diet.With my previous 2 children I gained 60 pounds with each.This time I had only gained 40lbs and the weight was easier to lose.By the time the baby was 6 months old I'd already returned to my prepregnancy weight of 135 lbs.
By the summer of 2003 I was 125lbs,this while being on maintenance as I was nursing.Then I became pregnant with my 4th child(a boy-born March2004).I had put on 60lbs with him despite LC'ing.He's 2 months old and I weigh 165lbs.Here I go again...
Update{Oct 2005}:the baby is 1.5 years old now and I'm yoyoing between 145-150 lbs.I worked fulltime all summer and have really gotten away from regular exercise and proper diet.Never give up tho' ...
New Update{Oct 2006): where did that year go? I went back up to 165!!!...and this while LC'ing.I went back to being very strict and exercising every day and within a month got down to 155...but still,I'd told myself I'd never get over 150 again.Sigh...I tire of the struggle but the only option is to give up and get fat and I can't allow that to happen.I'll keep ya posted on my progress.
