Default July Group Weight Loss Total

It's that tiiiiiime...SHOW US YOUR TOTAL! My weigh in day is Sunday, and I've skipped it for the past few weeks, but I'll probably go this weekend, so I'll have an update (hopefully!) Tuesday. Don't think I've lost, but not gained either (I've been on strike a bit for the past month). I'm under 200lbs, so I'm okay with treading water til I 'got game' again.

Here's what I have from last month, post an update, and throw your total in the hat if you're not on the list yet:

71 ~ Steph
15 ~ Vicki
31 ~ Chrystie
12.6 ~ Robin
31.4 ~ Tammy
55 ~ Kayla
4 ~ Laura
56 ~ Jenna
11 ~ Sarah
36.4 ~ Heather
40 ~ Karen
33 ~ Dr.Kayla
8.5 ~ Bina
27 ~ Christie
36 ~ Kelly
4 ~ Cassie
6 ~ Rebecca (rac)
30 ~ Jend
5.4 ~ Rhea (Claire)

New total as I get updates: 508.9Lbs!!!

Hello - I would love to join you guys. I was already 20 pounds up when I started my last IVF. I am down 30 pounds from delivery - and I do think I still have some fluid. I can't believe I am still swelling. After 11 weeks of bedrest - my body is like jello - so my body is like jello right now.

I have my follow up appt. with my ob on 7/2 - hopefully he'll give me the ok to at least start some form of exercise.

I also have to do a little better with my diet. With Andrew in the NICU my eating is sporadic and the choices are not always good ones. I want to start today...but know realistically - I won't be completely dedicated until Andrew is home with me.

Does anyone know if it is a myth about breast feeding and weightloss??? Someone told me you don't notice it until you stop - and that while you are breast feeding your body holds onto the fat and calories to make sure you are producing millk?? Who knows...either way - the weight loss seems to have slowed down !

Thanks,
Jen

I do know that BF helps shrink your uterus, but BF and the weight loss I DIDNT notice...

for the 1st few weeks of BF each time Alyssa would latch on I would also feel contractions in my uterus, helping it shrink down to normal size. Within a few weeks those feelings were gone.

Jend- My doctor told me that bfeeding burns like 400 calories a day (I can't really remember.. I didn't nurse but for 10 or so weeks). I was DEFINITELY more hungry when nursing.

Robin that is wonderful! Keep up the great work! Are you buying the WW meals or making them yourself?
