I've put on a lot of weight being pregnant with my 2nd, I was under the impression that a lot of it was fluid but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere so perhaps not. I lost a stone straight afterwards but I've got about 3 to go. Because I was so ill for the final 3 months of my pregnancy I thought that once the baby arrived and I was back on my feet then the weight would fall off. I've been eating healthily, running around after my toddler and drinking lots of water to flush out my system. I've just got on the scales and in the last 2 weeks I've lost - nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I know that I need to join a weight loss group, I have one locally that I used to go to so that's not a problem, I just wanted to lose as much as I could before hand just by healthy eating and natural changes in my metabolism. I find diets hard to stick to, hence wanting to wait a bit. I had my baby 3 weeks ago, is anyone else experiencing the same difficulties? It's making me really depressed not being able to fit into even the largest clothes I own, I'm contemplating buying more maternity clothes just so I have something to wear.
I just want to start feeling 'normal' again .
