Hi all. Name changed for this.
Following the birth of my DD 18 months ago I piled a fair bit of weight on. Two stone, to be exact. I actually didn't gain much weight during the pregnancy, most of that two stone came on after she was born! My own fault, eating rubbish and being lazy.
Finally in January I had had enough of my clothes not fitting and being unhappy, so I started trying to lose weight. Since then I've gone from 12 stone to 10 stone 5 and from a size 14 to a size 10/12. The weight loss has plateaued a little due to COVID and the gym being shut, but luckily I haven't gained any weight back!
I'm almost back to my pre pregnancy weight, and yet I still sometimes feel like I don't look that much different? I still think I could do with losing more off of my belly and I still worry my waist is too thick. I don't know if it's just low confidence and I'm being too hard on myself. I know that my body will never be quite the same as it was pre pregnancy, and I suppose most of us would like to be thinner!
Can any of you see a difference? The first pic was taken the day I started my new lifestyle. I was 12st exactly. The other pic was taken yesterday at 10st 5. I'm 5'7".
Thank you 😊
