The day I delivered Kennedy, I weighed 200.2 pounds. I was not small during my pregnancy. While I don't feel I ate that much more than usual, I did eat quite a bit. I also skipped out on a whole lot of exercise. I would go on hikes, but usually only once a week or so.
I am currently down to about 170 pounds. I am about 5'10", but I am about 10 pounds over what I would like to be.
While breastfeeding, quick fixes aren't really reccomended. I would love to do a 1,000 calorie a day diet, but I care more about nourishing my baby than losing that last ten pounds. I have, however, tried to cut back on some calories, mainly those calories that aren't the good ones.
I also cut milk out of my diet, and for those who know me, knows this means I love my child. I usually consume about 1 gallon in 48-72 hours. I've only made this change within the last week, and I can already tell it's affecting her (spitting up much less) and me (less bloating).
Today, I saw someone post about these sugar-free gummy bears, and I about died laughing!
Have any of you tried any extreme dieting? If so, which one? How'd it go?
I want to live through you until I can do it!
I've never shared this picture before, because it isn't very flattering, but it's the first time I've ever held my sweet baby Kennedy.
