Size of a pregnant woman :/



Recommended Posts

Mixed emotions. Cleaning out my closet down 43 pounds and my close friend who is 7 months pregnant came over. We were going shopping to get her maternity clothes as she is outgrowing her current ones after returning home I had her try on a few of my too big for the new me clothes. What the hell 10 shirts and 10 pants and two dresses later all of which fit a 7 month pregnant that barely fit me before deciding to get the band!!! I don't know if I should laugh or cry. I'm so happy of my success 1/3 of the way to goal but so sad that I was a size of a pregnant woman... Now if I had been pregnant maybe it wouldn't hit me so hard. 6 months ago I was the size of 1.5 people. How crazy is that??? N I didn't realize how big I was just bought bigger clothes... She was complaining about how big she had gotten she used to work out daily n eat clean but is pregnant n baby is hungry and mommy can't train like she used to. Had I been her size due to fact I had a precious baby growing inside of me maybe I wouldn't be so hurt sad disappointed at myself.

Just a bag of mixed emotions ... That I was the size of a pregnant lady yet so happy I'm no longer that size and continue to shrink... That's my success story for now although I'm still emotional ....

Just remember, you're not that person anymore. Go out and celebrate...replace all those clothes with new and smaller items. Don't buy expensive..you'll keep losing and will need to replace everything. Be proud of your accomplishments!

Thank you all I am proud if my accomplishments it just boggles my mind... I was happy to give those clothes away knowing I will never be that size again. We both started to predict what next summer will be like with our new lives me healthier n thinner and her an amazing single mom. Only good things ahead for us and everyone here :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
