Though Im really not motivated to take pictures. hmmm.
I am a solid 12 lbs higher than our last biggest loser.

Do not feel bad. I just found a pic of one of my weigh ins from the first biggest loser that I joined. Um, I wish I was that weight now and then I thought I was a failure :( I think I have gained weight since I delivered last Nov. I am at my all time highest weight and I am so scared to take a pic.

I will post a pic, but I am not posting the skin ones till I actually lose and have results. Then I will post them. I am only posting ones right now in a shirt and shorts. I cannot handle it and letting people see my weight right now is enough to motivate me to not be this # anymore.

You are not alone. We can do this together. I haven't even stepped on the scale in days because I know it's baaaaaad. So depressing. So let's change it!

Dude, me too. And it's growing by the day.

I'm regrouping and trying to figure out a new approach, because what I was doing clearly isn't working now.

Come play... we can be depressed together... LOL!

i'm sorry to be happy about this, but i'm SO glad i'm not the only one.

my goal for round 1 is to lose the 15 pounds i gained since the last time i was in MSBL. and it might be more than 15 since i haven't been on the scale in about 3 weeks. :bag

erin - me too! even though i have not gained a ton during this pregnancy, i tore my shoulder tendon in March and had to stop ALL exercise - the 2 months before i got pregnant i gained 10 pounds, and the 2 weeks of IVF drugs put on another 5 - so i was up about 15 right before i fell pregnant.

*sigh*

i think it will be a fabulous group because we all seem to be in a similar boat.

I'm up 10 from last BL. I stopped breastfeeding and instantly gained 10 lbs.

breastfeed was the key to my success before. does anyone have a baby to lend me?

you see, i am the total opposite...

i don't gain a lot during the pregnancy itself, i have tended to lost the majority of the actual pregnancy gain within a few quick weeks.

but THEN i get so ravenously hungry breastfeeding. and i don't want to workout because my boobs are too huge/painful. and of course there is no baby in my belly stopping me from eating a ton - so i will put on 15-20 pounds in the 8 months AFTER the birth.

i had gained nearly 20 pounds after claras birth, which i took off with the assistance of a personal trainer just around her first birthday - after i weaned her at nearly 10 months old.

i am also going to be satisfied if i don't GAIN weight during the spring/summer.

Oh hell no, I'm right there with you. And I understand the relief.

I'm particularly frustrated because I've been running/working out this whole time... I ran through the summer, the half with Dorian and Erin in November, and then another half the first weekend of December. I've kept my mileage up the whole time... and run myself straight into a 15 lb weight gain. WTF...

So I'm actually on hiatus from running right now... this morning was the first Saturday morning in I don't know how long that didn't involve 8+ miles. And honestly, I'm super sad about it... but I think it's obvious at this point that I need to change my approach -- where I'm exercising less and eating less. I'm going to take 12 weeks off from running, go back to super basic low-impact cardio (and weights and pilates, as always), and cut down to about 1500 calories a day and see what happens.

So yeah, grr. :)

Erin · Guru

yeah, I hate to say misery loves company, but I AM glad Im not the only one. I was pretty frustrated at the end of the last MSBL, cause I didnt lose anything for about three rounds, though I was working hard, and now, I would kill to be there.

goal number one: Fit in my fat pants without having to leave the button undone (you know, the ones I bought after maternity leave that were just for a few months so I could go back to work).

goal number two: be able to button a suit jacket and a few work shirts that again, I bought just to hold me over until I lost the baby weight. Yup, dont fit in them either.

I swear I keep telling myself I have no CHOICE but to lose weight. We are so broke, and I cannot afford new clothes. lol. I just need to fit into the 2 closests worth I already own.

Love you guys!

I just realized this is the last night I can drink until March.

I don't care if I had a migraine this morning, I'm drinking.

Me too! Just got home from the "last hurrah" dinner with DH - lots of pasta, lava cake and wine. Worth every morsel!

lmao-I feel the exact same!!!

Having never been in one of the MSBL rounds, I haven't seen any of the pics, but I will be more than happy to take pics, both clothed and in just sports bra type attire, but I am not terribly interested in posting anything but the clothed atm.

I actually took some this summer when I was starting a program. I am about the same weight (maybe 2 pounds lighter) than I was then, so I don't think taking the pics will be too traumatic.

I am excited to be doing this with all of you!!! I really need it-and I think it will help me with my UC symptoms right now too because when I am having issues (as I have been), bland food sits bets. But yet we still keep going to parties and such, and there is all this crap I feel obligated to eat!!!

I know I haven't been around much lately :bag.

I got on the scale today and had a freaking heart attack. I am up past my caution weight. I am so surprised that alarm bells didn't go off.

Can I join y'all?

3 months sounds great, weigh in on Tuesdays sound great, having support sounds awesome.

And, it will force me to log in, instead of lying down on the couch all damn evening. :brainless
