[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife gained about a 100lbs during and after pregnancy.  When she lost the weight she thanked me for never losing the passion/desire. Not hard to do because she is always a rockstar in bed.  She could gain the weight again and I wouldn’t look at her any differently.[/quote]

Your wife is a very lucky woman.   :) [/quote]

*she lost the weight, which was gained during pregnancy. Completely different story than letting herself go or not working to lose the pregnancy weight. I gained 50+ lbs with each pregnancy and lost the weight. I know quite a few women who gained 30 lbs during pregnancy, got pregnant again without losing the weight first and ended up 50+ lbs heavier than prepregnancy. They say, "pregnancy changed my body". No, you simply gave up.[/quote]

You were lucky that a doctor didn't stop you in the middle of your weight loss and prescribe a pill that would make losing weight practically impossible for you like mine did.  I was within shooting distance of my prepregnancy weight when my doctor did that.  Instead of LISTENING to me, she assumed that I just had no willpower.  That made zero sense because up until her magic pill I had been successfully shedding the weight.

Believe me, before this happened to me I would see fat people at the mall and think unkind thoughts about them.  Now I'm not so smug.

But you lost the weight! Your subsequent weight gain was due to medicine. The women I referred to  used motherhood as an excuse to eat poorly. I hope your health is better now.[/quote]

I've been doing low carb for a long time and I have lost some weight and controlled it for the most part.  When I allow carbs to creep into my diet I gain weight easily.  My body is dependent now on the medication that induced insulin resistance in me.  It's not been something that I can get off of so easily.  The good news is, I have been able to hold off developing diabetes (yay, me!).  That is huge.  The bad news is, I have not been able to ever get back down to my prepregnancy weight.

I discovered Keto recently and this diet has given me some real hope that I can get down closer to a "normal" weight through eating foods that promote weight loss in me AND exercising portion control by monitoring my macros.  So far so good.  Eff IR.[/quote]

I’m a plant based diet guy but if a keto diet works for you, look into intermittent fasting.[/quote]
