[quote=Anonymous]I had to eat like I wasn't pregnant. Pregnancy was shocking to me. I ate the exact same amount (very healthy, not dieting) and didn't pretend like I was eating for 2, but I still gained 35lbs (I weigh 110). After I gave birth, I only lost 10lbs and basically had to starve that last 25 lbs off. It was painful and I had to be very dedicated. I did lose all but 5lbs by 12 weeks though, but we're talking about 2-3 hours a day of walking. Every once in a while I see someone tell a pregnant woman- "don't worry about the weight, it just falls off after!" Yeah no. That didn't happen to me with any of my 3 babies. I exclusively breastfed and was an overproducer too. Breastfeeding didn't burn calories, it just made me ravenously hungry and made the weight loss harder. With baby 3 I was the most active I've ever been and ate the healthiest. I only gained 25lbs, but had a 9lb, 13 oz baby! Still blows my mind. [/quote]
