So i am 24 years old. I have two girls. One is 3 and a half and my youngest is 6 weeks.
Right now I am 5'4 and about 155 pounds.
When I was pregnant with my first daughter I was just recovering from an eating disorder. I started my pregnancy at 115 and when I gave birth I was about 185. Throughout my first pregnancy I ate fast food and junk every day. Once I had my daughter Giana I stopped eating junk, and ate very clean and healthy and worked out some. I ended up being diagnosed with add so I was put on adderall. I went from 125 pounds down to 103 pounds. I still watched what I ate and stayed under 110 for about a year. Then my weight started rising.. two years later I'm 130-135 and I'm pregnant again with my next child..
my second pregnancy i went from 135 to 185-190. This pregnancy I did continue a light workout.. and i rarely indulged in junk food. maybe once a month I would eat a medium fry from McDonald's.. yet I gained a lot of weight.
i am 6 weeks postpartum and I am at 155. I stated working out at the gym 2 weeks after I gave birth.. I haven't lost any weight in 4 weeks.
when I mean I eat clean, I eat clean.
I eat chicken always grilled. I never eat anything fried. I eat bread and pasta wheat/whole grain, i drink tons of water, and drink diet pop. I eat healthy cereal in the morning, turkey sandwich, or salad with lite dressing. for dinner its always tons of veggi's, and some sort of lean meat. I don't eat butter, cookies, cakes, muffins, or pancakes/waffles. If I eat red meat, which is rare.. its 97% fat free. I eat fat free yogurt. Apples and oranges everyday. I don't drink juice... i never eat chips, or fatty creamy stuff. No mayo, I use evoo when cooking.... this is not a diet for me, this is how i choose to live my life, because of my past eating disorder I do not want to diet.
( i do have a small piece of chocolate everyday tho)
so then WHY did I gain so much weight during my pregnancy?? and why am I not losing the weight now?
I got to the gym 3 times a week. Run 2 miles in 22-26 minutes.. depending how much energy i have that day and then I do free weights.. by the time i leave the gym I'm completely soaked in sweat..
i am 155 pounds, and 5'4. I am in a size 13 pants..
what am i doing wrong? and how do i get this weight off?? I'm going nuts!
