My Daughter Is 2 and I Am Gaining Weight.

I am gaining weight instead of losing weight. I even have a pooch. I went to see my gyno and she put me on birth control pills even though my tubes are tied. I cannot figure out what's going on with my body. Has anyone experienced this. I lost weight really quickly with my 1st child. Any suggestions will help. I'm 5'2 so every extra pound feels like 10! Yuck.

What can I do next?

It's often harder to lose wieght after each baby is born. I have three and haven't lost weight either. Makes me sick sometimes that I have extra pounds on me- I'm 4'11 so it looks really bad.
I find that if I stick to this schedule I don't gain weight- I drink water 24/7 and exercise 30 minutes 3 x a week and don't eat anything after 7pm. I don't stick to the last one that why I think I haven't lost any weight.
Try these things and I hope you have some success.
Good Luck,
Leti

Hi J.,

I had some trouble losing weight after my second baby came along. It gets harder with each one and with age too. The birth control you are taking may cause weight gain, I have my tubes tied too just so i would never have to go back on the pill because they all made me gain weight and caused headaches. Just gotta get on that treadmill and see if you just need a little exercise. I also finish my kids plates - that is funny and good to know I'm not the only one!! I am 5'1 and could lose a good 30 pounds to be happy and healthy I'm sure but it is soo hard.

What area do you live in? I am a sahm to three rugrats and we live in the woodlands. we like to hang out at pump it up, jumpin jaks and incredible pizza...when we can afford it. There are a lot of great parks and trails in the woodlands too.

J.,
I don't want to alarm you, but something else you might want to think about is your Thyroid. I had a Thyroid problem with my last pregnancy. Only mine was the opposite effect, I was losing weight when I supposed to be gaining during my pregnancy. But it couldn't hurt to get it checked out. Just a suggestion.

J.,
your request reminded me of my weight gain issue.. I stated gaining weight again when my baby started eating solids instead of the yucky jar food.. now, i eat his left overs and since he became a picky eater there is a lot on his plate for me to eat. I guess we should just stop finishing their plates for them!
