Hi all. I have come to the conclusion that the atkins diet is the way to go. Here is my recent story:
2 years ago I was 355 lbs. Over the past 2 years I had lost some weight not trying that hard but I had been maintaining that weight loss none the less. Anyway this past October I gave birth to a rolly polly baby boy. I was 5 lbs below my prepregnancy weight at the time of his birth. When I went back for the 2 month check I was down about 25 lbs from my highest weight getting down to about 330.
Cue the next 2 months. I have been eating everything in site since for some reason my eating never regulated after pregnancy. I have been just as hungry but I am not using the calories as efficantly. I am back up to 347! Yes I actualy gained 17 lbs in 2 months *choke**gasp*.
I actualy have no desire to cheat this time! I am 26 years old and would like to lose about 200 lbs total. It is nice meeting you all and I look forward to getting to know you all.

Hi Tory, welcome to the group!
Are you breastfeeding? That can spark a monumental appetite. If you ARE, you might want to consider going on Atkins Maintenance until the baby is weaned. New mothers here probably have better advice about it than I do, but that's usually the advice I see.

I wish I could blame the hunger on breastfeeding but sadly Xavier never latched on and the pump stopped getting anything at 6 weeks post partam. My hunger just never went back down to normal after feeling like I was gonna starve for 9 months and then the 6 weeks I pumped.
I am subscribed to it out of curiosity but never read it so I can't say anymore!!!
