After my first pregnancy, I was back to my original ~115 lbs weight within about 3 months. After my second child, it took me 6 months to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of ~118 lbs. Now, finally, almost 2 1/2 years after the birth of #3, have I made it back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 124 lbs (down from 166 lbs on the day of her birth). Ignore the gradual increase in weight as time progresses, I can live with that. Just focus on the 124 lbs.
Since I started writing my qualifying exams, I have done nothing but eat, snack, eat, snack and drink while I write. It doesn't help that we have loads of Halloween candy left, and I can't stop. I'm facing a month of qualifying exams. Would anyone hazard to guess what I will weigh on December 13th when this is all over? Or how much I will weigh after the winter break? Feel free to leave estimates behind. I promise I will weigh myself on December 13th, and put up an honest answer (shudder...)
less than me.
ReplyDeletei just want you both to know, good luck. we're all counting on you.
Thanks I appreciate the vote of confidence. I'm thinking it'll be 4-6 lbs by Dec 13, and addition 2-4 over the holiday break.
ReplyDeleteNote: I don't fuss excessively about my weight. If I did that in my weight class I'd be anorexic. But I did have to work hard after #3 to get to where I am now. I'd like to keep it that way, but these darned quals!
