Finally losing some weight after stillborn baby

[monymom74]

What a difficult couple of months I've had...My baby boy was born still on October 15, 2010. He was full term and it was so unexpected.

One of the hardest things I have experienced is still looking pregnant a month after and not having my baby to show off and say..."give me a break I just had a baby"

I started a program on Dec. 5th with a company I am part of, they have come up with a new weightloss system and I am SO excited. I have lost 12 pounds in 3 weeks and just in my waist I lost 4 inches. I have a long way to go but, this had helped me so much with my grieving process..I go to the gym and do cardio and some days I cry on that treadmill but other days I work so hard. It's been a little piece of excitement in the last couple of months. I don't mean to be on here to "sell" anything but if anyone is struggling and wants to give this a try please message me and I'll pass on the information. My ultmate GOAL is to lose some weight so that I can TTC again, so the faster it comes off the sooner we can try again.
"start with baby steps..."

monymom74, I think what you're doing is great. I lost my son at 10weeks Jan. 18, 2011. I was really over weight when my dh and I concieved him....still am, but I started working out yesterday myself. I've never had motivation b/f to do it, just been to lazy I guess, but I'm going to lose the weight in honor of my son. I want this weight gone so I can ttc again to. Keep up the good work!
