Well, I am even more discouraged than ever now...Since I started taking those pills (profast), I do lose weight. BUT the problem now is, the second I stop taking them I gain the weight all over again!

For example: On the 15th I was at 148, on the 17th I was at 145.5, yesterday I didn't take a pill and today I weigh 147!!!

Now I can't help but think that even if I do lose the weight through diet, exercise, and these pills...I will just gain it all back again. I just don't know what to think or do anymore. Should I just give up on the whole thing?

All I can say is I have been eating 1200 calories, did kettlebell 3 hours a week for 3 months, then started pilates, and I never shed a single pound or inches for that matter!!! I went to the doctor who after doing blood work and some other tests found I am in excellent shape and should be losing weight. And he agreed my BMI isn't healthy. That being said I am on my second day using Phentermine. I used to think diet pills were just an easy way out so people didn't have to work at losing weight, but now I know that some of us just can't lose weight no matter what we do. Sometimes we just need a little extra help. So if after following this website's guidelines for a healthy diet, and doing your regular exercises you still don't see results...talk to your doctor if it is really bothering you.

I am new on here too, and all my friends think I am crazy because I insist I did not lose any weight while bfing. Then again, none of them bfed to begin with. While I have tons of weight to lose, I did feel good when I found out one of my friends, his boss, and a coworker all saw me moments before I told him I was pregnant...and they all thought I was hot! Even though I was already in my second trimeser. That was such an ego boost. Your post just reinforces those feelings.

But I have to admit, it is a constant struggle for me to walk an hour everyday with my 10 month old, do kettlebells for an hour three days a week, and keep to my calories on here...still the scale doesn't budge! Instead I have an additional 10 pounds to lose, and no I don't think it is all muscle. I just want to fit into my prepregnancy clothes that everyone assured me I would get into again, but I am about ready to just take them to the thrift store. I am honestly just ready to give up on the whole thing, cry, and just get over it.

I am not trying to be negative, just honest.

I know tons of guys who think confidence is sexy! LOL That is awesome you have lost enough weight to feel that good about yourself. I think the only person who finds me sexy right now is my husband, and I don't even understand why. I don't even find myself sexy right now! Isn't it funny how our weight plays so much into our self-esteem? I keep telling myself it's all in my head, but I just can't get past it honestly. Sad thing is, it's all baby weight.
