Happy Milestone!

[wwisdomskr]

I'm only 2 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight! 2 more pounds to go!!!

I hope to make it by the end of this week...and then gain a pound a week for the rest of this pregnancy.

Now, before those of you who are having normal, healthy-weight-gaining pregnancies flame me or decide that you hate me forever...let me just tell you that I'm a "big, fine woman!" I'm 5'8" tall and my healthy, normal weight is around 150.

Before this pregnancy, I weighed 190 lbs... I was still trying to lose the weight that I gained while on Zoloft (that I took for treatment of PPD after dd2's birth).

Anyway, just thought I'd share my happy milestone. I lost so much from the hyperemesis and then had a really hard time gaining it back...

Great to hear of your success. Thanks for sharing. Grow on, majestic mama!

Go Jessica!!! No slamming here, I know how sick you've been so that is awesome

[GinaRae]

Yay!! Great job, mama!

That's awesome!!! Good for you Jessica! (I gained 12 lbs. in one month on Prozac for ppd after dd2, so I know how you feel. I promptly quit taking it when I realized how much weight I was gaining.)

good for you! yay! trying to gain can and often is just as hard (or harder) than trying to lose.. I understand! I ma so glad you are at a healthy weight

Congrats Jessica! :-)

I was a fellow hyperemesis sufferer and am now at about 5 pounds above my PP weight. I wasn't sick for as long as you though!

I know this has been a struggle for you -- glad to hear that you're getting back to where you should be! Hyperemesis does NOT sound like a fun way to lose weight.

That's good news-way to go!
