SO down about my weight.....
5 months since having my daughter.....I lost all but 4 lbs (at my 6 week appt) of baby weight that I gained during the PG (22 lbs total) and then 3 months later....I had gained 3 more.
I need some sort of motivation to do SOMETHING. I'm not big on excercise (nor do I seem to be able to find the time) and not big on fad diets nor do I have the money to join a program.
 While DH is fine with the way I am, I feel blubbery and need to tone up or lose some weight!

I usually do 3 meals....but sometimes that falls to the wayside with a 4 month old who naps for 1 hr if I'm lucky plus I work.
Sometimes I starve, sometimes I eat not so good things.
Def. don't drink enough water and I might resort to upping my caffeine intake since that's what worked pre-wedding (along with 3 24 oz sport bottles of water a day)

You should always eat your 3 meals and snack healthy snacks throughout the day. I tend do have some crabs in the morning and no more carbs during the day. I joined the gym and I feel thathas been a motivation in itself. I know it must be tough for you w/ the baby.

Re: SO down about my weight.....
www.sparkpeople.com is free and has a lot of helpful nutrition tips and daily intake tracking. I wouldn't say its a diet at all. It helps you set small goals and work toward them. It focuses more on health than rapid weight loss. The best part is that it's free.
If I told you how much I gained since having the baby and losing baby weight you would feel a lot better.

I absolutely love Sparkpeople. I like it better than WW. It is similar to myspace where you can add buddies. If you haven't already tried the website, check it out!

Re: SO down about my weight.....
I am feeling the same way. I lost almost all my pg weight and now have gained some more. I am about 8lbs above pre-pg weight. I too have no motivation for exercise and I have been so bad at controlling what I put in my mouth. I just bought a jump rope and I am trying to do 3 minutes per day. It is so hard. My heart is pounding right now. But I figure at least it is something and I can do it fast while Alex is asleep. I would like to build up to 10 minutes a day but I think it is going to take some time.

Re: SO down about my weight.....
After dinner each night, can you take the baby on a walk in the stroller?
Start making small changes like this first.
Then I would start incorporating veggie snacks into my day where I would normally eat garbage. Make sure you cut everything up though so it is just as handy as the chips or cookies.
Good luck!!
