After 1 week since giving birth I have lost a total of 27.5 pounds. That puts me at 4.5 pounds from my starting weight. Yee haw! Soon I will get an elliptical machine and I will be able to flatten my belly so that I can button the top button of my jeans once again, lol. I was so worried that the baby weight would stick around this time but I have been very lucky. It may have something to do with the fact that I am a total milk factory and pumping milk is helping me burn calories. I really have no idea. Anyhow, my IPs don't need the milk so I will be donating it. :)
This will be the place to read about my 4 journeys as a gestational surrogate and my hectic life with 2 kiddos. I may even share some recipes from time to time. Check it out frequently for the latest happenings. :)

wow girl! looking good! If that's not an advertisement for breast feeding I don't know what is! (always worked for me too)
ReplyDeleteThat's so great you're donating your milk. How long will you pump?
yay for Breastfeeding! And ellipticals rock! I'm using mine again after a long period of laziness.
ReplyDeleteHave you already contacted a milk donation site? I tried to donate mine with Trevor and nowhere in NC was taking milk at the time--even Atlanta said their freezers were full! I guess that's a good problem to have, but I really wanted to donate. :)~
Have a good week hon!
SO GLAD YOURE NOT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT WEIGHT!! THAT IS AWESOME!
