I honestly regret getting my tubes tied!! After my 3rd child (who is now 10mo) I decided I was done having kids. I've…

It's possible some of it is from getting your tubes tied, but I'd say also a combination of having had three babies. I've gone up and down in sizes myself and it's not from anything specific I know of.

You look pretty young so I'm not sure if age has anything to do with it. Our metabolisms generally start slowing down in mid to late 30's, but we still have the same eating habits and that can lead to weight gain.

Do you exercise and eat pretty healthy?

Well months ago when I started noticing the weight gain I got a gym membership and started doing cardio exercises 3 or 4 times a week with a trainer. I started eating clean and was also breast feeding which I still do. I was still gaining weight so I gave up on it. Which I plan on starting back. We just moved to another state so Im trying to look at my options. And Im only 26 so my metabolism shouldn't have slown down that much right? @rhealize

Your age shouldn't be a factor then. It's possible when you were going to the gym you misinterpreted your weight gain. A lot of times you'll start gaining muscle before losing fat, and the former weighs more.

You can look on YouTube for videos you can follow at home until you find a gym you like, or if you find you like working out at home you can stick with that. 😊 Remember, just cardio won't always make you lose weight. You'll want to build some muscle to give yourself a more defined shape too. More muscle also helps burn more calories. (pilates is my favorite. Lots of variety in types of workouts.)

Breastfeeding does make weight loss harder, too, since your body is working harder on providing for your baby than it is maintaining the shape you'd like. I started losing my baby weight a lot faster once my youngest was done breastfeeding.

Sorry for the long post 😂 I hope some of it is helpful.

Pilates is alot to do with flexibility and breathing right? Or is that yoga? Lol its just I never had to worry about my weight before so Im kinda in denial. I guess I don't want to except that fact that this comes with having 3 kids. Thanks for your help!

@rhealize breast feeding sucked me dry all the way dry

Yup that is what it will do to you. I gain so much weight and had the hardest time getting it off. After i did my tubal reversal, i was able to lose a lot of weight. I also notice i had no more migraines, and my periods lasted 3 days compare to 6. No more menstrual cramping, and much more. I will not get them toed again after this baby. No way, i will have to do something else for bc.

Yea I've noticed my period would last a whole week ever since I had a tubal. I've thought alot about reversing it. @pinkblossom99

@pinkblossom99 did you have to pay for the procedure on your own?

Yes, i think only military and not all pay for it. Plus most surgeons will not take insurance, just cash. I paid over 6200 for only surgery. Plus traveling.

But to be honest it was worth it. They are many ladies who get them reversed because of the side effects from having them tied.

Yes I've read up on many articles about women going thru the side effects. I wish I would've known before getting it done. @pinkblossom99
