BTW I did not gain just 10 lbs lol. I gained 35, but I wish I would've been practicing No S as weight does not come off easy for me. I unfortunately am one of those women whose weight stays on until I'm finished breastfeeding. But I've known many women who've not gained much weight during pregnancy ...

It's all been put into perspective now, but I was 165 lbs with a BMI of 26.5 and I wan...
