'I learned a lot, being pregnant, watching my body change," she told Rosie. "It wasn’t until the very end [of my pregnancy] that it got to the point where I really realized that your knees and joints can only take so much. So people who have been battling weight problems their whole lives, I have this whole other understanding of what it feels like."
"I had so much edema – water and swelling...I didn’t think I’d ever be the same person," she says. "The first week, I lost 40 pounds of water." She then lost another 30 with help from "Jenny," formerly known as Jenny Craig, and she says watching her intake was a big factor.
"When you get the C-section," Carey says, "you can’t work out right away. The diet is 90 percent of it."
"The whole point of this is not just, 'look at me and my weight loss,'" she says. "It's really about health."
The thing is, I never weigh myself. I did not weigh myself. People will think I’m a liar, but it’s true," Carey told Rosie. "For me, and this is another cliché phrase, but I’m a big-boned girl, I’m a big girl, I’m tall. So I always weigh more, unless we’re going to talk 10th grade or 9th grade, that’s the last time I probably looked what I weighed"
She looks great. Good for her!!!! They were worth the weight..... A-Freaking-dorable
So cute. Great for her to loose the baby weight. I gained close to 50 lbs during my first pregnancy and the for the first time my upper thighs touched each other and I would sweat when I wore skirts. I realized too how heavy people feel. I didn't stress though cause I was so happy for being a mommy. The weight was gone just going back to my healthy eating habits and the lifestyle of a busy mom with no help.
