New Work-At-Home Mom

Kyrenora

Hi there! My daughter was born a little over five months ago, and I am now at home all day taking care of her and trying to squeeze work in at every break she gives me. (I do blogging and web design.) I gained a lot of weight during the pregnancy and had to deal with Gestational Diabetes severe enough to require insulin. I've got about 60lbs to drop before I'm back at a healthy weight, so that's my goal, but once I get there, I'll probably want to go lower.

I'd love to connect with anyone in a similar position!

Great to meet you!

When I got married (about seven months before I found out I was pregnant) I weighed 120. I got up to 160 before I was even pregnant! I'm not entirely sure what changed in my routine. I then got up to about 210 right before my baby was born, and I've hardly lost any of that weight.

I once lost 70lbs in about a year, so I know I can do this, I just have to be diligent! I'm hoping to get down to 140 or even lower. I want to have more kids in the future, but I need to focus on my health to make sure that any more pregnancies I have go more smoothly.

Here's to keeping each other motivated!
