Trying to be a healthier me!

Hello, I'm Dawn.
I live in a small town within Wales.
I had my daughter two years ago and I let my diet go and now I am paying for it.
I hope I can meet some new people, I really need the motivation!

Hi Dawn,

I'm new here. This is the first time I've reached out. I understand your situation. I too have let my diet go too and wish to get it back. I was in great shape all my life and even bounced back pretty quickly after having two kids. Working out and eating healthy, although challenging at times, was always a priority and I enjoyed the results. Now that my kids are older, (11 & 13) I have gained about 7-10 lbs. I'd like to get back to my previous healthy, fit weight, but I'm finding it to be much harder now. I logged my first day of food yesterday and it said if I keep having days like that, I will weigh 2 lbs more in 5 weeks! Help! This is so hard! I only ate 1500 cal! It says I have to keep it to 1200. OMGosh! I really want to stick with it, but I need motivation!

What are you finding to be the most challenging? Btw, I'm 5' 1" and currently weigh 110. I simply want to get back to my wedding weight, which was 103. I maintained a weight of 95-103 for my whole adult life. It's only been in the last two years that I've gained.

What are your weight goals?

Warm regards,
Michelle
