Hi everyone!
Wow... The other night I could not sleep and so I was searching apps on my iphone and came across my fitness pal. It seems like such a great site with all the tools that you can need to get motivated! And I am feeling motivated. And dedicated.
I had a baby 9 months ago and reached my all time high weight of 242 pounds(110kg) (oh good to know... I a tall one... 6'1''). Oh my god. That hurts to write. But that was at 40 weeks pregnant. So after birth I was 222 (101 kg) pounds and since then I have slooooooowly, waaaaaayyyy to slooooooooooowly been loosing. I am now at 207 (94 kg). Prior to getting pregnant I was too big and wanted to do something about it but just was not taking control.
I truly have had a hard time looking at body and all my clothes have been uncomfortable and I have just been uncomfortable in my own skin. So enough is enough! Time to make an honest effort. Take control of how I treat my body, what I put in my mouth, how much I move and how nice I am to myself.
So my goal? I am getting married next summer to the love of my life. To my babies daddy. So I have put June first as my goal date. And until then I would like to be at 170 (78kg) give or take a few. Feels like a good number for a 6'1'' girl. It feels a little overwhelming since I have never ever had to loose this much weight before. I have maybe had 20 pounds max so this feel really hard.
But I can do it!
