in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone,
I am semi new here, I have been using the App for a couple of weeks now. I have to say that I love it. I'm 27 years old with 3 children. All boys ages 4 and 21month twins. Bed rest with both pregnancies really did me in. Gaining 80lbs with my first and 52lbs with my second. Like most people on here I have been sruggling to get the weight off. After my first born I did weigh over 200lbs when I came home from the hospital. Not happy! So I worked very hard and I lost 60lbs then 2 years to the day I was pregnant again. Determend not to gain alot I was exercising regularly until I found out there were two in my belly and the doctor told me I was only allowed to walk because of my history of preterm labor and delivery. Bedrest from 20weeks on I only gained 52lbs but still about 20lbs of it stayed around making me 168lbs. Over the past year I have yoyo'd (not good). I know I do not have that far to go. I'm 141lbs and about 24lbs until I hit my goal weight (117lbs.) I havent been that weight since I started having children. I am 5'1 and technically I am overweight and have BF of 31%. Which is really hard for me to grasp. I am wanting to be in the personal training field and maybe competing in Ms. Fitness some day. Getting this weight off has really been hard. You can't have a FAT personal trainer! Anyway, I have faith that it will all come off as I am on 2 a daysx6 and a very stricked diet with 1 cheat day and one fast day. I really have started to enjoy running and have ran my first 10k last weekend. anyway, I do need more friends on here and some support. As many of you probably understand its really hard to diet when you have kiddo's! I just do not have the energy like I use to!LOL, This week has been great as I have lost 4 lbs in the last week. So here's to getting this weight off for good and keeping it off.:happy:
