Hello,
I am 27 years old, a mother of 2 children, and a wife of 5 years. I was always mid small when I was younger, and got pregnant with my son, who is now 7 1/2. I used the excuse that I was eating for 2 and really ate for 3. I gained 63lbs with my son, and only lost about 10 when I had him. (he was 8.5lbs).. so I was carrying the rest.
It took me until he was 2 to get to 145 (thats still about 10-15lbs off from where I was) - but something happened. I felt like I was still huge, and fat, etc.. so it put me into a bigger downward spiral and I ended up weighing at my all time highest (at that time) 203. I was miserable, I was determined.
I am a yo yo dieter.. and I diet for a few days, and then binge like crazy. Although, I did lose 20 lbs, but as soon as I lost that weight, I ended up pregnant with my daughter (who is now 1 1/2). I tried to eat some what healthier with her, but still managed to gain almost 50 lbs. Which put me up to my ALL TIME highest, 236 lbs.
RIght now I am in between 180 - 185. I have lost a good amount of weight, but am stuck. I get lazy, I get restless and end up losing my motivation.
Would love some friends to help push me along the way. Lets lose the weight together!
