Hello everyone! :-)

Hi everyone!

I finally got up the courage to post.

My story is simple, I have always struggled with my weight ever since I can remember. In 2003 I decided to do something about it and lost around 25kg through eating right and excercise. I was very happy at my 65 -68kg weight and really proud of myself!

Then, in 2010 my husband and I started trying to start a family, after I miscarried 3 times I finally had a healthly baby boy in October of 2012 :-) Wonderful stuff....except for my weight. I had a hard final trimester and some early issues with breast feeding, and since I was not allowed to work out because of the miscarages (sp??) the weight just kept on adding up. By the time my son was 12 months I had ballooned to 100kg!!!

I started taking care of myself after my sons first birthday and am happy to say that I am now well on my way to my pre-family making body, at 79.5kg and still heading down :-) (and I still breastfeed so it is possible to workout and breastfeed at the same time!!!) I have returned to the gym and even started running! Funny thing is that I used to be one of those people who used to think running was lame... live and learn right! ;-)

Anyway, that´s my story just looking to find some friends and offer/get some encouragement when needed! Please feel free to message and/or add me!

Cheers,
Rute
