My name is Naiomi and I am just looking for motivation and support that I can also give in return! I tend to lack motivation very easily! My goal at this point is to lose 75 lbs so anyone wanting to lose around the same would be awesome but if not thats ok! Any encouragment helps for me! To tell you a little about myself I am 29yrs old, married to my soul mate for 10 years, and have 2 beautiful daughters! I am very blessed indeed for my 2nd baby was my miracle baby (didnt think we could get pregnant since 8 years went by and nothing). I just had her on June 19th. I did develop "gestational diabetes" during my pregnancy but it was said I may have it before the pregnancy because I was told at 9 weeks and thats too early for gestational diabetes. I also have dealt with high blood pressure in the past. During my pregnancy I stayed on a strict diet and managed to only gain 10lbs thru out whole pregnancy! My prepregnacy weight was 243 so I got up to 253 by my 9th mo. After I had her I dropped ALOT of weight out of no where! 1 week after delivery I weighed 224 (which is still where I am today). I'd like to add I have been tested and the diabetes has vanished! =) So now I want to keep it that way and lose more weight! I know it could come back because Diabetes runs on BOTH SIDES of my family =/ I am sorry for typing too much lol... If u have any questions just add me and ask away!
