Hello fellow fitnesspal friends. My name is Samantha. I am new to this site and new to trying to loose weight. I will keep my story cute and short.
I am 20 years old and a single mommy to my always handsome son who is one years old. I am 5'7 and I have wider hips and curves so I cant be stick skinny I look ridiculous so I like my weight to be usually around 140-150. I carry weight really well and proportionate. When I got pregnant with my son I gained 80 freaking pounds! Like really, at nine months pregnant I weighed myself right before I had my son and I weighed 230 pounds. I was ashamed I gained 80 pounds being pregnant. After I had my son I got on the birth control shot depo. And now at a year later after having my son I am still at 230 pounds but without a baby in my tummy! I am going to try to switch birth controls and really start changing up my diet and if I can hopefully get some exercise. I really hate that I got this big out of no where. But I do carry weight well so you know I still get hit on and blah blah blah but to me I feel I look embarrassing and gross, thank god for jeans and jackets. I don't buy any new clothes either I will not be like this! I hope my weight loss journey is successful and I loose that 80 pounds!! Thank You.
