Hi! I need some supportive and understanding friends! I have been a member for awhile, but I am beginning my weight loss journey for the third time. I was able to initially lose weight through reducing carbs and running, after baby #3. Then, after having my fourth, I lost all my baby weight last year through CrossFit and healthful eating, and I was in awesome shape and felt great. Then we had a stressful move across the country, where we ate out for every meal for over a month. This was right after the holidays, where I'd gone crazy with baking and being too busy to work out. So now I've gained the weight without the excuse of a pregnancy. :( Now that the dust has settled (as much as it can, anyway, when you've got 4 kids), I want to get back to that level. Sadly, CrossFit is waaay more expensive here, and not at all in our budget. I'm trying to find something I love as much that works as well, and also trying to juggle kids and healthy eating. It's really hard to dig out of such a rut, so I would love any and all motivation, as well as providing the same to others! :)
