Mom of 4

Hey! I'm a mom of 3 and my youngest is almost 7 months. I'm still breastfeeding, and I've been using that as an excuse to eat ALL the food! Started blogging again Saturday and realized how unhealthy I've been eating. Time for me to get my eating in check too!

Hi! Here's my story and the reason I am here...I'm a wife of a Cost Guard Veteran, a mom of a 3 yr old boy and 7 months baby girl, and business woman. Both time after having my babies breastfeeding got me to gain about 50 lbs over the baby weight even though the first 2 weeks after giving birth I was under my pre-pregnancy weight yet not my ideal weight still overweight. However after the 3rd week, I started to see crazy high numbers on the scale (after 225 I stopped weighing myself but I knew I was going up). Result after my son stopped breastfeeding I notice I started to lose weight without changing my diet, I was always eating healthy with an occasional sweet and working out, I had high stress from medical school. I am mentioning the stress because stress hormones make me gain weight. Then I took out all sugars, got into a high protein diet and was working out 45mins in the morning before my son would wake up, no medical school at this point. I lost 80lbs in 7 months. I needed a boost so I researched the VLCD under Hcg. In 15 days I lost 23 lbs so I was excited to continue since I needed to lose 45lbs more but I stopped the protocol. Well life came in between my success : surgery, stress, working 24/7, husband and son.. Oh and how can I forget my mother and sister strain in these relationships made it not a good time to be on the protocol however because of all the weight loss I got pregnant again. My baby girl was planned 2 years before she was even done but at the moment we did not even think we would get pregnant. So now I am losing the previous over weight, baby weight, breastfeeding weight... It has been a week and a day since I am back doing the protocol and I have lost 16lbs. I am feeling great, I am not working out. I worked out the first day and I was sore until Saturday. So that was a good circuit which I want to get back after losing the weight. I need motivation so I am always online looking at blogs and vlogs about weight loss. I want to have my own success and be someone else's motivator.
