Pregnant for Two Years Practically - Focusing on Me Now!

edited October 2 in Introduce Yourself
So... after trying years to have a child, my husband and I found out in October 2009 that we would be parents finally! Brady joined us at the end of July 2010... and imagine our surprise when we learned in October 2010 that he would be getting a sibling! Dawson joined us at the end of June 2011.

Needless to say, my body took a beating carrying these little guys. I have renewed my commitment to lose 90 lbs. so I can have more energy to keep up with my boys on a daily basis and to hopefully be around for them in the long term. Plus I just want to get my sexy back!!!

I'm looking for friends who want to share this journey - the ups and the downs. 90 lbs. isn't going to be easy, and I could use all the support that I can get. And, I will do the same for you.

Happy Thursday everyone!

    Welcome to this wonderful site! I was also pregnant in the last few years with my son and twins. It took a big toll on my body and finally lost all of the weight and then some. Good luck to you and your journey! :flowerforyou:

    I am right there with you. I had four kids in 6 years so I know how you feel when it comes to being pregnant. I would have a million more kids if I could just because I love being a mom and I love being pregnant.

    Our fourth child, 3rd son, joined out family the beginning of July 2010 and because I struggled with nursing all of my children I did not do a ton to loose the weight from him. After being on bed rest for 6 of the last 7 weeks of my pregnancy I ended up gaining 30 lbs 15-20 of it in the 6 weeks of bed rest.

    I want to have more energy to keep wup with my 3 sons and 1 daughter as well as my husband. I have found that a great easy workout and the wonderful Yoplait Diet that I have been able to drop the weight with no problems. I have a goal to loose 50 lbs. I just started using myfitnesspal again and loving it again.

    I wish you the best and look forward to hearing your success story.
