Newbie!

Hi everyone!

I joined on Tuesday and have been getting myself familiar with the site - and now I am totally addicted! I have struggled with my weight ever since I had my first daughter in 2006. I put on 20 kilos, going from a lovely 65 kilo - 85 kilos when pregnant. After I had her I was breastfeeding and just didn't watch what I was eating at all - so I put on even more weight averaging about 95 kilos.

I got pregnant with my second daughter last year, she is 4 months now. I didn't put on that much weight with her - getting up to about 107 kilos. After I had her I weighed in at 104 kilos - such a depressing number. I've been loosely doing lite and easy and trying to watch what i eat but haven't been exercising - so over the past two months ive only lost 3 kilos!

I am breastfeeding so I am very wary of making sure I have enough calories to sustain my milk supply but have talked to my GP and she thinks I can safely lose weight while breastfeeding.

My partner and I are getting married in September next year. My current weight (as of Tuesday) is 101 kilos. I hope to get down to 95 kilos by the start of January....but my ideal weight would be 65 kilos. Thats a lot of weight to lose but i know i can do it! I've been logging every day (and loving it) and been doing 20 minutes of Zumba a day, I hope to increase this exercise as I get a bit better at it, but for now thats quite a work out for me!!

Would love some more friends to share this journey with!
