in Introduce Yourself
Hi Everyone,

I'm a 41 year old mum of two (22 and 2!) and I live in Adelaide, Australia with my husband and kids. I ride my bike the 20km round trip to work but my eating is either super healthy or a big disaster, depending on motivation levels, and I am having no luck getting back to my healthy pre-baby weight. Time to get serious! We'd like another baby while I've still got a few fresh eggs left in the fridge but I don't want to start a pregnancy already carring a lot of extra weight, as I found pregnancy after 40 is a lot tougher on my body! I hope to make some friends here along the way.

It's not about attaining some impossible version of 'perfect' for me...I just want to get back to being the best possible version of me that I can be!

Marie

    You can do this. You have a beautiful baby and obviously a husband that loves you. Keep that is mind when you think it's becoming difficult and too hard to do. You can do this. Down the road I want to see pictures of the new baby!!!
