I'm back!
Not sure who's still around, but I wanted to come back, and make a new thread. My life has changed, for the better, and I seriously need to give this another go.
Several months ago, I started to lose weight again, 20lb or so. I had a plan, I was going to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro by now. I was going to get my life together...and then, a month after financing my first car (to finally get my licence!# and a week after having a serious "not sure if this will work" talk with my boyfriend, I found out I was pregnant!
We'd been trying for 9 months, and to me, it felt like I was empty. I put all my energy into losing weight, and being positive some other way, and then it happened. It definitely put a lot of things into perspective. My boyfriend and I talk a lot more, and I've never been happier. I've wanted to start my family for a long time...and it's still hard to believe I'm a mom now!
Before my pregnancy I weighed 263...which was great, because my highest weight had been 280
273lb here
Looking back at the picture, I feel like I was so skinny lol!
By the end of my pregnancy, I had gained a whopping 65lb.
328lb here...but look at that bump!
My baby boy came 11 days early, and it was the happiest day of my life (also the most painful). He was a healthy 8lb 1oz and 21" long!
Christmas day!
I'm now 295lb (I lost 33lb from baby and water retention!) and I really need to lose this weight. I'm having a hard time, because I don't have a lot of time to prepare meals, or think about much except baby and sleep...but I'm going to start making an effort.
I want to be able to run with my boy, play with him, teach him how to live healthy. I want to lead by example. I can't do that at 295lb. I want to be the best mom that I can be. So here I am again.
I have to wait until after the 29th to do any serious exercising, but I'm going to start doing my walking again, since I have the treadmill here at home. There is no excuse!
By the way, I make a damn cute baby.
So thanks for reading! I wanna make an effort to post as much as I can! I'm gonna figure out my calories, make sure I eat enough for breastfeeding, and get in some kind of exercise. I've lost 50lb before, I can do it again (and more so)!
