Hi everyone. I wanted to post for the first time, lay it all on the line.
I am 24 and have always been pretty in shape, even tiny. At 19 I was underweight weighing just 102lbs and 5'5''. I have never had any eating issues, I just was super busy/stressed and lost weight. At 20, when I became pregnant with my daughter I right away gained 15 lbs. My doctor explained my body was getting to a better weight to keep me and the baby healthy.
I did not gain excessively during my pregnancy, just around 35 lbs on top of the necessary 15. When I left the hospital I weighed the most I ever have in my life at 161. Ok breath, it was water weight. My hands the side of my baby's body. If you have had a kid you know how scary it is to be all huge and bloated after birth. Thankfully that went away fast as did anther 20 or so pounds. I lost another ten through some diet, I was lazy about it, but knew my body would do what it needed to.
At this point I was at 135, and fine with this weight. I didn't expect to be 102lbs ever again! I didn't want to be.
In the past 4 years I somehow now weigh just around 150/155 (my weight always fluctuates 5 lbs.) I like to blame this on my boyfriend and him feeding me but who can say really why. I am not 19 anymore, I sit in an office and work and simply cannot be AS active as I once was, I gave birth and my body did change a bit (although I liked the changes a lot.)
Today I figured out that in exactly 10 1/2 weeks my boyfriend will be suprising me with a trip to Hawaii. Ok I assume this is where. It's a beach, no passport needed, we have been talking about going there. He said for sure bikini needed. I leave August 26th (my bday 31st.)
I have made it my goal to drop a few lbs and tone up before we leave. I figure 10 weeks is a good amount of time to tone up. I am not feeling the need to drop a ton. I am happy that my shape is naturally very muscular. My legs always very toned. My stomach is my least favorite feature, as are my upper arms. The arms I know with a little weight training will be back in shape, the stomach, of course, is much more difficult.
I suspect my bf will propose on this trip (4 plus years together) so I want to be in shape then, and not have to be the bride trying so hard to lose it at the last minute. I want my photo's from Hawaii to look good. He is going to work out with me.
So I am here because I felt the best way for me to begin losing the weight is to lay it all on the line. I will post my before pic now, and be totally honest. I am hoping this will help me lose the weight.
I am going to start running soon. I had a knee injury at 15 which has since made running a bit painful but am wanting to get back into it. Also my bf and I bought new mountain bikes for the summer...cannot wait to get out.
So that is my story. Thanks for reading.
Ok I will post a picture when I can figure out how. Technical issues tonight, not even attachments are working.
