Hello! My name is Kris. I am a 31 year old mommy to 2 kiddos (Jake -2 years and Sam -2 months).
Before we started the process to have kids - I was a little overweight (I love food!!) and very active (a fitness instructor :blush: )
Due to some pregnancy complications and not being able to exercise like I used to/wanted to (and not limiting my calories accordingly!) I have gained way to much weight and numerous bad habits!
I am looking forward to using this forum to support and motivation as I make small, sustainable, attainable changes towards a healthy lifestyle so that I can be an active and health role model for my family.
After Sam's birth I was 235 lbs, I am now 205 lbs. A heatlhy weight for my 5'4" frame is 145 lbs (top end) so that will be my long term goal for now. I don't want to focus on my weight but on the health changes I am making and going to keep doing for the rest of my life. The weight loss will be a result of that - not the focus (I need to keep reminding myself of that!)
Good luck to everyone on this forum! Together we can do this!
