Katesmash's Diary - determined to lose the baby weight
I just found out about this forum, so I'll post a little intro of myself.
My name is Katie. I'm from Saskatchewan, Canada. I'm 5'7" tall (since that applies to BMI and all that). I have a 9 month old daughter named Keira who is the world to me. I still have yet to lose any of my pregnancy weight, which is what brings me here!
I had a small fight with weight gain about 4 years ago... not huge but enough for me to not like my xmas pics I took in 2004. I joined Cal-Fit and lost 10 lbs, which I was happy with.
Fast forward to March 2006. I meet my "hubby" Bryce. A few months go by, and I end up pregnant. 12 weeks later I miscarried, but got left with pregnancy weight already building up. In February 2007 we succeeded in conceiving our daughter. I started that pregnancy at 150 lbs, and lost almost 10 due to nausea/morning sickness, and not eating properly due to it.
My weight at the end of my pregnancy was 180 lbs. 9 1/2 lbs of that being Keira.
I ended up weighing 160-165 lbs shortly after giving birth, but since have added to that weight, putting me at 177 lbs today.
My goal is to get down to around 140 lbs... basically back to my starting weight before the first pregnancy. I need to lose this weight before hubby and I start TTC a 2nd child. My deadline I've set for myself is December 31, 2008. I'd like to get down to 150 lbs by my daughter's 1st birthday, November 10, 2008.
I'm just getting into the swing of weight loss, starting now. In September I'm starting to attend a Abs on the Ball class (exercise ball) and swimming lessons. I'm also planning on adapting my diet slightly, by cutting down on the amount of pop I drink, and the amount of junk (chips & chocolate bars for example, are really way to common for me).
My hubby and my parents are very supportive for me. My BFF and I are trying to get into the habit of going swimming together at least once a week.
My hubby is also my vice... as we are both very guilty of eating a lot of friend foods, or not cooking a healthy supper every night. He also drinks a LOT of pop and if it is in the house, I always grab it. And the darn man has a great metabolism and actually wants to GAIN weight.

Been drinking a lot of water too, so I really think I can manage this "no pop" rule.
