Hi Ladies.... mind if I join?
I have a 4yr and a 3mth old, both were c-sections. I gained 60lbs with both pregnancies and needed to lose approx 30 lbs before I got prego the 2nd time. I don't remember feeling this crappy about my weight last time. Perhaps it's because I am trying to keep up with my 4yr old as well. I am trying to incorporate exercises that will be fun for both of us. We have been skiing 2x this season and out skating a few times as well. However, my weight loss has stalled at 210. I have lost 30lbs, but that was the initial post-partum weight loss. I had lost a lot of weight with the support of WLF 2yrs ago, but than didn't have the time to visit as much and fell off the wagon. I believe I was down to 165, and gained 15lb back before I got pregnant the 2nd time. I need to lose the last 30 of prego weight, and want to lose another at least another 30 to be 150.
I don't have access to the internet everyday, so I won't be able to post daily etc. Hope that it okay. I just need to find the support to stick with the weight loss and chat with others in my same position.
My goal is to start by cutting out sugar, bread, and pasta. These are big problem areas for me. I also eat when I am bored and stressed. So I need to figure out ways combat that. I have set aside one day aweek for "me day". I just had one yesterday, and spent an hr snowboarding. I wished I could have stayed out longer but it was my first time in 8yrs and didn't want to be in too much pain today. I was going to go skating today, but the weather has thrown a wrench into that plan. I also like to go snowshoeing and have a 3km hike in 2weeks to prepare for. I am taking my eldest skiing tomorrow night, so that will be fun and exercise. I also just made plans with my sister to take the kids skating this weekend. When I write/type it all down it looks good, but I just can't see the results.
I'm going to set a goal with you girls right now to lose the last of my baby weight (30lbs) by the end of the winter season (hard to say exactly when that is in Canada - so I'll specify by saying April 1st). 30lbs in 3 full months, seems like a lot, but I did 25 in 3mths before on weight watchers with less exercise than I am currently hoping to get. The biggest thing I need is to cut out the crap and be active everyday! If I have a bad night with the baby, it doesn't mean I can laze around the house all day!
Looking forward to your support, and to supporting all of you on this journey!
