Sorry, I accidentally posted this in the wrong section earlier!!
Hi, I just joined here tonight. I am a mom of 3 children and have been married for almost 9 years. I own my own business and I love to cook, bake, make candles etc.
I have never been really overweight in high school i was 5'10 120lbs. When I turned 21 I gained like 40lbs in a year. I really contribute this to moving out of my parents home, eating fast food everyday and drinking lots of beer everynight. Anyways, when i got married I was 150lbs. Then had my 1st baby 2 babies later I still have not seen 150 on a scale. I really haven't tried that hard though. Now, that I am almost 185 I think its time to slim back down and start looking good and feeling good again.
My issues are that I eat because I am bored or upset. Of course, owning a store that carries all the goodies does not help either. I am a big pop-a-holic and I love chocolate.
My goal is to lose 45-50lbs by cutting out pop, sugar, potatoes (gonna be tough with that one) and most breads. Plus, I am going to try some exercises and my ball with some weights.
I would like to lose as much as I can by March-April for my high school reunion. I think most people would crap thier pants if they could see me now.
Anyways, if anyone has any good advice as to how to jump start the weight loss I certainly would appreciate it. Also, if there are any moms here that now how to battle the pouch left from babies let me know how this can be done. I have had 3 babies over 9lbs each and I really need to tighten this problem area. So that being said my problem areas seem to be my mid-section thighs, stomach, hips.
Thanks to all and I look forward to getting to know everyone.
