Hi everyone who may happen across this!
I started my weight loss journey three weeks ago, and so far so good! I'm hoping to find some support for those difficult days when my toddler's Mac and cheese is calling my name.
A little about me:
I'm a 30 year old, stay at home mom to an almost 2 year old little boy. I was heavy my whole life until I was 22 when I decided to make a change. I went from 220lbs, at 5'10, to 155lbs and maintained it within 10lbs until I got pregnant, around 6 years. Then I just ballooned. I gained 80lbs while pregnant. After my son was born, PP depression hit, and then the loss of my mother 4 months later, and I just steadily packed on the pounds.
Fast forward almost 2 years and I tipped the scale (I sucked it up and bought one again!) at 282lbs. I'm so sick of feeling limited by my weight. I told my husband to wait to take our son to Disney until he was older so he "could remember it" but in truth, I was ashamed that I probably wouldn't fit on any of the rides or the plane for that matter.
In three weeks so far I have lost 17lbs by eating clean (Whole 30) and adding some light workouts.
Anywho, it will be lovely to meet all of you as we cheer each other on to our goals. I'm hoping to lose 100lbs, but my first goal is 40.
Thanks!
