Ok, I don't really know how to start. I have been coming to this site for quite some time and have never posted anything. It is so motivational to see and hear everyone's progress and to hear their up's and down's. So having said that I am just now starting my journey of getting rid of the excess baby weight I have. I am hoping that by recording my thoughts on this forum it will help hold me accountable for my actions. I had a baby April 18, 2009. While I love her to death, I hate all the weight I gained. I am 5'5" and started around 130 pounds and delivered at 187. Yah, I totally pigged out while i was prego. So now I am sitting at around 156 pounds. My goal weight is 115-120 pounds. So i am totally overwhelmed by that number. Since I am breastfeeding I really can't cut too many calories so i am pretty much going to have to depend on excersising. I have turbo jam and plan on using it in the mornings before my 3 year old gets up. I also have a treadmill that I will walk on at night when the kiddos go down for bed. I have very bad eating habbits. I eat out alot and LOVE PEPSI! I just don't think I am ready to give it up and I don't know if I can. I know, it is so sad! In the past 3 months I have totally pumped myself up for the weight loss and I do great for a week and then I totally binge and quit excersising. So I really hope by starting this journal I can keep to my goal. So starting tomorrow morning I will begin!
