Quote From: nortiz_55I got pregnant and gained 55 pounds. Before I got pregnant I was only 120 pounds. So after I had the baby about 30 pounds of it fell off, but those last 25 is what made me work harder than I've ever worked in my life. I decided to change my life style, as well as my eating habits and portion size. I weighed myself everyday. I am a firm believer that by weighing in everyday you can notice if you need to alter your diet and or exercise. I also took a pair of what I would call my "skinny jeans" and tried them on once every week, and every week I would notice some kind of difference! " Wow I can actually get them past my knees!!! woo hoo!" I have a quote I live by....." Don't give up what you want most for what you want at the moment ". or theres another one..... " Nothing tastes as good as being thin ". So here I am 5'2 and 124 pounds. I worked hard and it paid off, I have never been so proud of myself.
I wanted to say congratsulations to you! I know how hard it is to lose weight. I too gained weight while pregnant, but the problem is I am still battling it. Do you have any advice for me to stay motivated. I seem to do great for awhile and then all of the sudden something will happen and it throws me off course. For example, several weeks ago I was doing great..exercising, eating better foods..then I got sick with the flu and I felt so awful that I stopped doing my exercises never even thinking I was quitting for good. Here I am 4 weeks later and I have completely stopped. I hate it when I do that, but sometimes it almost feels like I can't help it. I know that isn't true. I am in control of me, but I tell myself that anyway. Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated by any of you who have gone through it or who has been through it. Once again...congrats on the weight loss. I bet you look great!
