I need to lose, after I have this baby, ahem, 60lbs. I went from 125lbs, to 185lbs. Now, I've had some complications to complicate my weight gain, but it distresses me just as much as if I did it all on my own. Being with my fiance's family didn't help either, they don't exactly eat chicken and fish as part of their diet, and I hadn't seen any veggies there, well, potatoes, but I don't consider that to be a vegetable, that's a starch. We lived with them for a while about 4 - 5 months until we could find a place of our own, we moved from one town to another while he found a new job, and I got sick and had to stay home, with nothing but chips and crap to snack on. I'm not impressed with myself or them. But hey, it's their lives and I can fix the damage that had been done during that time.
Now, I am going to be giving birth in about 5-7 weeks. But I want to jump start my health again and start working out again, of course I'm only allowed to walk at minimum heart rate for 20 minutes a day, but hey, it's something, it's the act itself for me right now. Not the weight loss.
Anyway, send a reply because I would like to know if you're into this full time or not. I've had people jump on with me in the past to get in shape, but when I showed more dedication than them, they quit, and I lost my support. That really ticked me off. I tend to go hard core when I train and diet, I've been doing fitness for about 2 years now, I've learned a lot and researched a lot as well.
So, if you'd like, I'm here to train and let you know how I'm doing and give advice as well, as well as congratulate you when you succeed, send pictures of progress and everything.
Support buddy all the way!
You sound like exactly what I need! Our stories are very similar, because I went from 130 to 185 in the last year and a half...since I had a baby and became a stay-at-home Mom. Most of the weight was from the pregnancy, but I've watched it slowly climb since the summer. I think I'm having some sort of nervous-breakdown (ha haa) about being as big as I am. I'm planning on getting pregnant later this year and all I can think is that I'll be over 200 pounds...and that really terrifies me. Email me at trisninity@yahoo.com anytime. I look forward to hearing from you! And THANK YOU.
