Finally kicking my butt back into shape

Reagansmomma · 09-22-2010, 04:15 PM

Hello everyone,
I am new to this board and I thought I would just talk a little to make it offical I am getting started. I am a 23 year old woman who had a baby about a year ago. I went to start a gym, and said that I wanted to lose my baby weight. Who am I kidding? She is a year old now... it isn't baby weight anymore, it is only my weight. I actually weigh more now than I did right after I had her. I will say it really isn't what I eat(not that I eat perfectly), but it is more about when I eat. I work in a restaurant and sometimes go in at 3 and don't get off till 11. I am not hungry when I go into work, so of course I snack through out the shift and then when I am done I eat my dinner. Then come home and go straight to bed. That is not healthy I know. I am doing my absolute first spinning class tonight... think I might be in a lot of pain when I get done. However I need to kick start something... I am right now at about 204 and I am 5'4. I know that I want to be back around 140lbs. I am ready to kick butt! Thank you so much for reading my rant... I just felt the urge to right this!

Congratulations on making the decison to lose the weight. I'm also going to kick my butt back into shape by going to the gym (taking baby steps). I think I'm going to just start trying to do a little something everyday. good luck!!

Good luck! I am just starting again after taking a break when having baby #2. It was a little disappointing to log in and realize I am 15lbs higher than what I was when I was last trying to commit to my weight loss plan, but I'm trying not to get caught up in that, because this time IT IS HAPPENING! I'm committed and I am going to do it.

Congrats on committing to lose! I hope spinning goes well for you! If not, try some different classes until you find something that you look forward to. When I got started I really wanted to love spinning, but it's so boring! Kickboxing, on the other hand, is a ton of fun and also burns a lot of calories.
