Hello, everyone! i've been kinda chunky child - the way i saw myself, which was actually just puppy fat. i turned my life completely around and got thin and fit when i went to college and was able to maintain my nice body until i get married. i'm thinking, i was about 130 before i got married. and then i got pregnant and when i got out of the hospital with my baby son, i weighted around 186 pounds. i'm just a couple of pounds under 200pounds by now (i'm 25years old, btw) and it's been only 2.5 years since then. it is really hard on me. nothing fits, i feel like i'm starting to have medical problems, i dont have energy to chase my son around etc
so a couple of weeks ago i just couldn't stand it anymore and i started my journey back. i try to eat balanced food, i dont use any crash diet or any diet plan at all, because i know i will gain as many pounds as i'd lose and they would also bring some of their friends along as soon as i get off the diet.
i exercise 30 minutes every day - it's a 30day shred DVD by Jillian Michaels. i know it's not enough but i started out 2 weeks ago with only 8 minutes. it's all i could do - just silly 8 minutes! so i'm pretty proud of myself right now, it's a tiny little victory - to be able to do what the dvd wants from me
so i'm hoping to find support, new friends and all those inspiring stories from those who've done it!
ps sorry for the long story
