Hello everyone, I am new here, I posted once but havent posted again, still not used to the message board process since I havent used one in AGES anyway....
Here is my story my name is Lisa I am a 26yo SAHM (Stay At Home Mom) after I was pregnant with my daughter the weight never went away ... I am in the 190's or top 180's not certain as I havent weighted myself in a while. I am not quite 5'3" so a bit to big for my height.
Today I joined my BFF to try on bridesmaid dresses, the dress they had that she liked was in a size 12 booo as I dont fit in a 12 it was a tad bit depressing trying on the dress and having it pinned to my bra. No dress I tried on was my size all to small ( which for them is the way they do it since they order their dresses to fit your size ) so they are ordering me a 16 which I tried on a 16 today and it didnt fit...much to my dismay. I realize my goal of approximately 70lbs will most likely not be reached by Oct 2010 but I am looking for any good weight loss advice anyone can give me. I want to be realistic, I have been gradually loosing and doing better...I really dont eat a lot of junk but its just not going away. I cant imagine not even being able to fit in a 16 for her wedding.
I have never really done the diet or exercise thing, I was chunky when I was younger and when I was a teen I lost a TON of weight for reasons unknown (was tested for all kinds of things) I figured it was cause I stopped eating deserts and started drinking a lot of water. My smallest ever was a size 3 which was WAY to small for me. Ideal I would love to be a size 7. But anything close to that I will be super happy with LOL.
Hoping for some great advice, and those who read my babble thank you LOL
I am ready to get this weight loss party started!
