...wants to become PHAT (pretty, hot, and trim)
So my history
~I was married at age 19 at 150 lbs (About where I was most of high school)
~Had baby #1 at age 21 and reached 183 lbs and am not a fortunate one to lose weight while I breastfeed
~Saw a picture of myself and get really motivated-joined an online support group like this (but it is no longer around that I can find) lost weight at a very reasonable rate and got down to 133
I counted calories and exercised.
~Got pregnant with baby #2 I was in GREAT shape and ran throughout my pregnancy to keep fit but dispite that I gained weight and ended up at 183 lbs and again did not lose weight while breastfeeding
~Got a little motivated and got down to 150 lbs
~Got pregnant with baby #3 and gained slowly and not as much as the last pregnancy and ended at 183 lbs
Which brings us to today. I am at 170 lbs as of this morning and really needing a support group to get my weight down.
I am a 27 (in July) year old mom of three, wife to one.
I have high cholesterol and have a heart condition (bradycardia-with occasional black-outs, palpations, and sudden surges) I know my limits and where a heart rate monitor.
I come here begging/pleading for support and encouragement. I would like to get down to 140 lbs before getting pregnant with baby #4 (probably our last) next year.
So am I in the right place?
