I'm new here. My name is Brittany. I've got a beautiful baby girl who is 12 weeks old. I can't blame her for the entire weight gain, I had some weight to lose before she came along. I was 190 when I found out I was pregnant. After she was born I weighed 218, and have since GAINED weight (227). I am a terrible eater.. barely eat any vegetables and basically eat whatever I want. Which clearly isn't working for me. I've started "my diet" several times... but it honestly only lasts a couple hours. Before my fiance eats something terrible and I usually end up joining him. But with Summer being here, I am determined to stick with this, it's so DEPRESSING being fat!
On top of that I am getting married in March, and I don't want to be depressed everytime I look at my wedding pictures for the rest of my life. So I have started my plan today.
-1800-2000 calories (as I am nursing my daughter so don't wanna ruin my supply of milk going lower)
-drinking water (I barely ever drink water)
-5-6 servings of fruits and vegetables a day
Nothing major. But better than what I have been doing. I have my goals set. I would like to be under 200 by the end of September, and close to my goal weight by my wedding in March. (I'm seriously considering changing the date of my wedding, because I feel it's to soon, and I desperately do not want to get married in my current shape!) Looking to make friends, and have support in my journey. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks!
