Hi, my name is Kayla and I started my journey, oh about a hundred times now. I've been unsuceesful- period, I've lost, I've gained. I've cried, I've done everything else a "dieter" goes through.
I was looking for a ticker today and was led to this community and feel I should share my journey with you. I started this one on May 31 when I weighed in at a whopping, all-time high and tearjerking (to me) 195. I know this seems trivial, but I have always been 150 or less. I swore I'd never get "fat." And lo and behold 200 starts to creep up on me. I spent most of that day crying, decided I was going to do something and have been since. Since 5/31 I have lost a glorius 6 pounds. I will continue to do so. My first goal is 170.
I have a lateral stepper to pick up from my Mum's. I just bought a fitness ball (which I need to learn to use) and have been dancing around the house like a ninny-poop with my kids (3 boys). We have done tae-bo and "Jamaica me swe't" together, we have noshed fresh raw veg, walked and they are such a wonderful little support system to me. The Hubster and my Mum have also been extremely supportive of me. My Mum lost a LOT of weight several years ago and she knows what it's like to try to lose. My MIL is a WW fan and has lost weight. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful supportive network. Above all, God and prayer have helped me through the past couple weeks.
A little background on me- I am 29 come September, have 3 kids, I quit smoking 12M April 24th (7 weeks last nite at M-
). I became a SAHM December 31, 2003, less than a month before my youngest was born. I was a wonderful 150 prior to my pgcy with him and have just never lost the weight from him. I did get down to 183 back in April, but when I quit smoking I skyrocketed and didn't even realise it til the doomed May 31st. I just never weighed. I guess I was in denial, and I figured "oh no, not me. I won';t gain all that weight." Sheah right!
So I am here now. I come to you, baring all bones, looking for support, hoping to give and to be a little tiny LOSER!!!
Instead of a big fat one. LOL I do have a blog, along with 3 other team members. Once I get a little more familiar with the site here, I'll share it! Good luck to all of us, and God Bless!
Hello from another loser! ;)
Good luck to you!
