hello all,
i have hung out on 3fc before but never new where to come when i got to this point. well, here is where i belong.
here's my story.
in november 2004 i reached my highest weight of 154 . i am 5'3" and when i got married six years ago i weighed just 110 . i had a lot of depression issues over the years which explains my weight gain . the last straw was a miscarriage last summer . during the pregnancy and the few months after my loss i'd gained a total of 15 pounds .
in november, i finally decided to get my life back. i ended up losing 37 pounds, reaching 116 on april 10th . then......i got pregnant again. the diet stopped, but i was careful not to gain too fast. well, at 8 weeks along i had an ultrasound to make sure this baby was okay and found out that i would lose this pregnancy too
this time it was twins and neither baby had grown, just the sacs.
it has been one week and 4 days since my d&c to remove all the tissue. with the surgery i lost 3 pounds of the 8 i had put on in two months of being pregnant. i have since lost another pound.
now i am trying to get back down to my absolute goal weight of 115. at 119, i am happy, but i want to be a tiny bit smaller. i have a very small frame, and small breasts, so i carry any extra weight right around my middle.
although i still am losing, i am working harder to stay below 120, no matter what. i still count my calories (not religiously or anything) in my head real quick during the day to make sure i am not exceeding my caloric intake. i am also mountain biking a few days a week.
i have had a rough road........i know there are a lot of women here who have children, i wonder are there any who have also lost babies? just wondering.
well, that's all from me, a quick intro.
take care all, and happy maintaining.
