Hi everyone,
I just joined and thought I should introduce myself before I jump in
My name is Elisa, I'm 30 years old and I need to lose 60 pounds. My story in a pinch: always been curvy but not fat, then lost huge amount of weight due to a stressful job before getting pregnant with #1 and gaining 60 pounds... Had only 26 pounds to lose by the time baby was 3 months old - breastfed baby for 6 months, then yo-yo dieted my way up to almost 60 pounds overweight. The after years of dieting some more and going vegetarian I finally found a nutritionist who helped me put my metb back together, so to speak. And then I was lucky enought o find the fat Flush Plan, which worked wonderfully for me and took me to just 17 lbs away from my goal weight
But my beloved MIL, a cancer survivor, was diagnosed with cancer again and there started my emotional eating/weight gain again
After she passed, I was a bit lost but determined to get healthy again. Then a few months later I got pregnant with #2. Only gained 16 pounds with her but I was already overweight. Then when #2 was 6 months old we moved overseas and I gained weight again, due to eating out a lot (apartment to furnish
), lack of sleep and, well, let's be honest... boredom and also feeling a tad lonely.
So now I'm ready to get back on track, but the FFP isn't working for me, I need something that doesn't require that much planning right now because to be honest I simply don't have the time. Plus I'm doing really poorly on the cranberry juice and some of the supplements this time, I think it's because my body is really out of whack and I need to take it a bit slower.
Anyway, so I'm here now, fat and a bit neurotic. Anyone want to buddy up?
LOL
