I'm not new but took a long hiatus. So I'll introduce myself again :]
I am 5 foot and weighed 163lbs when I joined this site last year. Within 3 months of membership I lost 30lbs. Then I found out I was pregnant in January. I have a history of bulimia, flucuating back and forth from being overweight to underweight, so pregnancy was a real fear for me. But to my surprise, my ED affected me little during my pregnancy and on September 21 I gave birth to my beautiful daughter. I'm so glad I stayed healthy during those 9 months! And 3 weeks postpartum, I lost the 28lbs I gained while I was pregnant. I definitely wasn't expecting that, especially since I wasn't dieting nor was I exercising (I had a c-section). My only explanation is that I am breastfeeding. It worked for me :]
Now, it's time to crack the whip and get back onto the bandwagon! My ideal goal is to reach 100lbs but I know that in order to continue living a healthy lifestyle, I can't go back to eating an apple a day and exercising like a maniac. So my first milestone is to reach 120lbs and then go from there :] Here are some of my progress pictures from before and now.
Ohhh! First, here is my daughter <3
Here is me when I weighed 163lbs on a 5ft frame..
Then I lost 30lbs only to get preggo! Haha.. ahem. I'm 7 months here.
Here's kind of a fun comparison in the same top!
Almost back at my pre-preggo weight.
This was taken a few days ago in a TJMaxx dressing room.
I'd been shopping (solo) for about 5 hours and got sooo engorged from not being able to nurse!
Hope to get to know everyone, again! I have a new outlook on life right now, and staying positive and motivated will be half the battle. Oh and a special shoutout to,
saef, thanks for checking up on me!
Back! And back onto the bandwagon ;)
