Hello my fellow people
I am a 26 year old mother of two that wants to go back to feeling good about herself and the way she looks. I have been trying since July to lose weight. I went to the gym for 6 days a week for 6 weeks then went down to 4 times a week for a month to 3 times a week because my schedule is tight towards the end of the year due to my job. I have cut my calorie intact to 1000-1500 a day and watched what I ate and still nothing, only lost 4lbs and 1 inch. I finally sucked it up and went to my doctor. They placed my on phentermine which I just stared today.
Going through these threads I feel even more pathetic because many of you were struggling at a much higher weight then I am currently. I am not some chick that just wants to be super skinny. I just want to be good about myself and at least lose the belly so people stop asking if I am expecting...
All my life I was skinny and my weight went between 108-118. When I got pregnant with my daughter my weight jumped to 160. After her I got my weight down to 125 before her 1st birthday then I found out I was pregnant again with my son. Weight again jumped and went to 170 and I lost weight until 135 but not its back up to 160. I am not looking at weighing 118 again. Would it be nice? Heck yes but it's not my goal.
My goal is to get my energy back so I don't run a few houses down when racing my kids and lose my breathe and to lose at least the belly where it makes me look pregnant because that's where all my weight decided to go. I guess if I had a goal weight it would be 130-135.
I wish all you the best of luck on your weight loss and I look forward to getting to know all of you and getting some great advice.
