(Re)Introducing Myself - About to have baby #2

  • I wanted to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. I used to be on this site as a regular and I loved it! (Waaaayyyy back in Aug 2009) I was actually trying to lose the pregnancy weight from my first son by May of 2010 (oh wait that's right around the corner!!) I was down about 40 lbs from my pregnancy weight and cruising along quite nicely....when we found out we were expecting again! Well, I SWORE I would not gain the weight back.....
    But I did. And I'm right back where I started.
    I'm due May 17th, but I'm trying to spend the next few weeks really getting my eating habits (healthy choices) back on track. Also, I do the (home) weight watchers (I won't be able to go to meeting until after the summer for $ reasons, but I've done it before and just manage it on my own). So I want to get back into the point mind set, as I basically took a 10 month vacation from controlled eating. I also changed my goal weight from 135 to 155. And 232 may not be my starting weight. I'll have to see really where I am after I get home form the hospital!

    So nice to be back! And anyone that is here trying to keep from gaining all that weight back during pregnancy, remember that at the end of the nine (its really 10 in the end) months, that you will be so happy with yourself if you manage your eating while pregnant.

    ...I'm still kind of hoping I give birth to a 50 lb baby....
  • Welcome back GlamourGirl! Good for you for starting today, that's the hardest part.

    Enjoy your coming bundle of awesomeness and remember that weight loss will come after baby does!
