Hello, this is my second time in the forum.
I am a mom and work full time.
The first time I lost weight was in grade 11 because I was motivated to lose a few pounds before my last year of highschool. I believe I lost about 20 pounds and gained muscle. Everything was great! Fast-forward until my pregnancy in 2007.
The first time in 3fc, I had gained 100 pounds due to my pregnancy and then lost them in a year through hard work and eating healthy (this board helped me tons!)
That was me until 2009. Then, I lost motivation started college again, and the weight started piling up. What is worse is knowing I can lose it, knowing how to do it the right way, but I just wasn't willing to put in the effort.
Last year during the last weeks of December, I contacted a registered dietician to see if she could help me with meal plans.
Then the worst happened...2 days ago, I had a *fat*intervention that consisted of my parents, husband, and 3 adult siblings telling me I was too fat or obese and that I needed to lose weight because I was too unhealthy and I was starting to walk like a fat person. Nobody wants to get called fat - specially if those people are close to you.
I am using the fat*intervention as a starting point as I started eating healthier again. Drinking more water and I started moving more again. My issue is that I spend too much time on my phone! I guess it doesn't help that I live in a place where we have a long rain season :P. That is my story, and I hope to feel at home again in this forum as it was always such a great support system.
Cheers,
