Figured I’d jump on in here and introduce myself. I hope that’s ok.
I first started SB the summer before my junior year in college, in 2009. Over the course of 2 years, I lost almost 65 lbs, and at my thinnest weighed 139 lbs. I maintained the weight loss for about 2 more years before I started gaining again.
Fast forward to 2015. I’m back to 196 lbs. Not the heaviest I’ve ever been, but close to it. The weight came back on slowly but steadily. I was already in the low 170s when I got pregnant with my first DC, at which point all dieting flew out the window. I gained 40+ lbs during my pregnancy, lost about 20 lbs after delivery. The scale hasn’t budged since
It’s been a year now, and I’m just stuck in a rut. I keep “restarting” SB, stick to it for maybe 3-4 weeks, realize I haven’t lost anything, then get frustrated and stop. My body has changed a lot since having a baby; my weight is in all different places now, and it doesn’t seem to be as easy for me to lose. However, I know that this diet works for me if I truly follow it; I’ve seen the results before, and I know that with the right commitment I can make it work again. I think I just need some extra support, and also a lot of advance planning to make sure I’m organized this time around.
It's a little bit in advance, but this time, I’m planning to restart SB in May. Before then, I’d like to get very organized and really have a plan in place. Any advice, guidance, or suggestions is much appreciated!
Looking forward to getting to know you ladies.
