Hi there - I am getting rid of this weight once and for all and looking for a few good buddies to join me along the way (weigh...). I have 5 kids - 16, 14, 11, 2, and 3 1/2 month old. I am carrying baby weight from all of them (and I didn't even give birth to the oldest! She is my step-daughter). I did lose about 50 pounds about 5 years ago and then the last two pregnancies did me in again. I am determined to shed these pounds forever. I started about 4 weeks ago and I have been doing very well.
I am following WW Flex points. Since I am breastfeeding, I get a huge amount of points each day. I am actually having trouble getting them all in! I have lost 9 pounds as of today (almost 5 in the first week). I added in exercise this week (started on Saturday) and am loving it for the first time! I have discovered exercise videos, which for right now work perfectly with my limited "free" time.
I am looking for a buddy (or few) who are really serious about getting rid of the unwanted pounds (I say "getting rid of" because I am actively doing something about the pounds - saying that we "lose" weight implies not only passivity, but also that we might find them again).
If you would like to join me on my journey please post or e-mail me.
