Hi Everyone!
I wanted to introduce myself...so here goes.
Im Erin, Im 24 from Edmonton, Alberta. I have a 10 week old little boy, and this whole being a mom thing is great. My issue is with all of this weight that came with it. Ive never been skinny, but I have always been happy with who I am. For many years I was at 190lbs and was very content with myself. Now, here I am 238lbs! Eeekk! At my peak I was 268, which means I gained what feels like a million pounds during my pregnancy.
I first got pregnant June 2007. In September, I lost the baby. I was 3 months pregnant. One month later (after a month of depression and over eating) I got pregnant again. That pregnancy went great and I packed on the pounds.
Now, here I am looking for any motivation I can get and any support I can get to feel like myself again.
Yep, so thats my story! Im looking forward to feeling healthy again! Im excited about this!
Erin-
