Hello
My name is Emma. I am 21 years old, currently just under 160lb and am ready to take control of my life again and feel good in my skin. Last year I gave birth to my beautiful daughter and at that time I weighed 235lb. My husband deployed to Iraq 3 days after she was born and from then on I was on a mission to lose weight and look amazing for when he came home. So during the year he was gone I ended up losing 96lb.
I was down to 144. Feeling sooo good about myself, wearing cute clothes I never wore before and feeling more confident then ever. My husband came home from Iraq August 25th 2011 and since then I have gained about 15lb. I have let myself go and let my hard work and progress backtrack to a point that it should have never got to. It is now time for me to get back into my routine and get my 'weightloss mind frame' back. I am ready to get back to 144 and ready to even go beyond that. My ultimate goal being 130lb.
So first I am going to set myself mini goals until I get back to 144. Once I hit that again I will set new goals for myself. I am starting my workout regime on Friday, November 25th. My first goal is to get to 150lb by Christmas, if I reach 150 before then with a sufficient amount of time til Christmas I will re-modify my goal to lost 12 or 15lb.
By New Years I want to be 148, 140 by February 1st, 132 by early March and 130 or under by end of March.
This spring/summer I want to be able to wear cute bathing suits and shorts without chafing and skirts and tank tops without my arms flabbing around.
Most importantly I want to feel beautiful and beyond comfortable in my own skin. I want to be proud of myself and I want my family to be proud of me
Thank you for reading my entire rant! I am excited to be a part of this site and am hoping to encourage many others as much as your posts have encouraged me thus far.
New Girl looking for some weight loss support, advice and encouragement!
