Just found this site .I came across it by accident ,it's fantastic.I have 48lb to lose and am really struggling would love a bit of support and encouragement I had a baby 8mths ago and i'm bigger now than i was at 9mths pregnant, would love to find a buddy i could email when the going gets tough.I'm 37yrs old married with one baby have been overweight most of my life and really want to be a fit and healthy mum for my daughter
hey mum, WELCOME!! i am 39 and have 47 pounds to go to reach my goal. i am a mother of two, ages 14 and 10 and kept most of my last preg. weight for the last 10 years. it is great that you are taking control this soon after having your baby. there are many forums here that can help you along the way. i tend to lurk in the shadows of many and join a few. there is one that i really like that is the 21 day challenge... this should take you straight to it.
Thanks trob need all the help i can get.
have never used an online site like this,seems really good tons of info.you've done really well with your weight loss what diet are you following
i did an 8 weeks of ww and lost 16lbs. now i am just using everything that i learned to help me make better choices. fad diets work great for some but i want to take off the weight and keep it off so i know that i have to retrain my brain and my body, which is not an easy thing. what has helped me the most is keeping a journal of everything that i eat and drinking at least 64 oz. of water a day and i also walk everyday. i have slowed down over the summer (i teach and summers are the hardest) but once school starts back it is much easier for me to take control.
ireland....i have alwasy wanted to visit there. is it as pretty as all the pictures?
thats brilliant you're doing really well.it's very hard to get it all under control.I had lost all my weight befor i had my baby (was trying for 15yrs so losing weight helped)but its all outa control now
Ireland is a great place to live some parts are gorgeous and really pretty you'll have to make a visit sometime you would love it
that is a long time to be trying for a baby, congratulations!! i know that you must be overjoyed. just don't be to hard on yourself with regards to diet and all, take baby steps. try making one change a week or month and set mini goals that are attainable; but most of all enjoy every minute you have with your baby because before you know it they are 14 yrs old and taller than you are. the weight will come off, just stay positive and do your best...that is all any of us can do.
Hiya chunkygirl
what diet are you following i'm finding it really difficult at the moment.I'm looking for someone to give me a magic diet that needs no effort and encourages you to eat all your fave things(some hope)
