Hey all,
I'm looking for some other buddies to hop on this thread and lose weight together!
A little background on me:
I'm 5'10", and my absolute ideal weight would be somewhere between 150-180 lbs. However, I have found that I can safely and healthily maintain around 190-195 lbs without doing anything drastic or getting frustrated. So that's my goal right now. (I've always struggled with my weight)
As of this morning, I was 230 lbs but I'm sure it's going to drop over the next few weeks as I just had my baby girl last Sunday! Hoping it drops another 10-15 lbs before it ultimately stalls out...
I gave birth to a little boy in January of 2013, after gaining 52 lbs during my pregnancy.
I was able to lose some of it, but then I gained it all back plus a few extra while I was breastfeeding. I was 252 lbs as of his 1st birthday!
I got down to 240 lbs before getting pregnant a second time. However, I was more careful this pregnancy and I actually lost weight during 1st and 2nd Tri, then gained it back during 3rd... and ended up going in to delivery at 239 lbs. I was very happy with that.
So, now that I'm 1 week postpartum, and breastfeeding... while I can't exercise yet until I get clearance at 6 weeks, I want to get together a good eating plan that allows me to breastfeed safely and not affect my supply, and still lose the weight. As of today, I am targeting 40 lbs to lose!
Anyone else out there want to hang with me?
