Thats awesome Aliss! Great inspiration for me
I need to make a weightloss ticker, but embarrassing for all BNB to see - but maybe I need it too keep myself on track!

EDITED: done it!

@TWIN! I was so open with everyone! I was like... I weigh 308 pounds and im humiliated. I figured if i told as many people as I could, then I couldnt back out!

 

[twinmummy06]

I dont think I could do that to anyone but family and close friends, I would want the ground the swallow me up just mentioning my weight. I love having an online support group

 

[Antsynewlywed]

Do you all mind if I join you? I am 12 weeks postpartum and my weight has settled around 228 lb. This is 8 lb over my pre-pregnancy weight and almost 80 lb over where I'd like to be! My goal is 150 (BMI 25), which I haven't seen since high school. My primary motivation for losing weight right now is to prepare to conceive my #2 since I struggled with TTC #1 and with my pregnacy. PCOS and prediabetes before pregnancy caused me to have a bad case of gestational diabetes and I don't want to go there again if I don't have to. My secondary motivation is, of course, to look and feel fantastic!

WELCOME LADIES!

Welcome!
Candace, I'm a total Biggest loser fan! We've started watching it on Netflix, so we're on season 3 right now. We just bought the game for Wii and are doing a Biggest Loser Challenge with my family. Our first weigh in is on Sunday, so I'm hoping for a big number!

Kdea,
I'm right there with you! PCOS, insulin resistance which has caused me to have 3 miscarriages. Now I'm losing weight so I can conceive my next child, and all the health benefits of course. I need to lose a minimum of 25lbs before we start TTC. South Beach Diet and Chiral Balance is what my doctor recommended for me (and all others with PCOS). Today is day 3 for me on SBD and day 4 on CB, feeling great! I'll know at my Sunday weigh in how much I've lost!

 

[twinmummy06]

Welcome!

All this biggest loser talk has got me lined up with some shows to watch, I'm getting the complete seasons as I've only seen one. Might watch it while I ride my exercise bike instead of sitting on my bum

 

[Mom2mmcjg]

Good idea Twinmummy!

I have never heard of Chiral Balance...will be spending my evening researching!

I totally forgot this was here!

I've been eating 1200 calories a day. Mostly veggies, brown rice, fruit smoothies and skinless chicken breast. Everything is going great. I've really only had water to drink. I'm really hoping that this makes a difference!

I'm hoping the Zumba will build up my exercise tolerance, and I can go back to the gym next week.

So, I reweighed after my first post since it had been a while and my actual starting weight is 228. Weighed in today as my official weekly weigh in and I've lost 1.6lb this week! It's a good start, especially since I didn't really fully commit this past week.
