"starting" for the final time

Posted on February 15, 2015

I have struggled with my weight the last 12 years (wow, has it really been 12 years?!) I am 26 and just had my 2nd baby. I gained 30lbs during my pregnancy and had my daughter 3 months ago. I have only lost 10lbs. Needless to say, I am 20lbs above my prepregnancy weight AND on top of that was overweight to start with. Im ashamed to say this but I need to say it. I need to be embaressed to change...I cant keep going back to my old ways...I weigh 200lbs and am 5'4. Im still wearing maternity pants because i cant put on my regular ones. My biggest before this pregnancy was 188lbs and id fluctuate between 160-188lbs. NEVER have I been 200lbs. I feel disgusting. Most of all, I need to be a better role model for my kids. This is it...Im not getting younger and im tired of saying the same things over and over again. Im ready for this. I need this

The key to real weight loss is motivation - you sound very motivated! I am 5'2" and hit 194 and couldn't believe it. I made the conscious decision to lose the weight for my health (ok and I wanted to wear cute clothes again but really it was mostly for my healthy). You CAN do it if you REALLY want to. Clean healthy eating (and tracking!) and exercise of any kind will get you there and slow and steady wins the race. It is a journey not a sprint. Good luck and keep your goals in mind all the time. This IS in your control!

From the look of your photo you have a lovely little support and motivation crew on your side! Just take it one day at a time and make changes that suit your lifestyle. You've totally got this :)

Britni, you can do this. You want to make the changes for the right reasons, and you are still young enough to make those changes. Hang in there!
