Have you ever noticed how many resolutions people make for the new year? I know I do every year! I can’t even think of a year where lose weight was not on my list of things to do for the year. Last year I actually had some success in losing weight, well I guess technically that started in 2014 when I got pregnant.
We had moved in with my parents to help us save up for a house and me and my mom started doing lots of weight loss stuff together. We joined several dietbets and I actually lost some weight. This is probably a huge reason I got pregnant in the first place. Over the course of my pregnancy I lost quite a bit of weight. I am not sure what I was directly before getting pregnant but I know when I moved in with my parents I was up to 252.2 pounds. This is not good for anyone with a 5’7″ frame, even with thicker bones. After having Andria I was down to 210. This is a pretty good weight loss for me.
I exclusively pumped for 13 months and during that time I ate everything under the sun. This was mostly because I was nervous of losing my precious “supply.” I never had an issue with that after my milk finally came in all the way. Around about month 9 I decided I didn’t care if I lost some supply (I was also donating about 200 ounces a month.) I started on the 21 Day Fix Diet and workouts. I know this is a really popular diet right now and me and my mom had purchased it right before I got pregnant so I finally decided to try it. Mostly because I was tired of being overweight. I know my husband loves me very much and doesn’t really care how much I weight but during the last pregnancy along with having to worry about blood clots I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes.
I know we would like to have another child and I would rather not have to deal with that again so I decided now was the time to lose weight. In August 2015 I started losing weight. I slowed down around the holidays as I know so many people do.
For all intents and purposes when I talk about my weight loss I will start with January 1, 2016. This is the day my life will begin. I joined a new diet bet, I will continue to join new diet bets as I meet the goal of the previous one to help me snowball the weight loss.
January 1, 2016 I am at:
Weight 226.2
Body Fat 47%
Inches 253.75
This number will go down!
