Starting back after having a baby

Postby Lena » October 12th, 2008, 9:47 am

I had a baby six months ago and have gained virtually all of the weight back that I had lost two years ago. As I have watched my friends and family start and restart on program I have been dying to start again and finally did two weeks ago! I am so excited and anxious to lose this weight again...I have bins of clothes that I want to get into, considering the only clothes that fit me right now are maternity clothes.

I decided that even though I feel a little awkward that I want to participate in the forum this time instead of just reading the messages. I want to do whatever it takes to not only lose the weight, but to keep it off this time!

I look forward to getting to know others of you with the same goals!

Welcome Lena! Good for you for taking that step, meaning deciding it's a good time to do a while without quite as much food-gratification. I know after pregnancy is a motivating time to see just how good you can look again and how fast you can do it. That should help you. You might find, like I do, that the forum is a big help when you're in need of some reassurance that we can keep doing this. Glad to see you.
