I've been struggling to lose weight for awhile. Back before I got married I was never really fat. But I did have chubby times. When I was single it was easy to be a gym rat and make the weight come off. But now I'm a mom and I wouldn't change that for the world. But along with being a mom came many unwanted pounds.
After having my first daughter I got big. Like, the biggest I'd ever been. I was on a weight loss train when I got pregnant again. And once again, after the birth of my second daughter I found myself with unwanted pounds.
As of today I'm 1.5 pounds bigger than when I got pregnant with my baby. Not bad I guess considering she's 6 1/2 months old. But that means I'm still as overweight as I was when I got pregnant. So now, what do I do?
I'm starting this blog to keep myself on track. I want my pre-babies body back. I want to feel like me again.

I got tired of being the fat mom. So I did something about it. I'm a work in progress. I run a lot. Someday the last 15 pounds will run away like the other 65 did, right?

This is on hiatus...I can't remember the last day I didn't exercise so I really can't afford to do this right now. I may try again if I start to slack off.

HI natalie, stumbled over this site from WS...My son is four months old now too but I'm still far behind my prepreg weight! anyways, I'll be following your journal if you don't mind..I might get some encouragemnt here :)
I'm excited that you've made this blog! I too, need to lose this pregnancy poundage! I can't stand it! My baby's 6 months old as well (as you know:) and I still sit here fat. GRRR, hopefully I can get some motivation here!
good for you
I agree. It's tough, but not impossible. It's just a matter of trying to find balance among the crazy roller coaster of life. You're doing great to be back at the pre-pregnancy weight just after 6 months.
Take it one day at a time and don't get to down on yourself when you slip. We can definitely enjoy the journey even though it's hard. Hard work and focus and it'll start melting away.
