I have been battling my weight since having kids. Before my first child in 2005 I weighed 125 lbs, after my last child in 2007 I was up to one 150. I got down to 139, after some hard work. Now that I am home with 3 kids aged 3-6, who fight constantly and stress me out, I am back up to 157. According to the BMI chart I am obese, since I am only 5’2″.
I would love to lose these last 30 lbs! I have tried everything from hardcore exercise, to sketcher shapeups, even weight loss pills, Nothing is working. I am going to work my butt off these next couple of months to get in shape, and would love your support.
My main problem with the way I look is my body shape, All of my fat is belly fat. My hips can fit into a size 9 pair of jeans, but jeans that go over the belly have to be a size 12 (except that’s to big). So I am a in-between non-existence size.
Stress is a big factor in my life right now, and the main reason why I think I can’t lose weight. My husband is working on his PHD and is always at school or studying. Add in cooking, cleaning, laundry, and 3 kids and that is a lot of stress to handle.
This is my motivation………….
I don’t want to look like this anymore.
NO I am Not Pregnant.
I understand – battle with weight also.
Any plans on how to do this?
I am just going to work my butt off with exercise, walk now that its warm. Try to eat healthy.
I am with ya on this one- only mine isn’t young weight it is old weight- the tummy crept up on me after going through the ‘change’ . I hope to keep reading your updates & see you losing !
It was dark when I woke. This is a ray of snusnhie.
