Hi! Newbie to WISH

[triplefigs]

Hi! Glad to join you all!!! :flower:

I would like to lose 20 pounds, but my main reason for joining is to keep my body healthy. I have Diabetes and HBP, both of which developed during my triplet pregnancy and never resolved. I am overweight by about 20 pounds. Currently I am on blood pressure medicine, but the Diabetes is under awesome control (A1C of 5.9) with diet only. I'd love to be able to drop the medicine for my high blood pressure too!

I've been swimming laps (back, breast, fly, free) for 30 minutes. I'm now down to 28 minutes for the half mile! :cool1: I haven't been tracking my weight, but would like to join you and start! Would love to go to WDW slimmer (and be able to splurge a little on all that good food AND keep up with my kids!). My goal is to swim 4 days a week for 30 minutes and increase the distance that I swim each week.

I'm not really sure where I'm supposed to post, what info, the clip art, etc. Could someone please explain it all to me?

Thanks!

Welcome. :)

I too developed PIH while pregnant. I was borderline before but never consistantly enough for meds. I had find bp until 30 weeks in. It lowered and was back to borderline at 3 weeks pp but he kept me on bp meds until 6 week check up where he said come back in 2 weeks and if its still low to stop. I couldn't go back because insurance change and so I ended up stopping them since perscription ended. Well my bp was still running high finally I got new insurance and got back on bp meds. I had lost all but 5 lbs of pregnancy weight at 2-3 weeks but it all came back and for me I'm sure hbp is from weight. :( So i think if I get active and lose the weight I can get off the meds and hope to because in future we'd love to have atleast one more baby.


You can post anywhere. Most people have a 'club' or challenge they post with some two or more. So basically where ever you will fit in with your Plan and what not. ;)

Again welcome to the group.
