Lost 6 pounds!

[Freyja]

Two weeks ago I decided that I was ready to make a change!

I´ve been overweight for almost all my adult life and have never really felt motivated to make a change. You see, I´ve always been quite happy with the way I look, despite having a "horrible" stomach after 5 pregnancies (and 1 c-section). However, now I am totally fed up with my stomach and want a tummy tuck. Don´t want to have it done until I´ve lost at least 22lbs though!

I signed up on www.myfitnesspal.com and started logging my food intake 9 days ago. I´ve also started taking longer walks.
I´ve lost 6lbs so far!!!
I know that most, if not all of it, is water weight and that I won´t continue losing weight at this rate but it´s such a great kickstart for me!

Good for you!

I only had two (difficult) pregnancies, and when DD was 6 finally had my tummy tuck. Muscles separated, so it was a big procedure (surgeon took about 6 inches vertically off my skin and pulled the muscles back together vertically inside). DH was not really on board, but I finally said I needed it. I tried all sorts of exercising to get my shape back, but you can't exercise those muscles back once they're torn, and you can't exercise skin away! If you need any encouragement, feel free to PM me. I am so glad I did it, even though I recently gained a few pounds (why I'm here LOL). Yes I have a 14 inch horizontal scar, but it's faint and I am so glad to have had it done.

I agree to get to your ideal weight if you can first! Take care of yourself - it's hard to do when you're always taking care of family first.

Keep it up!!
