Hi there!! oh boy..let's see..a short version

Got heavy in college, did Jenny Craig and got thin. Got married...got heavier over the years. I'm 5'8" and 201# size 16/18. I did just have a baby (#2, he's 4.5mo and super cute :goodvibes ) but weighed 201 jusr before getting preggo. So good job for me on getting baby weight off. I did do so much better re: weight gain w/ #2.

I signed back up w/ JC at 6wks post partum but have since quit going. I was doing really well w/ working out almost every day which is a feat w/ a 3yr old and new baby! But I went on a girls weekend retreat and ate all the junk food and then JUST got back from WDW a few days ago so it's been hard getting back on track.

DH absolutely loves me the way I am. After 10yrs of marriage he still chases me around like a newlywed. We have lots of discussion re: this. I keep explaining it's not for him but for me etc etc. He is supportive but sometimes I feel like he offers me something bad and he knows my willpower is bad!

I hope posting on here and reading about how well you other folks are doing will inspire me! I'm thinking about 'calling Jenny' again. I feel like I do do better when I have someone to be accountable to ya know. It's easy to rationalize things to yourself or your best friend.

Anyway..just saying hello :wave2:
 
:wave2: back! :)

Jenny's on hold, would you care to speak with her? Welcome fellow WISHer.

I thought I found a hint in her post.
 
Hi! One thing that I have learned is you wont fully do it until your ready. I have struggled for 2+ years and then finally Feb 1 I said okay I am going to do it and I have actually stuck with it and if you knew me you would know what a HUGE feat that was! I am sure others will have a lot better advice for you but just wanted to say that .

I gained most of my weight AFTER I had children. I had all 4 in 3 years so I really packed on the pounds but was still under 200 after my son was born. After his birth was when I really packed on the pounds ( 40lbs) on top of all the pregnancy weight from the 4 kids so I am about 100lbs overweight.

sorry to babble on....lol
 

Thanks!

I do feel like I'm ready. I mean I WANT to be thinner/healthier...but who doesn't want some Doritos or fast food every now and then.

I think I figured out what my problem was today. Remember I sai I just had a baby...well I'm no longer nursing and had one AF last month and I'm due now any day so I think I'm PMS'ing big time..as also indicated by my very short temper today :crazy: I've forgotten what the mood swings feel like I guess and it perhaps explains why I've wanted to eat anything I see today! I'd been doing well w/ eating and exercising.

Let me get through these next few days w/o eating the kitchen and hope I get back on track!

Thanks again for the welcome!
