Hi! My name is Nancy and I am the mother of a gorgeous 20 month old girl. Although she weighed in at 10 lbs, I still had 80 pounds of pregnancy weight leftover. You read right...90+ lbs of pregnancy weight! Well, I assumed that it would just fall off with a little diet and some exercise and nursing...WRONG! Going from 102 to almost 200 lbs gave me Type 2 Diabetes, back problems and really slow metabolism. I have therefore decided that it is time to give this a try. Three of my friends have each lost 70+ lbs each and I am motivated. They are men but hell it's better than nothing.
I have created a personal challenge to stick to this diet and not cheat and try to exercise 3 times a week. I am determined to get back in shape and not be "wow, remember when Nancy was so tiny???"
I started on the 29th and have so far lost about 6 lbs of water but it makes me feel good. Please let me know if there are other mothers who have managed to meet or are on the path to success. I need a reality check.
take care,
Nancy
