Getting started after baby!
I am a 32 year old new mom to a fabulous little girl! I live in the Ottawa/Gatineau area in Canada. I would like to lose about 120 pounds. I was on SparkPeople about 3 years ago, and with the food tracker and exercising, I managed to lose 30 pounds. I even ran three 5K races! I was really proud of myself. Then, I stopped monitoring my weight, stopped exercising and about half the weight lost came back.

I am a 32 year old new mom to a fabulous little girl! I live in the Ottawa/Gatineau area in Canada. I would like to lose about 120 pounds. I was on SparkPeople about 3 years ago, and with the food tracker and exercising, I managed to lose 30 pounds. I even ran three 5K races! I was really proud of myself. Then, I stopped monitoring my weight, stopped exercising and about half the weight lost came back.
I got pregnant with my beautiful little girl and had a healthy pregnancy. I only gained 10 pounds (as per my doctor's recommendation) and once the little one came out, I ended up not only losing the baby weight, but an additional 15 pounds! I was so thrilled, but that didn't last long. Due to breastfeeding issues, I took a medication that gave me cravings for sweets and a huge appetite. Lacking willpower to restrain myself, and spending my days in my yoga pants, I didn't notice to slow creep of weight. I gained 30 pounds in about 6 months! ARGH! Anyway, I'm not breastfeeding anymore, I'm going back to work in February and I am now the heaviest that I have EVER been :(
So I've decided to stop mopping around and do something about it. After all, the little one is starting to crawl and I need more energy to keep up! I had a bit of a false start in September, so I'm considering November 25 my true start date with SparkPeople. Yay!!
