The New Girl!
(Tuesday 2nd June 2009)
I found this site today & thought I would try it out!
Me so far…
I had my 1st child at age 19yrs and easily went back to under 10st without much effort… my average weight at that age was around 9st 7lbs (wow, to be that size again hey!)
I had my 2nd child over 2yrs ago now, so I can’t use the excuse of “I’ve just had a baby” anymore.
What really gets me down though is the realisation that I am the same weight now as I was at 9mths pregnant with Eve… :’-(
At just 5′ 3″ I ’should’ be around the 135lbs mark.
I started my dieting (this time around) about 2wks ago @ 39lbs over weight (Approx’ 12st 4lbs) I can’t believe I have let it get so out of control! :-O
Just a few months ago I got down to 154lbs (11st) from 11st 7lbs and felt really good knowing I only had 21lbs to go…. but life got stressful, which has made me feel low in self-esteem and I found myself at my heaviest of 12st 4lbs… the same weight as being at the end of my pregnancy in January of 2007 
I’ve yo-yo’d since having Eve 2yrs ago… managed to get down to 10st 4lbs at the end of 2007… then it all just went back on plus more….!!
I can’t continue this way… I’ve had a wake-up call from my body… it’s tired, moody & covered up in size 14 clothes that are getting too tight!
I miss the confident me, who fitted comfortably & easily into size 10/12 clothes, that is now being suffocated by the added weight!
It’s time for a new beginning, from now… not tomorrow or the next day!!
And any positive support would be greatly appriciated 
Thankyou for reading my 1st ever attempt at Blogging - hope I didnt bore you too much! Lol

Hey welcome to Buddyslim. Take your weightloss in baby steps (1-2lbs a week loss is more than enough) so you’ll be able to keep it off in the long term.
I’m 5 ft 4 and started this at 180+lbs… now at 146lbs… it can be done girlie. It’s a rough road at times, but it can be done.
