Hey everyone im rebecca im 23 years old im from cork in ireland and i am a single mother of one little boy who is two. Growing up my weight was always constant until i hit my teens then with every new year came another stone and this continued until i fell pregnant at 20 with my son while i was pregantn i struggled to put on the necessary weight to keep my son healthy but thankfully he was fine then once i gave birth i breast fed for a year and lost a stone of baby weight in that year however this still left one stone over what i was before i was pregnant. A whopping 15stone. On the first of January this year i decided that since i am all my son has i want to be the best that i can be and even without all of the healthy aspects of losing weight i knew that feeling more comfortable in my own body would make me a happier person and hence being happier in myself could only have a positive effect on the life myself and my son could have. So i start to watch what i ate more carefully as i am someone who has never really dieted in my life ever..... and in feburary i joined a personal training gym on my first day there they weighted me and i had already lost 7 pounds on my own however since february and now i have only managed to loose 4 more pounds i finally broke the 200 pound barrier which was my first mini goal as i knew if i set a big goal for myself i wouldnt follow through and i know there are differences in my body ive lost 6 inches from my abdomen alone and have dropped almost two full jean sizes everyone is seeing a difference in me but im still feeling ok ive only lost one stone really i want to lose another 3 at least. im starting to feel the fit and healthy me is starting to become a bit unattainable i even havent gone to the gym in the last two weeks ive been feeling so down about it but ive set my date 22nd may to hit the gym hard again i just want to make sure im clear in my head of what my path is before the inside of the gym tears me down again! So thats me :)
 
Good luck with your journey Rebecca! I remember watching an episode of Supersize Vs Skinnysize when they had 2 mothers of young children on and they were both trying to get to a healthy weight so that they could play and run around with their children more and they didn't want their children to miss out on anything because of their weight situation. They also worried about what would happen in the future if they developed health problems due to their weight which could mean they couldn't look after their children as they'd like and could end up dependent on their own children, the kids having to care for their parents. Although it can be really worrying I think that is probably the best motivation anyone could have, you just need to keep focused on why you are doing it.
 
Ohhh my goodness! No need to stress! Did you realize that all the effort and money and stress that we invest in weight loss? I discovered that it doesn't have to be like that. You DONT need to buy a miracle pill or eat a special diet. Or exercise like a deranged mental patient. I figured out a program that works for mothers, fathers, everyday people. No special menus..no special exercises.. this program is a miracle!
