Hello all,
I'm tishirt....my short nickname for Latisha. I'm 26, I've been married for 1 year, and I'm expecting a child in September. I know it's weird for me to be on a weight loss forum while 7 months pregnant, but my weight is something that I've been battling before my pregnancy and I know I will have to deal with it afterwards as well. I've been trying to cut down on some calories to lose weight, but I am always tempted to snack at night. I can have a perfect day regarding caloric intake, but something hits me around 10-12pm to have a snack. I've been doing well about keeping track of what I eat daily, but I figured if I had some unbiased support and a way of seeing what I'm doing, it may work out better for me. My goal for now is to reduce my caloric intake to about 1500 per day. I also like to walk, so I can commit to walking 3-5 days per week for 1/2 hour. After my baby is born, I'd like to continue my eating habits, but increase my exercise to something more strenuous. My current weight (7 months pregnant) is 179lbs. Before my pregnancy, I was overweight at 160. My goal weight loss is 50 lbs, bringing me down to 130 (give or take a couple of lbs for the 2 months I have left of pregnacy.) Since I am starting today, I will aim for 1 year, July 7, 2007. I really have a hard time losing weight due to the fact that I love food so much, my husband is a constant snacker who doesn't gain weight, and sometimes my weight gain is caused by stress. I am really going full force with this today and I will track myself each day with hopes that progress will motivate me to continue. I am a very attractive woman and I've never really lacked much self-confidence until recently. It's not my pregnancy becuase I've felt this way since a few months before. It's time that I do something about it. After my son is born, I will enter into a new career and I don't want anything to hold back my confidence. Hopefully this forum will serve as a tool to reach my goal. I would like to request any advice or support anyone can offer me. After reading some posts on this site, I feel very motivated to achieve my goal!!!!
