Looking for some support !!

Hello all,
I am glad that I found this sight because I know that what I really need to lose the extra weight is the support of people like you who are most likely going through the same experiences.

I am a first time mom of a nine month old beautiful baby girl who is worth every pound gained. That being said, now that she is a healthy happy little person, I would also like to be a healthy happy LITTLE person.

When I got pregnant I was 150 pounds, but quite muscular and wore a size 10 pants. This was okay with me, however, I probably could have used to lose another 10 pounds. Pregnancy put another 45-50 pounds on me. I am now down to 168, but would like to be at 150 or 145 realistically speaking.

I have been walking approx. 1 and 1/2 hours per day and have been trying to stick to a 1200 calorie per day diet. This seems to work when I truely follow it, however, my main problem is that I will be good for a few days, then I will be naughty and binge on high calorie/high fat stuff. NOT GOOD. It seems like in those moments, I loose sight of my goals, and self respect, and just indulge myself. I feel guilty after as well, which does not help.

I am looking for some support and some stories to let me know that I am not alone.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks. :) :)
 
Hi & welcome to the forum!

Hmmm....maybe 1200 is just a little too low for you then? Maybe try upping it to 1300 in a day? Then again, the popular idea for calorie counting is to up your calories every 4th day. So....maybe you could keep it at 1200 for 3 days then 1500 or so every 4th day? That might take care of that problem for you. You are doing great!
 
Yay for babies!

Congratualtions on the new baby girl, Newmom! I think you're doing great to have lost so much of your baby weight already.

(I'm new too, this is my first post.)

Thank you all for your welcomes and encouragement. :D

I was wondering what is the best way to communicate with others within this website to maybe have discussions about losing weight or getting help when faced with a craving. :mad:
