07-7-2009 - After baby diets

My mood while writing this blog:
self conscious

Well, this is definitely the biggest i have ever been in my entire life & i'm just going to get bigger! I figure i will be like 250 by the time Silas gets here. (maybe more...i'll have to update-i get weighed tomorrow at my dr. appt). My goal after Silas is born is to get down to 140 bc i'm tall so too much less than that would just make me look sick. That's 110 lbs i want to lose! I mostly want to work on being healthy. I want to eat better & exercise. I have always been around 170 my whole adult & teenage life. I'm just so tired of being so big & inactive. I never exercise and i'm just so lazy. I eat junk and fatty country food and a lot of carbs that isn't good for you at all. I want to change my life mostly so i can make sure i'm here as long as possible to see my kids grow & grandchildren & so on. I want to be healthy & i would like to feel sexy too bc i have seriously only felt sexy a few times in my life. I hate being overweight and it's time i do something about it. I know breastfeeding will help with some weight. I'm going to stop cooking fatty foods & start eating healthy. I know i can do it. I plan to exercise every day, even if it's just taking a walk with Silas. I want to be able to run and not feel like i'm dying :) I'm going to get some light weights & as much stuff that i can do at home bc we can't afford a gym and i don't want to be away from Silas. I am giving myself 14 months to lose 110 lbs (250 down to 140). That's 2 lbs a week & that is the most that is advised to lose a week & easier to keep it off than bad diets that make you lose a lot at once. I hope i can lose it faster, but this is my goal so if i do lose faster then it will just make me feel like i have accomplished even more! I want to start eating healthier bc i want my son to be healthy too. I already feed him crappy foods & he isn't even here yet so tomorrow i'm going grocery shopping & the bad food habits are done with. I think it will help me a lot that i'm starting now instead of waiting till he gets here. I have already been walking a lot the past few days & i'm getting the healthy food tmrw. I also know that starting now will help Silas since i'm getting some exercise & going to be eating healthy foods for him. I can't wait to begin my healthy weight loss journey! I'll keep everyone updated on this after we have our babies! We can all lose our baby weight together :) lol. I'm just really going to need support while doing this & i know all of you will be here as well as my Hubby & others in my life! I have tried dieting & exercising before & i never kept it up & i always gave up. I feel i have the drive to do it now for my son and myself & i really hope i can do it this time!

I go tomorrow to get weighed again and am up to 193 so far. I weighed 176 to begin with but had put on 20 before getting prego. I love the pregnancy but hate the thoughts of keeping it all on. I will be just following my weight watchers books from home and walking in the fall + breastfeeding so I hope I get it all off and then some. 150 would be nice. Haven't seen the 150's in a while.
Its so hard to gain weight even when u know it's for the baby. I cried the second last dr visit.... I gained 9 pounds in one months. IT's scary!

I think this sounds pretty good. I think we will all want to lose weight when the babies come, maybe we could all help each other out. We could keep each other accountable and encourage each other. So far, I need to lose about 45lbs and I know that will go up until the baby comes.

I am with you sister! I am all about dieting after the baby is born. I have read that it is much easier to lose weight if you work out during your pregnancy. So, I bought a DVD that has awesome reviews – called “The Perfect pregnancy” and I love it! It is TOUGH, but she has beginner moves and advanced moves; I am hoping to work up to the advanced moves. I have always been overweight and now that I am going to be losing baby weight anyway, I also think now is the time!
