hello all i am soo happy that i found a website like this, because i feel this can be a real support while trying to lose alot of weight.
let me start by introducing myself.
i am a 25 year old mother of 4 children, their ages range from 6 months, 3,5 and almost 7 years.
i am almost 7 years married to a nigerian man, who i feel is very supportive.
i live abroad (in ireland) so i don't have any family around me, wich is very hard at times.
so being a young mother ( i was 18 when i had my daughter) i have been putting on the weight ever since.
i was 67 kilo's when first pregnant with my daughter (okay first trimester!). over the years i have been putting on the weight gradually after each subsequent pregnancy. i never really lost alot of weight after having my children.
now i am at my heaviest, weighing 95 kilo's. i only lost 5 kilo's after having my son.
about 2 to 3 weeks ago i saw a friend of mine, who i see occasionally.
she was like 'well youre getting bigger!' like she thaught i was pregnant.
when she said that, i had a HUGE wake up call.
even my husband was in the car, and i asked him upset 'do you think i am getting bigger?'
being the gentleman that he is, he said no. i now told him, please tell me the truth, because i am soooo upset right now.
so that was the trigger for me that i really need to get something done.
i have calculated my bmi, and it's almost 31, wich classifies me as obese.
i have a huge amount of weight too lose, and i hope i can do it.
i am going on holidays to my home country (the netherlands) in 2 weeks, and really hope i can atleast lose 5 kilo's before i go, so i won't look as bad as i look now.
i still have a long yourney to go, but i hope i can make a headstart.
