Welcome Fat Ladies!

Why are you here? Chances are if you have stumbled upon this blog, you need to lose weight, you need a break from your crazy chaotic house, or you need to lock your children in a closet and cry and eat brownies. If you are a parent, you have most likely been here. 

About me. I am a momma of two little girls. By little, I mean very little. Two and 6 months. I stay at home with them during the day and most days, I love it. Most days. 

Pre-child, I weighed 115 pounds at 5 feet 4. I could run 10 miles like it was no big deal, and I ate whatever the hell I wanted to. Especially pasta. Mmmmm.....pasta.

 





This is one of the few pictures I can find from that time. What's sad is that I had such low self esteem that I HATED being in pictures. At 115 pounds. What was wrong with me?





Now I weigh 137 pounds, get winded jogging 30 feet (although it's getting better!), and survive on coffee and whatever I can shove in my face quickly.

What happened?!

I gained 60 pounds with my first. Yea, you are right, that's almost twice the recommend "high" of pregnancy weight gain. I was sick, and tired, and all I could eat is cereal.

I worked out some, but mostly I put on workout clothes and tennis shoes and walked around the house avoiding working out. I lost all but 5-10 pounds of it before I got pregnant with baby 2. 

With my second...I gained 80 friggin' pounds. YEEEESH. I gained a medium-sized elementary school child. I'm not exaggerating. I wish I was. You know how they say pregnant women glow, and you see all those supermodels and celebrities cradling their little bump over their toothpick sized legs? ----Not me. I look more like that green ghost with all the chins on the movie Ghostbusters that is always caught stuffing it's face. I hate being pregnant. But that's a whole other story.

So far I am about 17 pounds away from my goal! Which means I have lost 63 pounds. Sixty. Three. Pounds. Wow. That's amazing.

Keep in mind folks, this isn't the kind of pounds you lose from laying off the soda, and walking around your neighborhood once a week.  These are "don't even look at brownies, sweat, heart pounding" kind of pounds that I lost.

I started with eating healthier, and progressed onto eating healthier AND using the program Chalean Extreme. My before, progress, and after pictures are below for that. I'll write posts about both of these later. Don't you worry about googling and searching to find out what I am talking about. I will explain, give me a chance! (Remember, I have two kids, it takes a little bit for me to be able to sit down and write out anything that makes sense) 

Next up for me is Brazil Butt Lift. I'll post a picture of my big ugly butt when it arrives. You will see why I chose this program next :)

So here you are, here I am. I've lost weight and have more to lose. Maybe you do too, maybe you just want to be in better shape. So join me, or maybe just read on and think about joining me. 


Either way, welcome to my journey!
