Hello---
I had my sleeve back in May 2014 & it was the best decision I could have made! I learned so many wonderful habits that I still use today--- I still read almost every nutrition label & make sure I get my water in! I had a baby back in December 2017 & gained 75 pounds of the 105 pounds that I lost.... talk about torture! The first 30 pounds came off fairly quickly, but it has been a struggle! I've slowly been losing and am proud to say that I have lost 47 of the 75 that I gained. (I gained 25 pounds before I even found out I was pregnant BTW).. So, here I am 5 years later & have 50 pounds to lose to get back to my goal weight! I'm tracking what I eat through an app called "Carb Manager" & making sure I get 10,000 steps each day, but sometimes I just feel like I am never going to get back to my goal weight! On top of all of this, my husband is ready for another baby! I do not feel like my body is ready for another baby... I'm terrified of what another baby will do to my body if I do not lose this weight first! I need some motivation, encouragement, and accountability! Anyone looking for the same? Any recommendations on groups to join to help keep myself motivated? Any fitbiter's out there that want to challenge each other?
