Hi there!


I'm an old timer to the SBD and the board~ I began for the first time around 2005/2006 and continued until I became preg in June 2007 (a blessed surprise!). Had great success although I didn't have much to lose I settled in right around 110lbs. I'm petite and this was a great weight I felt wonderful AND happy.


We just had our 6th bundle of joy March 18th ~ Lily. She's such a beautiful baby and we are enjoying her very much.


I'm now 37 (ACKK!) so post partum isn't quite the same as it when I had my first at 21 lol. I gained 32lbs while preg with Lily. I weighed around 143lbs when she was born. I lost down to 117lbs within the first 2 weeks ~ it was great! However now the scale has slowly crept back up to 121lbs. I've now tried to start phase 1 twice and within 2 days I've totally broken every rule. I think I'm having such a difficult time because of the fact I'm coming off of a pregnancy during which I ate whatever appealed to me (had horrible morning sickness). I have no discipline. I keep buying the food I know I should eat but then I'll end up eating Dh's sun chips or the kids oatmeal creme pies *UGH!*. This is so much harder this time. I need to just get with the program (so to speak). I know it works and really I don't eat pasta, white flour etc anyway (don't care for the taste) junk (chocolate) is my weakness. Also I'm formula feeding so I don't need anything additional as breastfeeding moms would.


Anyway I decided to start posting again, maybe feeling accountable will help. I plan to start all over TOMORROW with phase 1 AGAIN ~


wish me luck!
