Hi! I'm Jessica and I'm starting my heathly eating all over again after having my first child, a son, six months ago. He's my pride and joy but I've put myself on the back burning and my family first after he was born. I'm ashamed to admit after only gaining 14lbs during my pregnancy, losing all of that after I had him, I've dreadfully gained it all back. I was 300ish when I got pregnant now I'm 314 -- AHHHH!!! I'm only 22 and I need to get this in control! I was exercising and dieting before I got pregnantt with my son and realized dieting wasn't for me, it was best for me to eat healthier then to diet. So I've decided to jump back on the healthy lifestyle wagon and get this big old butt of mine moving! I'm so glad to find a board were I know I won't be judged and it's for people who need to lose alot of weight like me, not a couple pounds.

I look foward to meeting all you wonderful ladies and being with you on our wonderful weight loss journey.

Question, what is everyone doing food and exercise wise to lose weight? I will be watching what I eat, eating more veggies and fruit and lots of protein (since I'm anemic after having my son) with portion control (eventhough I don't have problems with that thankfully).

Thanks ladies!!

I live in eastern NC.

I was looking through the newspaper and I seen an ad for the study. I thought it was pretty neat, hoping to get a call tomorrow.

Jena - I'm trying six small meals a day. How is wheat pasta? I bought some an still yet to try it. Also congrats on such a huge weight loss! I hope I can do as well as you do. I'm going to start walking (loove going to our local boardwalk with hubby and my son) and doing my pilaties again. I'm thinking about yoga too. Sounds fun!!

Hi welcome to the board. And Congrats on your new baby. I agree it is nice going to a board where everyone isnt trying to lose just a few pounds. Its nice to know you're not alone. It sounds like you know what works for you. I haven't figured that out yet..lol
