I have finally had it! I am a 26 year old woman with three kids. My youngest is 2 1/2. So there is no reason for me to be at the weight that I am. I was in the army for 7 years, so after my first 2 were born I had no choice but to lose the weight. But now, its just me, and I haven't found the motivation to make me do it. I have to be careful with the exercises that I choose too, I have a back diability and arthritis in my right hip due to a previous injury. So right now I am just working on the diet part and hopefully soon I can find a workout routine that will work and not hurt.
So here's where I am at: I am 5'4" and about 175 lbs. I am the same weight now that I was at nine months pregnant. This is not acceptable.
I used to drink 6-8 cans of coke a day, and I never ate breakfast and rarely lunch. But my doctor said that I need to eat breakfast. So I have made a few changes. I cut the coke out of my diet entirely, now I drink water, milk, and fruit juice (mainly cranberry) I am trying to eat more breakfast (Total Raisin Bran) and a small lunch. I am really trying to make this work. I want to be able to have the energy to play with my kids this summer at the park. Last year I just watched and thats not right, I want to be WITH them.
Help! Does anyone have any suggestions or comments on what I am doing wrong, right, or not at all? Any help will be welcomed. Thank you in advance.
