All my life, I've had a struggle with my weight.I haven't been obese, but more like plump enough to feel self conscious with how I look.
After having my first child (26 yrs ago), my weight was at it's all time high of about 86 kgs. I decided then that I had to take control. I started walking and eating sensibly, and started to lose weight. I then fell pregnant with my 2nd child. I was more sensible with my eating through that pregnancy, and didn't fair so badly. After his birth, I got back to dieting, and got down to 58kgs, the smallest I have ever been in my adult life.
10 yrs later, and my 2nd marriage, I gave birth to my 3rd child. Weight was generally stable. Between 60-75kgs.
After my mother died, I lost allot of weight without even trying (probably due to stress), and found myself once again at 58kgs. Everyone around me said that I was too skinny!
That was 4 yrs ago, and in the last 2 yrs, my weight has slowly increased again.
I've recently been diagnosed with Hypothyroid (great!)which has slowed my metabolism.
Last time I weighed myself, I was 69kgs. I'm aiming for that scale to read 65kgs (or lower, if I can).
I'm an active person. I walk every morning with my dog for at least an hour, and I try to get to "Curves" every weekday. I have my own business- I'm a Massage Therapist, which can be quite physical.
So, here I go- down the weight loss path (again).
