@twinmama Ah, this is great! Thanks for starting this. I have no idea what discord is... lol.
A bit more in depth about me:
Sorry it’s so long!
Since high school I’ve always been about 140-155 lbs at 5’4”. In 2014 my husband and I were expecting our first baby. I gained a lot of weight, something like 55lbs. My pregnancy was issue free until my 38 week appointment when we found out our daughter passed away. I was induced that night and gave birth to our stillborn daughter then next morning. I left the hospital with empty arms and weighing 205lbs. Life sucked in so many ways.
Eventually i put my grief into working out and counting calories and over the next year and a half I got down to 154lbs. We decided we were ready to try again and got pregnant after a few months of failed attempts. This time I watched what I was eating a lot more and only gained about 35lbs. Our second daughter was born in February 2016.
I didn’t start really trying to lose weight until October 2016 (having a baby and being a sahm was quite the adjustment.) I started at about 172lbs.
I currently weigh 131lbs. I lift 5 days per week Monday through Friday. I’m currently running nsuns while continuing my cut.
Currently shooting for 1325 cals per day but usually hit around 1250 while being content. As opposed to other times I’ve lost weight, I’m incorporating a lot of veggies whenever I can to make myself fuller and stretch my calories. This isn’t the first time I’ve tried to cut at 1200-1300 calories. I’ve done so in the past but filled my days with crap food that didn’t keep me full or satisfied. I didn’t stay on those calorie amounts very long because I simply thought I couldn’t maintain it.
I do cardio here and there primarily for heart health. I’ve been avoiding it since I lowered my calories because it makes me ravenous!
I don’t have a target weight number. At this point I’m simply looking at aesthetics and trying to get rid of my mommy pooch. I have stretch marks that I’m so proud of, but this layer of fat has to go!
Edit: words and numbers
