Losing Weight with Healthy, Natural Food

In December of 2020, while we were trying to get pregnant, I weighed 280lbs. Yep, I was almost 300 lbs. I am quite tall, but this is still a very unhealthy weight. It really scared me. I was wearing a size 22. God blessed us with this pregnancy despite my weight issues. During the pregnancy, I lost about 30 lbs. I wasn't trying to lose it, but it was nice to see the scale at 250 a month after I delivered. During the holidays, Little Bug's first Christmas, I gained back 5 lbs. I was wearing size 20. I was still very unhealthy. I've never liked working out...it just feels like a waste of time and I hate being hot and sweaty. By March, though, I finally had my motivation. Little Bug had abs and I had rolls. That seemed backwards. I asked on Facebook if anyone knew of a personal trainer. Pete, that's what I will call him, reached out and has been my guiding light.

He pushed me to start Paleo. I thought it was just a bunch of craziness, but he really believed in it. My Dr agreed with him, so I joined the band wagon. Believe it or not, IT HAS WORKED!!! This morning I weighed in at 226! I've lost a total of 36lbs since I started with Pete. I still have a long way to go. At 5'10" I hope to get down to 175. I have learned a ton about myself and my body. I've learned so much about healthy foods and the value of that food. Stay tuned to hear about all I've learned.
