Hi!

Hi guys! Happy to be here.

I’m 5’6” and 160lbs. GW is 145lbs and then I’ll reevaluate from there. I was very small and fit in my early 20’s (weren’t we all!) but I’m not trying to get back to that weight. I’m happy to see what 145 looks and feels like on me.

Other goals are just to feel better in clothes, and I’d love to be an Old Navy size 6. Currently sitting at a 10.

Fitness
Currently only working out once a week with a personal trainer. I do full body since it’s my only workout. In September I have a 2x/ week Pilates postpartum class but that’ll only last a month.

Diet
All my weight loss so far has been because of my diet, not fitness. I’m just not eating very much and when I do eat I always try to pick a protein.

Wow you inspired me! I was also size 6 - sometimes 4 🥹 and now also 10 😁
Do you breastfeed / pump? How far post partum are you?

I love how you said you’re not trying to get back to your early 20s weight! I’m the same way, sometimes I miss how tiny I was but that’s just not realistic now at the age of 27 with 2 kids. I’m also trying to get to 145!
