According to all calculations, I am considered to be obese…
Dang!!! Obese? I had no doubt that I was heavy and overweight. But, obese? You know from previous posts that I've started running. Well, perhaps "running" is a strong word. I've taken up a walk/jog routine that seems to be a good starting point. Now, Lee and I are on Weight Watchers.
I gained over 40 pounds with my pregnancy. Any surprise Nathanial was 9 lb 6 oz when he was born? No, I did not have gestational diabetes. I just packed on pregnancy weight!
Within the first 6 weeks postpartum, I dropped 30 of those pounds. My highest weight during pregnancy was 222 and I got down to 191 in about two months. I then cut sugar do to my inner ductal yeast problem and lost another 10. Then, I hovered. And hovered. Finally, I decided to try Weight Watches.
So far, it is working! Right now, my goal is to lose 20 more pounds, which would put me down to 155. I'm okay with that weight. My question is, technically, I am supposed to be around 120-135. Should I shoot for that or be content when I get down to 155? Do the numbers and statistics dictate what is healthy for everyone or should I use my own judgment? Your thoughts….
