[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Ok wow, didn’t know this would turn into arguing.

No, I absolutely will not take a semaglutide. I am only 10 pounds overweight on the BMI scale - 175 at 5’8” when I’d prefer to be 140-145, or I’d even take 150!

I’m well aware that my poor diet is to blame for my weight gain and lack of weight loss, so I’m focusing on that. I love working out and lifting weights - I had a trainer all last year, focused on muscle and did not control my diet so I didn’t lose any weight, then I gained an additional 10 pounds through my last pregnancy. I always struggle to get back to this routine until my baby is closer to 1. But seeing the state I’m in, where my fat clothes are too small, I feel motivated to get exercising again, which in turn will motivate me to continue to eat better, which is what I’m really focusing on now. And today is day 3 of no Diet Coke!

And I’m sorry, PP who’s harping about the weather, it is truly miserable to walk outside here in the summer, which is basically until mid-October. I am actually generally a highly motivated person, but have lost motivation and willpower in the past few years, and that’s why I am overweight. But never in my most disciplined times of my life would I walk outside in the heat and humidity! Please move on from this topic though - I am well aware that my lack of willpower (over my diet) is why I’m in this mess. [/quote]

Good on you for the diet coke, change, OP. Just keep adding small changes. If you like to exercise and have had a trainer, what about finding one of those mom bootcamp workouts where you can bring baby? Or join a gym with childcare? I also find that making a change for the better tends to snowball. Keep going![/quote]
