New Here..
Hello everyone my name is Kylee (BluBell) I live in South Adelaide, South Australia.
I am 32 years old, Married with 3 children aged 13, 10 and 8 . 1 Boy and 2 Girls.
I gained no weight with my first but with every child after that I gained 10 kilos per pregnancy.
I am only 5 ft 3 inches so it really shows when I gain weight.
I became a stay at home mum and gained even more weight (up to about 75 kilos).
Then I went back to work when my little one was 2 and I worked 7 days a week, 10 hours a day and I soon became worn out, depressed ( was receiving harassment at work from my boss) and shown no appreciation.
For the year I worked 7 days a week I saw very little of my kids and husband and when I was at home I slept.
Luckily my husband was awesome and did all the house work and managed the kids for me.
I decided to go back to school in 2006 ( I went to Tafe and completed my certificate 3 in horticulture.) During that year I decided that I was sick of my weight and how I looked ( I had ballooned to over 80 kilos) so I changed what I ate.
I ate apples and drank lots of water during the day. Also I ate very small portions of food at tea time. I walked 10 kms a day, used the exercise bike and used my ab doer (amazing piece of equipement).
I ended up losing 25 kilos in 8 weeks then for the next 7 months I lost another 10 kilos so I lost 35kgs altogether.
I had a reasonably toned stomach and upper body but my legs and butt still weren't really changing.
I moved here to Adelaide and due to having to work 6 days a week and stress from work and my husbands job I have gained back weight, and lost my toning and I am so annoyed with myself for this.
I need support, guidance and back up.
I didn't rest at all during the 9 months exercising and wore myself down.
I also didn't do any weight training which
i have now found is very important for the lower half of my body.
I had no support and I really had no real knowledge but I am proud of my efforts I want to be a fit healthy person , I want to feel good about myself and I want to be able to wear a bikini to the beach..
I hope to learn stuff here for a better way of life and to not have to spend hours exercising to get great results.
Thanks for having me and I will see you all from Kylee.

Reason: re read and realised a few things weren't exactly as I wanted them.
