I thought I would never lose my pregnancy weight

I'm a busy working mother that lost 40 pounds and now feel so much more energy and strength.

 

While I was pregnant with my son, I questioned if I would ever be able to lose the weight I was putting on.

 

Once I gave birth to my son, I had put on over 40 pounds, and the thought of being able to button my old jeans up over my expanded stomach seemed almost impossible. I didn't want my stomach to stick out every time I wore a  going out dress or put on a sari. 

 

I began to buy clothes a few sizes bigger than my normal size, and wore clothes that covered up and hid my added weight, figuring it was just a temporary cover-up. 

 

I didn’t feel good about myself. I felt tired, like I could sleep all night long and still feel lethargic. I was drowsy, and didn’t have energy I used to. I also had a lot of pains in my lower back that made it hard for me to sit and stand.

 

In my wildest dreams, I never imagined that I would be able to wear my pre-pregnancy jeans in a size smaller than when I got pregnant.

 

After my second baby, I lost 20 pounds within 3 months after I started making changes to my diet. By the time my daughter was 6 months old, I was back to my pre-baby weight. And by the time she was 1, I was 20 pounds LESS than my pre-baby weight.

 

After 2 kids, I acheived the weight I wanted to be. Without changing my life. And more importantly, I have so much more energy, my body hurts and pains so much less, and I feel better every day when I wake up.

 

I started a website to share exactly how I lost weight and feel more energy, including tips and specific recipes that are easy and delicious. Sign up for my email list to receive my tips and tasty recipes at www.masalabody.com.
