Hi my name is Amelia. I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on March 17^th. It has been a whirlwind of life and a huge learning curve as a new mom. I still had 32.5 extra pounds on me after having my baby. Not cool but that was expected. Gaining 17 more pounds due to stress when Zach was 4-6weeks old and in the Edmonton Stollery was definitely not expected. I had found myself eating breakfast at 11am even though I was up at 6am, eating random bags of easy snack food and on my one good meal a day did not find any time to add any vegetables. Feeling hectic about it all and knowing I wanted to lose my baby weight healthily and as soon as possible I gave Jenny Craig a call. I was able to (and wanted to) start right away! On May 26^th my weight was 204.9lbs. It is a lot higher than I expected it to be. I am not sure where it all came from -baby weight? baby surgery stress weight? poor eating? Either way it was time to get back to me.



 
These are my Jenny Craig start weight pictures. Definitly would of done retakes if I saw the expression on my face but it does show that I am unhappy/uncomfortable with where I am at.  The good thing is that every picture after this will be better and it will feel good to look back and see the difference!


My goal is 20lbs. I find it overwhelming to set my goal at my pre-baby weight but I definitely want to keep going after 20. Besides this way I can celebrate and feel great about hitting my goals along the way.

So far I can say the Jenny Craig menus have been just what I needed! I have been eating so much healthier right from the start. It lays out a plan to incorporate vegetables, fruits, milk and fat servings. Some of those I had not really added to my day for weeks! The menu has been so easy to follow and I can proudly say I have been eating within half an hour of getting up and eating every 2-3 hours over my day! I feel so much better about what I am putting in my body and now find time to add veggies to my meals.

It will be 4 weeks tomorrow. I feel good about my progress so far. I am glad I gave Jenny Craig a call and I look forward to seeing where my weight and measurements are at. I will update soon!
