New year. New You! It’s time to wage war against your fat and put those muffin-tops and saddle bags to rest for good. Join us in losing 5 pounds this month!

I’ve been on a mission to eradicate adipose from my lower half for almost 2 years now. Half way into my pregnancy, despite my best efforts to not gain a huge amount of weight, I started looking like a blimp. Ugly stretch marks started to appear on my thighs, even though I slathered every anti-stretch mark cream and lotion available from my neck to my ankles at least 2 times a day. It didn’t work. Not only that, it made me feel like I did something wrong.

I tried so desperately to retain my perfect flesh as I watched it get ripped away from me as my body and belly grew bigger. By the time I gave birth, I didn’t even want to look at myself in a mirror, let alone be naked in front of one.

After months of trying to ignore how awful I felt about my body and just take care of my newborn, I finally decided I had to do something about it. My weight and the way I looked affected how I felt about myself so much, that it made going on with daily life extremely difficult.

This past Fall I started walking everyday, exercising, and was willing to try anything that might help. So I sent my squishy butt and saggy boobs to Mama Mio Bootcamp! After a little over a month on the program, I felt a huge change within myself as well as changes on the outside too. It really kicked me into high gear of taking my body back.

In mid October, I started using Bliss Slim City Set. By early November, I was beginning to see some results and posted briefly about the products.

Then in November, I decided to give Sensa weight loss program a try. I started 11/1/2008 and I weighed almost 133 at the time. A whopping 23 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight. (Yeah you added right, I weighed 110!)

I didn’t see any huge changes in my weight with the first month of Sensa. I only lost like 1 pound. But I decided to press on. Good things don’t come easy… SO I started on month 2 of the Sensa. This time it went much better.

Now it is January 2, 2009 and I am starting month 3 of the Sensa weight loss program. Right now, I weigh 125.2 lbs. So during month 2 of the diet, I lost 8 pounds! That’s like 2 pounds a week! That was without changing my exercise program (which is little over 15 minutes 3x a week) and without changing the foods I was eating.

I have a goal of getting down to 120 by February 1st, 2009. That’s just another 5 pounds this month. I will feel so good if I can do that! Won’t you join me in losing 5 pounds this month?

    Its a very good saying that mother is a second name of God and be a mother is also gift of God.And after pregnancy its a challenge for women to lose their weight because it will take around 6 months to lose weight. But by 30 days diet you can lose pregnancy weight easily.
