Feeling amazing now

Elise • Me

I weighed 197 at my heaviest 3 years ago. I just gave birth to my youngest child and started birth control again because that’s what my ob suggested. I opted for the shot. I weighed in at 145. I was breastfeeding and losing baby weight like most women do and then boom! Gaining again. But i have no appetite.

So now im 2 months post pregnancy and im back to 160. 170. What is going on!?! 180. 190. Oh come on now!! Im active and eating healthy. My sleep is horrible but come on! My kid doesnt sleep and my husband doesnt help. Im stressed beyond belief. No sleep, gaining weight, kids got acid reflux, my daughters fighting adhd symptoms, im stuck being a stay at home mom

Living in my in laws house where i am unwelcome. Trust me i was told that the day we moved in.

I try diet after diet. Work out programs out the @$$. Nothings working. My husband and I separate for a bit and i move home. I lose a little weight. Nothing to write home about. Go back to work full time. A little less depressing. Im now a year and a half post pregnancy. Still heavy. My friend shows me this program called thrive. 3 steps a day will give all day energy, better sleep, weight management and mood support. Ha bs right. I stayed skeptical til her husband goes and starts showing his results. Same thing. They just had a kid, he doesnt sleep. No energy for them to take care of their little family and boom thrive picks them up.

Jan 14 2018 i take the leap. I bought my first month. A month goes past and im losing weight. Even i can tell. Im sleeping better at night. Im cleaning faster, playing better with my kids, hardly arguing with them. Boy do i feel amazing.

Fast forward to today I’m 138 and happy how i look and feel. My thrive journey has been the best. And i cant wait to continue this journey. Picture on the left is April of 2019. Right was sept 2016 the last photo i took while weighing the most ive ever weighed in my life.
