Mother of Twins on a diet

So you might think that being the mother of twins (boy/girl) in case you wanted to know, is hard. Honestly it is not all that bad, it is getting rid of the weight I put on that is the real trial. How much? Would you believe 130 lbs!!!
I know, I know.. but my doctor said.. "eat, I want those babies to be a healthy weight" and she did get what she asked for 6 lbs 10 oz and 5 bs 2 oz.. but now.. as they are approaching 2 1/2 years of age.. I am still hanging onto 30 lbs of unwanted and let's face it unneeded baby weight...
Well, what have I tried, you ask? To me it seems like everything and nothing worked.

First, I did breast feed.. BOTH OF THEM.. for just over a year and I can tell you honestly that although I knew it was the best thing for them, I was also hoping that it would help melt the weight right off of me... no such luck.

Then, I tried watching what I ate and exercising more. Umm, not such an easy thing when you are trying to take care of two babies, work part-time, take care of the house.. when I was finally able to find a minute all I really wanted to do was sleep!

Next step, talk to my doctor! YES!! I got the magic pill.. I was supposed to feel less hungry, eat less and lose some weight.. oh yes, but I could also develop a heart condition..hmm, maybe not the best choice

Okay, so back on my own again. Let's try Alli....well... it did work a little.. but let me tell you if you eat too much fat at a meal and that could be just one piece of cheese too many..you pay for it later. Honestly it was kind of cool the orange ring it left in the toilet, but that is another story.

Now, I am trying Physicans Weight loss. Since the beginning of July I have lost 7 lbs.. but learned this week (I haven't lost any weight) there is no room for messing up or not drinking enough water.. and they want you to drink alot of water...hold on gotta pee... see that is the problem with tons of water.. tons of potty trips.
Anyway.. wish me luck and I will keep you posted on this part of the journey.. As well as other aspects of raising twins...

Next Blog.. Potty Training.. who would have guessed the toliet was possesed.
