hi all!
My name is Jennifer and I am a 26 year old homemaker in rural NorCal. I have 1 child who is 23 months. I am here to lose weight thatI gained when I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks in March followed by hospitalizatons for a uterine hemorrage and shock. Because of that, I had to sit around for more than 6 weeks to let my body heal, thus gaining weight on top of the pregnancy weight I had already gained!
I cut out all sugar, flour and starchy foods and moved into the Aktins induction last month...I lost 13 pounds already! This is a delicious diet/WOL to me because I was a low fat vegan until my hemmorage. Then I did more research into my diet and decided that I needed animal products after reading Nourishing Traditons and Nutritition andPhysical Degeneration.

I am starting to excerise again (Jack, my toddler, takes most of my energy!) I am going to start driving to town to run because I am kind of afraid to run alone with all the wildlife in our area (bears, mountian loins). I also love free weights.

I have been lurking for a few weeks and I am excited to encourage eachother!!! Jennifer

Welcome, Jen

You sound like you've done your homework on what your body needs. Congrats onthe pounds lost. Sorry about your health concerns. I know a miscarriage is devistating then to add all the rest must have been really hard on you. But you seem to have come back stronger and ready to take control. Good for you!

I'm sure you'll find many friends here. And to reiterate what Henry said...keep up the good work!
