F/27 4 Months Post Partum: Weight Loss Journey

Introduction

ShelBoochy, a Reddit user, recently shared her weight loss journey on the platform. She is a 27-year-old mother of three, who had just given birth four months ago. ShelBoochy's post is filled with insights and tips that can help inspire anyone who is looking to lose weight and get healthier.

ShelBoochy's Weight Loss Journey

As someone who is a self-proclaimed mesomorph and who builds muscle easily, ShelBoochy's weight has always been a bit misleading. Her weight loss journey started after her third child was born, and she weighed in at 150 pounds. Just one week after delivery, she had lost a few pounds already. At four months, she is now down to 138 pounds – shedding 12 pounds in the process.

Diet & Exercise Routine

ShelBoochy's routine consists of a healthy mix of diet and exercise. She's currently breastfeeding and has to eat quite a bit. She typically has oatmeal with fruit, chia seeds, and flax seeds for breakfast, along with coffee. For lunch, she has a salad with vegetables, some lean protein, and sometimes no carbs. For dinner, she eats a lot of chicken, fish, steamed, and/or roasted vegetables. Sometimes, she adds potatoes, rice, or quinoa to her meals. She also indulges in snacks such as homemade guacamole or some dark chocolate. In terms of exercise, she's been doing resistance training through programs like Chloe Ting's "Get Fit” and Caroline Girvan's “Epic 1” program for five days a week, alternately focusing on specific muscle groups. She ends her day with a one-hour cardio workout – usually, walking on her treadmill while watching her favorite TV shows.

Tips for New Moms

ShelBoochy's post is more than just a weight loss journey – it's also filled with insights and tips for new moms. She says that self-care and taking some time off for yourself is even more important when you become a parent. She believes that taking the time to exercise and eating healthy is essential for not only feeling good about oneself but also being a better mom and wife to take care of others. ShelBoochy also advises new moms to be kind to themselves as postpartum journeys can be stressful and make it hard to adapt to new changes in one's life.

Conclusion

With her post, ShelBoochy has shown that losing weight and getting healthier, even as a new mom, can be done through a combination of exercise, healthy eating, and self-care. Her journey is an inspiration and serves as a reminder to all that taking time out for yourself is essential in order to take care of others.
