MomActive is the new radio show hosted by Leah Segedie and Fiona Bryan from The Bantering Blonde. Our premiere is June 19th at 11am pacific standard time. They are going to have weekly guests that talk all about the same sort of stuff on Bookieboo–How to stay fit or live a healthy lifestyle while being a mom.
Here is Leah’s story about her weight loss and her motivation for starting Bookieboo:
Here is Leah at 215 lbs.
Here is Leah at 149 lbs.
I was 253 lbs. when I gave birth to my first son, whom I refer to as Bookie. (When he was a baby, I called him Bookieboo.) I lost over 100 lbs. after he was born. I did it the old fashioned way: diet and exercise. I did it slowly, taking it 5 lbs. a time, and it ended up taking me two years. Fitness and healthy living have become my lifestyle now. It’s something I enjoy doing and something I enjoy sharing with my family and friends.
After I lost all that weight, I decided to combine my interests and create a site that was helpful to moms. I couldn’t find a go-to place where moms could share their struggles staying or getting into shape. I thought moms would enjoy the concept, so I created Bookieboo.
Bookieboo has over 40 contributors, posting about fitness, weight loss or healthy living. Many are certified personal trainers, but all are moms. No boys please. Bookieboo also has over 100 discount codes to share, as well as weekly giveaways, and great women.
Don’t miss out on the MomActive Twitter Party on June 18 5-8pm PST!

That much weight loss is an incredible accomplishment! You must be so proud! I'm working on losing my baby weight right now, and then some (I was overweight when I got pregnant).
Maybe this is too personal of a question, but did you have problems with your tummy even after losing the weight? I'm afraid I'm gonna have a big skin flap.
What a great site! I think diet and exercise are the way to go – anything unhealthy doesn't last anyway.
