    I think your weight loss is great. I myself during pregnancy gained about 40 pounds. I started at 110 and ended at 150 and I'm 5'6. I was not able to breast feed because I could not produce enough milk so I did not get the advantage of losing weight from that. I'm not the healthiest eater but the smartest thing I did was listen to my doctor. He told me as soon as my stitches heal to exercise. Not only for weight loss but for energy. Those pounds that were left after delivery needed to go and it is not that easy because your body has changed. I succeeded with little change in my diet. I used aerobics workout which I think is most effective and cross training with weighs. I am not a fan of gym weight equipment, I feel free weights are more effective. I also used a step, That's it. My workouts were 1hour and 20 min. 50 mins of aerobics 30 mins of strengthening and toning three days a week and NO ALCOHOL..... in six months 115 pounds. I stay between 110 and 115 after years. Losing weight can be difficult but maintaining it is harder. Yes you must have some limits on your consumption of food, alcohol and sweet drinks but more importantly your exercise routine cannot be compromised. Fitness is a life time commitment and you have to be strong and focus to succeed. Your Children look Great!

    My husband moved to korea when my twins were 9 months old. It was very difficult raising twins for us with no help and no family around. As you said it s double the work and the stress... any little comfort during the day was precious. There was no time to think or prepare healthy food, sometimes no time to eat even... it was tough i understand you...

      Hey, not sure if you'll read this but I understand your dilemma. I found that if I have a high protein breakfast and eat every 3 hours and nothing at all after 4pm, the cravings are GONE. If I skip breakfast, all I want by 3pm are muffins, double chocolate donuts and lattes! My menstrual cycles always sabogate my diet attempts but if I actually have a huge breakfast high in protein or (oatmeal if you're not doing keto), it will keep cravings at bay. A miracle that took me 2 decades to figure. Everyone is different but for us with high cortisol (stress hormone), it is a miracle.

    • @diannainkorea

I took my daughter to the dentist when she was 4yrs. And 4 front teeth were removed.

    I always enjoy watching your family vlogs. I became offended when your husband made a joke, referring to fried chicken and watermelon. He was referring to American stereotypes about African Americans. Why is he taking dibs at your culture? Does he do this often off camera? I didn’t like that at all. He has Black children. If he is harboring racial prejudice, this can affect the children’s self, in a culture that that may already have racial prejudice against Black people. Not okay!

    Dianna, not sure if you remember me but I first started watching you in 2022 when I caught covid, you responded which meant a lot. I remember being half dead but binge watched your videos. I gained a ton of weight since then but after seeing you morph into your old self, I was so motivated. No cap. I legit, said ENOUGH! I am sick of blaming my kids and being a single mom as an excuse. So I started doing growwithjo workout videos and mrmrsmuscle videos and went keto like you. I have lost 13lbs....but I am still learning and so am so excited that you are finally sharing your journey with us. You are an insipration, Dianna. Lots of love from Canada 🌼🌼🌼

I know for me, losing weight was easy, compared to keeping it off. I now find myself needing to loose about 65 pounds!!! I hope I will be able to loose it. You give me and others like me inspiration. Keep it up! The children are smart, enthusiastic and happy. You seem to have a great marriage and sweet husband and are doing a wonderful job with motherhood and being a wife. Take care.

    Is it the American rambunctiousness showing in Jun and Mingi? When they were younger, did you all spend a lot of time in the States? Unlike the other Korean children I've seen in your videos, the twins seem so much more energetic almost like wild horses constantly galloping around and making noise😂 They never seem to be still or quiet for very long, and I have often thought it's the cultural differences showing through. They are beautiful kids though😊
