been reading, finally writing

I joined mfp about a week ago and so far really love the calorie tracker and have read a lot of posts (especially before and afters). Finally decided today to post my own. Its a little difficult for me because I'm a very private person and something as personal as struggling with my weight is very hard to open up about. Its kinda funny that I feel that way, since the 260 pounds in carrying is hardly a secret to anyone who sees me. I'm a 28 year old wife and mother. I have a 4 year old, 1 year old and am due with my 3rd little boy in December. Not trying to lose a lot until the baby is born, but wanting to get in control now so that when he is born I am ready to go mentally just as much as physically. I LOVE being active but have gotten so big the past year that it makes it very difficult. I actually look so forward to being able to go to umba classes, start training for my first 5 k and most importantly, being able to play with my VERY active boys! I know my major hurdle will be nutrition. I don't overeat but I definitely don't eat in a healthy way. Thanks for reading, and thanks for all the inspiring posts.

Welcome and congratulations on the pregnancy
Its fantastic that you are already making plans on a healthier you - but remember not to put too much pressure on yourself once your baby is born. Things are going to be hectic enough so take it at your own pace and don't deprive yourself. Wishing you the best of luck with the baby and with your weight loss journey!
