71lb (27.5kg) weight loss including having a baby

Hi, I have been on the MFP bandwagon for a few years now (3 in fact) and it has helped me immensely!
I was 96kg (232lbs) when I first wanted to lose weight and I am now down to 66.5kg (160.9lbs). It took me about 18 months to lose 30 kilograms and I maintained that weight for about 3-4 months before I found out I was pregnant. I kept using MFP during my pregnancy and put on about 16 kilograms (39lbs), slightly more than I had hoped but I did t have to buy any maternity clothes

I just found a before photo.
And I realised after I posted my story that I hadn't finished (sorry)
After I had my baby, I had tried my hardest to get straight back into exercise and eating what I used to eat (thank goodness for no more morning sickness!) it was difficult but the result is that I am back into my pre-pegnancy clothes and my weight is what I was just before I fell pregnant.
There's work ahead to maintain a healthy diet and weight but I couldn't have imagined being the size I was (16-18 dress size) and then falling pregnant. MFP has been a HUGE help and if you think you can't do this while lifestyle change, I assure you that you certainly can!!!
