    I weigh less now than I did when I was 14 so is it doable? yes, but, I had more muscle then than I do now as I was swimming competitively 5-7 times a week so size wise I was smaller then than I am now. Must look at doing a recomp soon....

    Pregnancy and the stress of caring for little monkeys always makes me feel ok about making excuses for eating all the food and drinking all the drinks. A year after #2 was born I realized I weighed 230 and was 5'3"...and I didn't even weight that much when I was pregnant. I got down to 185 lbs on here before I got pregnant with #3 who is 11 weeks old. This time, I'm being mindful that I like to make excuses.

    I'm not saying you did the same, but a lot of days I just felt like "I survived work and 2 kids and I DESERVE to eat and drink whatever makes me happy." But, it only made me happy temporarily. I'm about 9lbs away from pre-pregnancy weight and then I'd like to lose another 30lbs and see how I feel.

    You can do this. It's important I think to figure out why you are eating. For me, it was a reward, stress relief kinda thing.
