New Mom

Hi! I'm not new to My Fitness Pal, but wow, have I been slacking!! A lot has happened in my life since the last time I was really into this: big move, new job, new house, got married, and now I have a four month old daughter! I gained 29 lbs with my pregnancy and I've already lost it all and then some, but the problem is the weight I had gained/regained prior to that. I'm not calling this baby weight... Baby belly, maybe. Yes, my belly has definitely changed a bit, but rather than focus on that, I need to improve my health in general. For me, for my family, for my life. I want to set a good example for my daughter, improve my blood pressure and cholesterol, and fit into my clothes a little better. I've got about forty pounds to lose. I'm really looking forward to this winter ending soon so we can go for walks to the park. Anyway, hello again!

Thank you both! Yeah, I've been overweight for a long time, and the more time has passed, the harder it seems to get the motivation and momentum to do what has to be done. But we can do it!
