Hello!

I started out in December 2016 at 155lb 5'2" 32 yrs old and my daughter was 16 months old.

When I got pregnant I was 139lb, got up to 167lb then the baby weight never really totally fell off once I had her. I lost some weight, but was struggling with not getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight, ideally I wanted to be even lower than that.. but that was my first goal. I started casually counting, not weighing anything or even logging every day.. just kind of easing in to it and no exercise yet. By the Spring I was down only 10lb, so I kicked it into high gear and started logging and weighing myself daily, bought a food scale and used it as often as possible. I also added walking to my routine, I'd walk Monday-Friday for about 20 minutes on my lunch break, then walk after dinner 4-5 days a week with my daughter for 30 minutes. It started falling off much quicker! I flew past my pre-pregnancy weight by July and kept on going. I'm currently in maintenance mode weighing in at 127-129lb until the weather changes and I can get out moving again. My ultimate goal was 128lb, I hit that in 10 months time. Now I'd like to see 125lb.. it's slow going that I have so little left to lose, but I know I'll get there eventually.

Best of luck to you, it can be done!

Awesome! What was your calorie goal? I can't wait till it's warmer out so baby and I can go on long walks.
