Before and during piccies - 1/2 way to target after baby

I find seeing in black and white the calorie intake everyday is a huge motivational boost. If I didn't track calories on here i'd probably eat double what I do. I had a baby 11weeks ago, which ended in an emergency C-section, meaning I couldn't exercise properly for 6-8wks. I then started walking everyday and started JM 30 days shred again last Monday and took baby swimming. I've lost 2stone in 11weeks :) I've another 2stone to go but feeling very motivated that I will do it :) Used MFP last few weeks and have lost 3lb each of last 3wks :) Will post progress piccies along the way :) Sorry this is piccie heavy - it's for me for motivation!!

My target - as was before pregnancy, roughly 9stone4lbs

Bridesmaid 5 weeks postpartum - huge and felt it! Doesn't even look like me! These piccies gave me motivation!

    I've never tried uploading but I've heard that changing IMG to img makes a world of difference (but I could be wrong!). There are instructions in a post at the top of the Message Boards

    All you have to do is this code (img)PICTURE LINK GOES HERE(/img) except with brackets instead of parenthesis. The "img" part has to be in lower case letters :)

    Awesome! After my first baby I only had 35 to lose but then got pregnant again and now need 67 (62lbs) to get down to prepregnancy weight /: You have done an awesome job!

    Thank you and good luck to you with your weight loss :) I can't understand how I put so much on as I had Gestational Diabetes and eat healthily throughout pregnancy but guess we all put on different amounts when pregnant. Will hopefully have some more piccies to add in next few wks :)
