I’ll get us started 😊

I’m Victoria, I’m actually an old dog on MFP started way back in 2010. In 2011, I was actually a success story and lost over 30 lbs dropping from 156 to 123. I successfully kept the weight off until 2016 when I had my last baby.

My biggest fear in getting pregnant again had been around being able to lose weight since I knew how hard it was to do and worked to be at my goal weight. Unfortunately, I didn’t bounce back and have spent the last 8 years being unsuccessful. My heaviest (non-pregnant) weight on record was on 4/1/24 when I weighed in at 178 lbs. At 5’2, that put me well into the obese category.

I’ve been committed to getting back to a healthy weight and have been actively on track since Jan.10th (172.6 lbs). I’ve started taking better care of myself, overhauled my diet, and added in daily exercise. Since January, I’ve lost 17 lbs, but still have another 20 to go before I’m considered to have a healthy BMI.

I’m having major surgery next week (with a long recovery) and I’m worried how that will impact my progress, but I’ll be tracking the changes along the way.
