    I have two little ones. A 3 year old and a one year old. I gained 50 lbs with both. My second child I had May 16th 2013. I topped out at 190 lbs before I gave birth. I was 170 lbs at my 6 week postpartum check up. June 20th I started my weight loss. I picked a sustainable deficit at around 1650 net and did mostly walking a few days a week and weightlifting 3x a week. It took me 9 months but I lost 53 lbs and went from over 35% BF to 17%. I'm honestly in much better shape and two jeans sizes smaller than I was in high school, even ! 

    The most important thing for me was learning moderation and fitting things I enjoyed into my day. Weightlifting was something I fell in love with and stuck to. The key to success is understanding that it isn't easy and it won't always go smoothly. Falling down and getting back up. Never giving up was one of the most important things I ever did. You can do it, too. Just take it slow and learn sustainable habits and you'll get there. Here's a great read to get you started

    Do it. We can do it together. Add me. I was 230, I'm 168 now and I"m not sure what my goal is but I'm in this for life and there is no going back. That 60+ pounds that I killed are gone for life. :D

    Focus on little goals, be honest with yourself and you will do it. :)
